Weekends of Recovery For Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse
The MaleSurvivor Weekends of Recovery provide a way to find words, understanding and a sense of community to men as they continue their experience of psychotherapy or begin the process of recovery. This experience is structured to provide experiences that are not often available in traditional talk therapy environments.
These dynamic retreats are structured to respond to the many issues facing men on their journey through recovery. This is an opportunity to
share with other survivors some aspect of your healing journey, share inner pain with others who have been there, give a voice to your experience as a survivor, experience a safe environment and a safe place to let go and open up, and a safe place to build and experience a sense of community and joy.
“It was the safest retreat I’ve ever been to. I never felt, for even an
instant, that anyone was at risk. The process was empowering and supportive. I connected with other guys powerfully. I’m still corresponding with most of them in a supportive and nurturing way.” (Retreat Participant)
