Confessional Community Retreat

Enter a Sacred Space of Story, Safety, and Healing—Online

Join us for a transformative three-day Confessional Community Retreat, grounded in the work of Dr. Curt Thompson. From the comfort of your home, you (along with just 7 others) will engage in meaningful practices of storytelling, emotional awareness, and connection—designed to reduce shame and increase your capacity for joy, courage, and relational depth.

July 18–20, 2025 | Online via Zoom

This retreat is for anyone longing to be known more fully and to take the next step in their healing journey. Together, we will create a safe, intentional space where shame loses its grip and your story is met with kindness.

During this retreat, you will:

  • Share Your Story in a Safe Community: Step into a space where your story is honored and welcomed without judgment.

  • Practice Confessional Community: Experience the healing that comes from being truly known and seen by others.

  • Reduce Shame: Through guided reflection and connection, begin to name shame’s voice and loosen its hold on your life.

  • Feel Emotionally Held: Explore your emotional world in a community that offers deep empathy and care.

  • Grow in Emotional Awareness: Develop tools to identify, name, and navigate your emotions with greater clarity and compassion.

  • Strengthen Relational Courage: Practice authentic connection that fosters trust, intimacy, and resilience.

  • Clarify Your Next Step: Gain insight into where you are in your story and what a meaningful next step might look like.

This retreat is not just an event—it’s an experience of healing and connection with others who are committed to becoming more whole, honest, and alive.
