She Is!
A Storytelling
Writing Retreat

She Is! - A writing retreat tailored for self-identified women who are survivors, this retreat will provide a supportive and empowering environment for healing through creative expression. This retreat aims to create a safe space where participants can share their stories, explore their emotions, and find strength in their resilience. Through various writing exercises, workshops, and guided discussions, attendees can harness the therapeutic power of writing to process their experiences, connect with others who have faced similar challenges, and foster a sense of community. This retreat not only nurtures individual healing but also encourages a collective narrative that breaks the silence surrounding these issues, fostering empowerment and solidarity among us.
