About this Event
“One of the most beautiful sounds that I have ever heard is the sound of a beautiful, strong woman’s voice once she has discovered her true worth. She sounds empowered… she sounds confident… but most of all… she sounds free.” -Unknown
We are pleased to host our third annual Women to Women Retreat, dedicated to the unique strengths and challenges of being a woman in recovery. Recovery is an ongoing journey—one that invites continuous self-exploration, growth, and renewal. No matter where you are on this path, or what you are recovering from, all are welcome.
This year’s retreat focuses on embracing your authentic self and confidently expressing your needs, boundaries, and desires—a vital part of the recovery process. Through guided discussions and experiential activities, we will explore how to cultivate inner strength, speak our truth, and fully step into our authentic selves.
