Retreats of the Past

2024 Retreats

“Retreats are created to cultivate an environment for healing.”

-Alicia Tappan, Founder & CEO

On November 4-10th, 2024, we headed to the luxurious shores of Maui, HI. Partnering with Calvary Chapel Church of South Maui, our survivor leaders will get the opportunity to have the ultimate getaway. Silencing the outside noise and digging into rest, relaxation, and restoration, this retreat was unique and unforgettable. Discover how you can support this exceptional opportunity for survivor leaders. Fill their cup so they can continue to pour out.

Laramie, WY, May 22-27th, 2024: Women from all over the country gathered at the Cowboy Cross Ranch to experience rest and rejuvenation. From horseback riding, the gun range, the polar plunge, and a blizzard, the Wild Wild West did NOT disappoint. We are grateful for the time adventuring and getting to know one another in a beautiful and serene environment. We will be back!

Destin, FL March 10-15, 2024, Survivors were gathered in a beautiful two story, multi-bed and bathroom home. Complete with two kitchens, several balconies, a pool, and a week filled of trauma informed activities, survivor-leaders were encouraged to kick back, relax, and enjoy the different workshops provided. From sand trays to skin care, and cooking classes to massage and facials, the week was filled with opportunities to laugh, share, and grow together!

2023: Rod & Staff Ranch, WY

In 2023 an intimate retreat was hosted in Laramie, WY at the Rod & Staff Ranch where wild horses, antelope, and bison were part of the experience. From morning hula and devotional bible study to painting, bison feed, RTV and gun range practice, this retreat was nestled in the mountains in the wild west. Daily facials, massages, and a trip to the hot and cold springs made for a well-balanced retreat in the beautiful cabin provided for lodging.

2022: Coldwater Gardens, FL

In 2022, a dozen women from around the nation regathered, some returning, some new, at the glamping destination location at Coldwater Gardens, FL. Cabins, yurts, and glamping spaces were reserved, and the entire area was booked for the private event. Trauma informed care workshops, private chef, glow dance party, and personal golf carts were catered for the retreat. The beauty of the river and hiking trails created a serene space for healing and rest.

2021: Pensacola Beach, FL

Our very first Survivor Leader Retreat!!! In 2021, twenty women from around the nation gathered on the beautiful white sand beaches of Pensacola Beach, FL. With two beach houses and extra rooms rented at a nearby hotel, the survivor leaders gathered to break bread, restore their minds and bodies, and participate in various trauma-informed care services and extra-curricular activities for several days. Local providers and entertainment included a sound bath, a luxurious picnic, glow paddle, catered meals from nearby restaurants, and presentations of cold brew and cocktails. Friendships were built and a legacy began. Coverage by Channel 5 News, Mobile, AL.
