I am honored to be invited to speak at the annual Saprea Fundraising Gala. The Saprea retreat was a life-changing experience for me and many other women.

RETREAT

Who qualifies to participate in the retreat?
Any adult woman who was sexually abused at or before age 18 is eligible to participate in the Saprea Retreat. Participants must be able to safely live in a social environment for four days with a group of other survivors and abstain from drugs and alcohol without withdrawals. The retreat is specifically designed to serve women who experienced trauma but who are functioning well across multiple areas in their lives.

The Saprea Retreat is not a crisis intervention program. We encourage women who are struggling with significant untreated mental health symptoms, active drug and alcohol addiction, or homelessness to seek professional help from other sources prior to applying.

How much does the retreat cost? Due to the generosity of our founders and donors, survivors participate in the Saprea Retreat for free (includes food, lodging, and services). Participants are responsible for travel to and from the pick-up locations for the in-person experience.

Where does the in-person portion of retreat take place?
We currently have two retreat locations, one in Utah County, Utah, and one in Dawson County, Georgia.

What if my abuse happened at age 18? Can I still apply?
Yes. Any adult woman who was sexually abused at or before age 18 is eligible to attend the Saprea Retreat.
