Survivor's Healing Retreats
Stand Up Survivor offers a Survivor's Healing Retreat is for women who have experienced domestic violence. All of our retreats are planned and led by fellow survivors. This retreat brings survivors together from all walks of life to share, heal, laugh, cry, be empowered, gain education, and insight.
Participants experience multiple workshops and activities geared toward survivors where the focus is empowerment, healing, growth, exploration, and much more. Being surrounded by others who have endured similar experiences allows for mutual support and accountability.
Be prepared to experience an amazing weekend that frees you and allows you to dream new dreams.
Join together with other sisters who have walked where you’ve walked and watch friendships build for a lifetime.
