Healing Retreat for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Trauma

Date: Thursday, Jan. 23 6pm - Sunday, Jan. 26th 10am
Location: The Skyhouse - Los Osos, CA

Within the context of growing awareness and action in our social world around sexual trauma, this is a time for survivors to unite and together undo the effects of trauma on the body, mind and spirit.

Along the path of healing/wholing lies an unraveling of the pervasiveness of silence and shame, and the need for sacred spaces for connecting with others, grieving, and being held and witnessed within community. This heart-centered retreat will be held by the nurturing grounds of Dancing Deer as we believe in the healing that happens with connection to the land as well as with others.

The intention of this retreat is to create a safe space for honoring and expressing fullness in the context of a small group of survivors. The retreat will include a variety of modalities to explore how these childhood experiences are held in the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of self and offers opportunities for release, clearing and healing through talking circles, movement, visualization, singing, a grief ritual, and quiet integration time. Participants will have the opportunity to be honored and witnessed in their individual experience while being held within the container of the group.

Who is it for:
This retreat is for adult survivors of childhood sexual trauma, defined as any sexual violation experienced by someone under the age of 18.

This retreat is for survivors who have been enculturated as women (including but not limited to cisgender women, trans women and nonbinary people assigned female).
