Coming hOMe Events

Our coming hOMe events invite survivors of sexual assault or domestic violence to come together and celebrate the SACRED FEMININE within; and to support one another on our journey towards freedom from the internalized trauma of our past experiences.


Enjoy 8-10 hours of  progressive yoga asana, pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation, formatted and presented by a certified yoga therapist over the course of this weekend retreat.


Explore your creativity with art therapy techniques to creatively manifest and share your internal experience.


Dive into the practice of Intentional Writing in which we allow the truth of our experience to rise to the surface and be freely expressed in a safe and loving space.


A healthful lunch will be served on Saturday. We will share this time to practice mindful eating, celebrating our bodies and honor our needs.


Throughout the weekend we will explore listening and sharing practices that will culminate with a final sharing circle and celebration.

Inviting survivors of invasive trauma to come together and celebrate

the SACRED FEMININE within; and to support one another on our journey towards freedom from the internalized trauma of our past experiences.


“When there are people like you who care, who are healers, and also survivors; there is something special about being asked to come to a sacred space ... to be held with honor and knowing that healing is [occurring] over a long time and on many levels.

It touched me to be offered a kindness as an oasis. That comes along infrequently.

It brought me back to my inner kindness -the nurturing kindness that you all gave to us made its way into my core. This morning

I found myself dialoguing with my inner critic and engaging the shame beneath it, to really work it out so that I can remove more of the ghosts from the original and accumulated trauma created. 

I, we as survivors, need the deserted places to be fertilized as we symbolically did over the weekend, to be enriched-- to grow-- hands stretching towards the sky (what's that pose called?) until we are filled once again with a yet different love and grace within ourselves to overflow into others' lives as a kindness, as a peace, connected to each other.”
