Welcome to the second retreat of our Summer Healing Retreat Series, where we invite you to embark on a transformative journey of healing and renewal in July at The Glen. This second retreat in our summer series focuses on transforming trauma, offering a safe and supportive space for participants to explore healing from life's adversities and traumas. 

At the Transforming Trauma retreat, we will delve deep into the process of healing, resilience, and empowerment over the course of three enriching days. Through immersive workshops, therapeutic-style activities, and reflective practices, Steven will guide you on a path towards reclaiming your strength and embracing your transformative potential. 

Our all-inclusive retreat series provides a nurturing environment for mental health wellness and relaxation. Indulge in nourishing meals, refreshing mocktails, and ample time for personal reflection amidst the serene surroundings at Durward's Glen Retreat Center.  

Join us as we journey together towards healing and renewal, finding solace, support, and guidance every step of the way. Your transformative journey begins here.
