One of Voices Against Violence for Women & Children’s formalized programs was the retreat experience. It began in 2016 as a response to an unmet need to help survivors heal in mind, body and spirit—not as a first response to crisis but as a “next” response.

The retreat program provides options for healing for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse using a holistic approach to healing by integrating traditional healing methods, like talk therapy and psycho-education, with modalities such as creative expression, group sessions, emotional clearing, healing through movement, journaling, art & crafts, experiencing nature and more—all of which takes place in the nurturing environment of community.

Our approach is grounded in possibility; we seek to elevate the goal of healing from one of survival to a life thriving with possibility and joy.
