Trauma Informed. Faith Based. Survivor Centered.
A Weekend of Hope, Healing, and Freedom
You do not have to walk this healing journey alone.
Alive At Last: Lasting Life Retreat is a faith based retreat designed to provide women who have experienced sexual trauma with a safe place to rest, reconnect, heal, and rediscover hope.
Whether your experience happened recently or years ago, healing is possible. This retreat creates space to step away from daily responsibilities, connect with women who understand, and experience encouragement, practical tools, and renewed hope for the future.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Every aspect of Alive At Last: Lasting Life Retreat is designed to create a safe, supportive environment where women can rest, reconnect, and take meaningful steps toward healing.
Throughout the weekend you will experience:
Faith Centered Encouragement
Worship experiences, prayer opportunities, and messages of hope that remind you that healing is possible and that you are deeply valued.
Powerful Survivor Stories
Hear testimonies from women who have walked through trauma and discovered healing, freedom, and renewed purpose.
Interactive Workshops
Participate in trauma informed sessions that provide practical tools, education, and resources to support your healing journey.
Creative Healing Activities
Engage in hands on crafts and activities designed to encourage reflection, expression, and personal growth.
Meaningful Community
Connect with women who understand the challenges of healing from sexual trauma and discover the strength that comes from not walking alone.
Time to Rest
Enjoy peaceful surroundings, quiet moments, and opportunities to simply breathe, reflect, and receive.
Participants are encouraged to engage at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.
WHY YOU MATTER:
Sexual trauma can leave wounds that affect far more than a single moment in time.
For many women, the impact shows up years later through anxiety, fear, shame, isolation, difficulty trusting others, strained relationships, emotional exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from God, themselves, and those they love.
Many survivors become experts at looking okay while carrying burdens no one else can see.
They keep showing up.
They keep serving.
They keep surviving.
Yet deep inside, they long for safety, healing, and hope.
Alive At Last: Lasting Life Retreat was created to offer something many women have never experienced: a safe space where they don’t have to explain everything to be understood.
A place where healing is welcomed.
A place where women can connect with others who understand the journey.
A place where faith, community, and practical healing tools come together to help survivors move forward with hope.
Your story matters.
Your healing matters.
And your future is not defined by what happened to you.
