We will gather in a beautiful oceanfront home on the Oregon coast for 4 days of personal & group process, locally-sourced meals, and guided practices intended to bring care for those injured by spiritual and narcissistic abuse.
What can you expect?
-
This is a facilitated space for participants to process and receive care for a story or experience of spiritual abuse. Group times will include teaching on narcissism and spiritual abuse, as well as engagement around personal stories of harm.
-
You will be invited to write a specific experience or story of spiritual abuse. For some of you, that might be a specific event. And for others, it may be a larger context that you were in. There is no right or wrong story to bring. You’re then invited to bring your written story to the retreat and during the small group time, you will have the opportunity to read it out loud, and Jill and Rebekah will then facilitate a time for the group to process your story or experience with you.
We will send you some steps for preparation as we move closer to the retreat, but in the meantime, we recommend beginning to consider your own story(s) of spiritual abuse. Maybe you have a significant event, or perhaps your experience felt more subtle. There is no right or wrong experience or story to bring, so for now, just begin to notice what arises.
-
A bodywork session will be offered by a certified professional with more information to come regarding the modality.
This is intended to provide additional care for your body as you process the impact of spiritual abuse.
-
We will have guided group practices, as well as individual practices, that will provide a structured way to grieve, rage, or process other emotions. These practices will give your mind, heart, and bodies concrete action to process the impact of spiritual abuse.
Examples could include chopping wood to process anger, burning hand-written letters to abusive systems, and marking thresholds.
