A Weekend Residential Workshop for
ADULT FEMALE SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ABUSE/RAPEE/RAPE.
This weekend retreat is for FEMALE adult survivors of sexual child abuse and sexual assaults, and because of the subject matter, and there being both day and evening sessions, this weekend workshop is residential.
* Experience has taught us that participants benefit far more, and your recovery and learning is enhanced by the weekend residential component.
* This event is intended for adult female survivors who are actively engaged in their own recovery work.
Please consider joining in the company of other women, working on issues that affect female survivors and by working throughout the weekend, in groups, small workshops and other arenas of healing, you will reach a deeper understanding of the issues that have affected you and you will begin to see a better way forward, from the hurt and pain that has held you in isolation for so long.
The weekend is highly participative and focuses on several activities - group discussions, sharing of stories, anger work, other emotional expression, shared creativity, relaxation and even FUN in a safe, nurturing environment.
We provide a recovery experience in a safe, powerful environment of shared healing, as the weekend focuses on the reality of recovery as can only be shown by being with and around fellow female survivors.
There are many valid reasons for holding these weekend, but a simple way of describing it is as follows:
WE REMEMBER...
* 10% of what we read
* 20% of what we hear
* 30% of what we see
* 50% of what we hear and see
* 90% of what we do
....so we learn most by doing and reflecting on our actions!
There are safety rules built into the weekend to ensure everyones safety during the weekend, but the THREE primary rules we insist upon are:
1. MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY BETWEEN THE GROUP.
2. NO VIOLENCE, OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE DIRECTED TOWARDS ANYONE, INCLUDING YOURSELF.
3. NO ILLEGAL DRUGS ALLOWED AT ANYTIME DURING THE WEEKEND.
Considerable attention has always been invested in creating an environment respectful of participants' needs, and it remains our intention to provide that at this great venue.
Please be aware that the weekend could potentially generate strong emotions, so it is recommended that you have to someone to talk with, be that in therapy or with a counsellor willing to meet with you after the event, but only if such a meeting is required.
It would also be advisable to ensure that on departing the weekend, that you take a day or two off work, so you can spend some time processing what happened during the weekend. We know that is not always possible, but please consider it, as you will be taking part, and working throughout the weekend, and its good to take some time out and rest.
