RETREATS

Wounded Healers Retreat

In our roles as faith leaders, we hold space for others' pain even as we carry our own—including pain incurred within faith communities. For many, past experiences within churches and religious communities have left deep, often unspoken wounds. This retreat offers a compassionate environment for leaders to process their own stories of faith—a space to pause, process, and name what they’ve experienced and what they’re holding as they seek to thoughtfully and safely companion others on a similar journey.

Through guided reflection, healing practices, and peer support, we’ll explore the complexities of faith and trauma. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we’ll inventory our own faith formation, naming the elements that have been deeply meaningful as well as those that have inflicted pain and caused harm. Together, we’ll imagine what a healthy and safe faith community can look like—one that contributes to the world’s flourishing—and we’ll develop the requisite skills to lead as wounded healers.
