The phone and online are naturally impersonal—sexual trauma can only be supported and healing can begin when people are brought together to address the unique symptoms of trauma, human to human.
By offering an accelerated healing experience with a foundation in trauma education, Sunlight Retreats offers a holistic, scientific and peer-supported pathway to post-traumatic growth in mind, body and spirit.

““Thank you for caring about our healing! This was an extraordinary experience-much needed healing time doing self-care and learning to overcome PTSD. I hope these retreats continue to help the community heal and those impacted by sexual abuse and rape. Retreats help us see that we are not alone!”- Sunlight Retreats Team One Member
