Healing Retreat for Survivors of Sexual Assault

Hosted by Rooted Within, this 6 day/5 night in-person retreat is for alumnae of Military Service Academies who are survivors of sexual assault. Each of the MSAs is allocated 6 participants. Between USAFA women, ZASA supporters and the AOG, we are anticipating supporting 5 USAFA alumnae. Our goal is to raise an additional $4,800 to support lodging, fees and travel for a 6th survivor. This retreat creates opportunities for trauma recovery and connection with other participants, while helping alumnae survivors heal, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Education and Opportunities:

• A powerful recovery process that moves participants forward in their healing and allows them to more fully live their lives

• Controlled progressive exercises

• Building connections within a sense of community

• Psychoeducation on the neurobiology of trauma
