What to Expect
Over five days and four nights (Wednesday through Sunday) the SHE RECOVERS Redefining Recovery Retreats – guided by trauma-informed practitioners with over 10 years each of experience facilitating women’s recovery retreats – will take place in Marble Falls, Texas (within an hour from the Austin airport).
We invite you to explore, amongst free ranging horses, the forty-six acre ranch nestled in the hill country of Austin, Texas. You can shake out the issues in your tissues with SHE RECOVERS Yoga & Dance, revel in playfulness and curiosity, take to the trails on foot or horseback, commune with goats, chickens, honey bees, and other farm animals, walk the meditation labyrinth, luxuriate in the plunge pools, hot tub, sauna, or simply lounge in a hammock. Rest and renew in nature. Nourish yourself with delicious food and good company, and share your heart fireside to other women who make you feel heard, seen, and supported. And, gather with like-hearted souls in ceremony with the intention to thrive in recovery.
The SHE RECOVERS Redefining Recovery retreats create endless possibilities for every woman.
Compassion Disclaimer
These recovery retreats are designed for women and non-binary individuals who are in or seeking recovery. Because our definition of recovery is inclusive of all life challenges, this includes recovering from mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, codependency, overworking, grief, loss, self-injurious behavior, chronic illness, disordered eating, process addictions and substance use. Out of compassion and respect for these folks, all of the SHE RECOVERS retreats are alcohol and drug free. Use of these substances is not permitted while attending our retreats.
