Trauma Retreats

“The soul is like a wild animal; it will only come out if we are still and quiet”

Trauma is a felt experience of an event that causes an overwhelm on the emotional, mental, and cellular level.

  • Mission

    The mission of Recalibrate Retreat is to help clients face the traumatic events they have experienced, effectively cope with them, integrate them into their life story, and move forward with a stronger sense of self-efficacy. While we cannot change the past, we can pave the way for a healthier and brighter future. Completing a trauma-focused retreat fosters competence and confidence, empowering clients to no longer feel overwhelmed by trauma-related problems. Imagine having the dedicated time, space, and support to fully explore, process, and release your pain in a safe environment.

  • Why Four Days?

    Traditional 53-minute therapy sessions often fall short for clients dealing with deep trauma. Opening and exploring the complexities of trauma—what can feel like Pandora's Box—requires more time and space than a standard session allows. A four-day retreat provides the opportunity to open, process, and close this box in a safe, supportive, and uninterrupted environment.

    This intensive approach offers:

    ·       Time for Deep Work: The retreat format ensures ample time for thorough exploration and healing.

    ·       Effective Processing: Trauma-focused therapy and somatic techniques are integrated to address the roots of trauma.

    ·       Sustainable Results: Clients leave with tools and practices to maintain progress and move forward.

  • What to Expect

    Recalibrate Retreat combines talk therapy with Polyvagal Somatic Therapy to address trauma on both physiological and psychological levels. Recognizing the interconnectedness of mind and body, the retreat incorporates:

    ·       Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): A scientifically proven approach to processing traumatic experiences.

    ·       Polyvagal Therapy: Mind-body exercises to release pent-up tension and recalibrate the autonomic nervous system.

    ·       Curated Experiences: Tailored to clients’ specific needs, these may include:

    o   Cranial sacral massage

    o   Equine-assisted psychotherapy

    o   Nature immersion

    o   Culinary exploration

    o   Art therapy

    o   Movement practices

    The retreat is designed to shift the focus from being stuck in trauma to moving forward. Through the art of titration, clients process their pain in manageable, healing doses.

  • Who It’s For

    Recalibrate Retreat is for anyone who has experienced trauma, whether it’s the result of a life-altering event (Big "T" Trauma) or cumulative, smaller experiences (small "t" trauma). It is especially suited for those who:

    ·       Struggle with intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or nightmares

    ·       Feel stuck in their healing journey

    ·       Wish to break free from the cycle of pain and transform their story into one of resilience

How It Works

  • Step 1

    Foundation Building The retreat begins with creating a safe and supportive environment, allowing clients to open up and explore their trauma.

  • Step 2

    Trauma Processing Using TF-CBT and Polyvagal Therapy, clients engage in structured sessions to process and release the pain held within the body and mind.

  • Step 3

    Integration and Healing Curated experiences and somatic practices deepen the healing process, fostering a sense of competence and empowerment.

  • Step 4

    Transition to Daily Life The retreat concludes with tools and strategies for continued healing and integration into everyday life. Clients return home with a firm foundation for ongoing therapy and self-care.

The Power of Transformation

“If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it—usually to those closest to us: our family, our neighbors, our co-workers, and, invariably, the most vulnerable, our children. Scapegoating, exporting our unresolved hurt, is the most common storyline of human history.”

Our trauma and pain can either become our storyline or it can become our road to transformation. A trauma retreat and ongoing therapy are designed to let us sit with the pain, allow ourselves the ability to think, identify, and finally process our feelings. The retreat and ongoing therapy are designed to help you release the pain in a healthy way. This is the journey to healing. The trauma retreat is designed to get you on track—to get the first mile underway. Continued therapy will get you to the finish line!

Cost

Transform Your Pain Into Growth

Unresolved trauma robs us of joy, peace, and connection, often leaving us feeling exhausted, irritable, and disconnected from our purpose. Through the Recalibrate Retreat, you can embark on a transformative journey, releasing the weight of the past and stepping into a brighter, healthier future.
