“Between stimulus and response there is a space, in that space is our power to choose our response, and in our response lies our growth and freedom”- Gordon Bruin Clinical Director - The Haven Retreat
EDUCATION
While attending the Time To Heal Retreat you will have the opportunity to attend classes designed to assist you on your mission to change old patterns and behaviors that were created when you experienced the trauma of being sexually abused as a child.
Some of the classes include Grounding & Trigger Management, Restorative Sleep, and Overcoming Shame, were all designed to help you learn and integrate new healthy habits in your daily lives long after you leave the retreat.
HOLISTIC HEALING
At the Time To Heal Retreat you will be immersed in proven ancient holistic healing practice including somatic release techniques such as Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Muay Thai, Tai Chi, EFT (emotional freedom technique), and Reiki which are key to helping release the energy that was stored in your body when you survived the sexual abuse as a child.
In addition to the somatic release, you will learn the ancient practices of Mindfulness and Awareness so you can connect with your body and ground yourself to the here and now; which are very important techniques to practice when you are being triggered or experiencing emotional stress.
EQUINE-ASSISTED THERAPY
While attending the Time To Heal Retreat you will be given the very unique opportunity to participate in equine-assisted therapy. This form of therapy requires no previous knowledge or experience working with horses, all that is asked of you is to be open to the possibility that these majestic animals have a unique ability to look deep into your soul.
As survivors, repressed emotions are one of the most difficult challenges to overcome. With this scientifically proven therapy, your horse will act as a mirror and help you identify your psychological state so you can work through repressed emotions stored deep in the limbic system of your brain.
DIGITAL SURVIVOR SUPPORT GROUP
Upon arriving home from the retreat you will be encouraged to join your group of fellow participants for a self-lead online support group. Here you will come together once a week to cheer on and support each other during the transition back into your daily lives.
You will be joined by your group leader for the first two meetings to help assist you in the start-up of your support group. By creating a safe space to come together with people you trust, you take home with you the support, encouragement and safety you had while attending Time To Heal. The bonds that you build with the other survivors will be lifelong, and their love, compassion, and kindness will be a powerful asset on your path to healing.
