Weekend of Recovery

Weekend of Recovery (WOR) retreats provide adjunctive support for any male-identified individual – 18 or older – who is a survivor of sexual trauma as a child and/or as an adult. By engaging participants in creating an environment that supports safety needs for male-identified survivors, our program format seeks to acknowledge and honor the authentic diversities of attendees at each WOR (sexuality, gender, racial, ethnic, class, spirituality, etc.). Alumni of WOR retreats report the experience contributed to easing their suffering; to enabling higher functioning; to facilitating healthier relationships with friends, partners, children; to inspiring activism; and to diminishing the cycle of victimization.

Population(s) Served
Men and boys
People with psychosocial disabilities

Survivors are resilient and have developed the ability to feel better and experience safety, self-worth, intimacy, and freedom. Difficult emotions, such as shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, anger and many others, may feel like inner perpetrators for many survivors by shutting them down and trapping them in unhealthy patterns. The Day of Recovery is designed to help participants develop a conscious and healing relationship with these difficult emotions – a relationship characterized by exquisite self-compassion, self-respect, and self-direction. We will utilize mindfulness skills, body awareness and empowerment, experiential activities, music, art, outdoor exploration, movement, play, and small-group processing to reach these goals.

General goals for a Day of Recovery – to help you leave with:

To provide an opportunity to experience a safe environment in which participants can discover they are no longer alone in their recovery;
To provide an opportunity to co-create and experience safety with other survivors as they explore further aspects of their healing journey;
To provide an opportunity for survivors to be more open and share their experiences with others who have encountered sexual violation.
To provide a safe place where participants can experience a sense of community, brotherhood, and joy
