Details

The Finding Peace Retreat offers a calm, nurturing environment where individuals can step away from daily stress and focus on healing. Designed specifically for those impacted by emotional pain, the retreat creates a sacred space for reflection, restoration, and reconnection. At the heart of the experience is a trauma-informed approach rooted in the Six Attachment Wounds—Abandonment, Abuse, Betrayal, Neglect, Rejection, and Loss. These wounds often shape our beliefs, relationships, and sense of self. Through compassionate guidance, participants explore how these wounds have affected their lives and begin the process of healing. Unique features of the retreat include powerful storytelling experiences, experiential group activities, mindfulness practices, and facilitated discussions that create meaningful breakthroughs. The supportive community fosters trust and emotional safety, helping individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. By the end of the retreat, participants leave with practical tools for self-compassion, emotional regulation, and connection, along with a renewed sense of peace, hope, and purpose.

Testimonials

info

After attending the retreat, I’ve come to the realization that my wounds do not define who I am today. I’ve learned that I am worthy of love, happiness, and acceptance. Being able to connect with all the other amazing people on the weekend gave me the sense that I am not alone! It was very comforting not to feel judged, but to be loved and accepted just for me.

Daniel R, United States

I have a pattern of isolation. I am afraid of being a burden to other people. Prior to attending the retreat, I felt I was the only one struggling with my emotions and the entire world rested on my shoulders. I was using methods I thought were coping, but in actuality, I was numbing. During the retreat, I learned how to recognize them and reach out instead of isolating them. I realized that I am not a burden. I am loved.

Madison, United States

My biggest challenge has been chronic pain. I have even battled with thoughts of self-harm. Before attending The Finding Peace Retreat, I felt hopeless. The exercises and non-judgmental environment allowed me to feel safe. I can better recognize the wounds in other people and understand that their behavior comes from their own pain and not as a reflection of my worth. I learned the importance of connecting on a daily basis with others and that I am lovable and enough.

Jenny, United States

I earned new vocabulary to help me have clarity about the struggles and challenges I had faced throughout my life. I learned I can be fully honest with others and still be loved and accepted. Leaving the retreat made me realize that I need to practice more self-care and self-patience. I am grateful for the love and kindness I felt. The retreat was amazing!
