The weekend involves large-group sessions, small break-out groups, and individual work. We strive to create a safe environment where you can boldly challenge the negative messages tattoed on your hearts and feeling emotions you may have been suppressing. Participants are invited to allow themselves to be seen, cared for, and supported as they step into the arena of heart work and healing.
The retreat uses experiential learning rather than a lecture. This helps you fully participate in the learning rather than having information passively shared.
During the retreat, we explore attachment wounds (Loss, Rejection, Abandonment, Neglect, Betrayal, or Abuse) and how we developed negative core beliefs that impact our ability to feel joy, happiness, and peace. We explore how shame hijacks our lives. We identify how not feeling enough, powerless, or alone impacts our ability to reach the goals and desires we have in our lives.

The Finding Peace Retreat is designed specifically with a trauma-informed approach, meaning we understand the impact of trauma on individuals and create a safe and supportive environment to facilitate healing. Our program focuses on providing a holistic experience that addresses the mind, body, and spirit, ensuring that participants feel seen, heard, and respected throughout their journey.
While we encourage open and honest communication, you are never required to share anything you’re not comfortable discussing. Our group activities are designed to promote connection and support, but the choice to share personal experiences is entirely up to you. Our facilitators are trained to create a non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere, respecting your boundaries and privacy.
We prioritize the safety and confidentiality of all participants. Our staff and facilitators undergo rigorous training on maintaining privacy and creating a safe space. Additionally, everyone attending the retreat agrees to a confidentiality agreement, which ensures that whatever is shared during the program remains within the group. We take confidentiality very seriously, and breaching this trust would not be tolerated.
It’s normal to feel uncertain about trying something new. Many of our attendees are experiencing a retreat for the first time, and we do our best to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. Our team is available to answer any questions and support you throughout the process. You’ll find that the retreat offers a blend of structured activities and downtime, allowing you to participate at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
The Finding Peace Retreat is designed with the understanding that trauma affects individuals differently. We have created a specialized training that specifically address trauma-related issues that you may face, taking into account the unique experiences and challenges they may encounter. Our goal is to provide a tailored experience that supports your healing and growth.
Absolutely! We recognize that healing is an ongoing process. After the retreat, we provide resources, referrals, and ongoing support to help you continue your journey toward healing. You’ll have access to follow-up sessions, support groups, and a network of fellow participants who can offer understanding and encouragement.
Having both women and men at the retreat serves a specific purpose in creating a diverse and inclusive healing environment. The decision to include participants of all genders is rooted in several important considerations:
1. Gender-Inclusive Healing: Trauma affects individuals regardless of gender, and everyone deserves access to healing and support. By having both women and men at the retreat, we aim to foster an inclusive space where all participants can explore their experiences and work towards healing in a supportive and understanding community.
2. Intersectional Perspectives: Trauma can manifest differently based on various intersections of identity, such as race, gender, and sexuality. Having diverse perspectives and experiences at the retreat allows for richer discussions and a deeper understanding of how trauma impacts individuals uniquely.
3. Learning and Growth: The retreat offers an opportunity for individuals to learn from each other’s experiences and gain insights into how trauma affects different genders. This learning process can help challenge stereotypes, increase empathy, and promote growth both individually and as a community.
4. Creating a Safe Space: As trauma-informed staff, we prioritize creating a safe and respectful environment for all participants. Our facilitators are trained to address any potential concerns and ensure that interactions between participants are conducted with utmost respect and boundaries.
If you feel uncomfortable having your spouse attend the retreat with members of the opposite gender present, we completely understand your feelings. It’s essential to communicate your concerns with us so we can address them appropriately. We can discuss possible accommodations or strategies to ensure your comfort and safety while still fostering a supportive and diverse environment for all participants.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a retreat experience where everyone feels respected, heard, and understood, while working collaboratively to heal from trauma and find peace within themselves. If you have any specific concerns or questions regarding this matter, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, and we’ll do our best to address them. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities.
