A New Christian Healing Retreat for Betrayal Trauma: What to Expect During 3 Transformative Days

There’s a kind of heartbreak that doesn’t just weigh on your mind—it settles deep into your body and spirit. When trust is shattered by infidelity, secrecy, or deception, the pain that follows can be all-consuming. This is betrayal trauma—a deep emotional and spiritual wound that can shake your sense of identity, security, and even your connection with God.

But here’s what’s also true:         

💛 Betrayal does not define you.
💛 You are not alone.
💛 And healing is absolutely possible.

What you’re feeling makes sense. And even if it feels heavy right now, there is a way forward—a path that honors both your pain and your hope.

A One-of-a-Kind Christian Healing Retreat for Betrayal Trauma

Healing from betrayal trauma doesn’t have to take years to begin—and it doesn’t have to take years to ease the pain.

In the right setting—one that is safe, faith-filled, grounded in neuroscience, and trauma-informed—you can experience accelerated, real, and meaningful healing in just a few days.

S.O.A.R., a three–day Christian healing retreat for betrayal trauma, is designed for women who are carrying the deep wounds of betrayal. Set in a peaceful and restorative environment, the retreat is led by two experienced, trauma-informed Christian professionals—one a licensed therapist and the other a certified coach—both deeply attuned to the emotional and spiritual anguish from betrayal. Together, they hold space with compassion, wisdom, and a deep understanding of both spiritual and emotional trauma.

You’ll receive personalized support within a small group of women who understand the unique grief and isolation that betrayal brings. Through evidence-based practices like  EMDR therapy and Brainspotting, your healing experience is tailored to your pace and comfort level.

There are powerful realizations that arise during a woman’s time with us:

“I Didn’t Realize How Unsafe I Felt…Until I Felt Safe”

When your nervous system has been in survival mode for so long, it’s easy to forget what peace feels like. This retreat isn’t just about emotional healing—it’s about nervous system restoration and creating space for deep rest.

This trauma-focused, Christ-centered setting offers:

✨ A holistic space for mind, body and spirit
✨ Calming techniques and collaborative healing
✨ Bilateral music for nervous system regulation
✨ Gentle movement
✨ A pace that honors your body’s need to breathe and reset

Throughout the experience, you’ll be given choices—because healing begins with agency. Your boundaries are respected. Your voice is welcomed. Your presence is enough.

You don’t have to share your story unless you want to. There’s no pressure to perform. Just permission to be where you are.

“Jesus Was Part of Everything Here—And It Changed the Way I Experienced My Healing”

The impact of betrayal trauma runs deep—it doesn’t just affect your relationship, but can leave you spiritually disoriented, angry, numb or quietly wondering if God has forgotten you altogether. Sometimes, well-meaning advice, encouragement, or spiritual disciplines can feel like makeshift solutions: they might offer brief comfort, but they rarely reach the deeper places where the pain lives.

This retreat offers something different.

Here, we honor the depth of your experience. We don’t bypass your grief and trauma or try to rush you toward resolution. You are invited to bring your grief, your doubts, your weariness, and your questions, just as they are all while asking Jesus to be the very center of the process.

And in that vulnerability, many women encounter something unexpected: a Jesus who is not distant, but right there in the middle of it all.

He is gentle. He is present. He grieves with you and is tender with your wounds. And, He lovingly leads you toward restoration.

“We laughed, we cried, we carried each other through.”

Some women arrive at this healing retreat feeling hesitant about the group setting—and that’s completely understandable. Betrayal often brings a heavy sense of shame and isolation. It creates fears of judgment and can leave you feeling like no one else could possibly understand what you are carrying.

That’s what makes the group experience so healing:

💞 You are guided toward connection and witness transparency 
💞 You are free to share as much, or as little, as what feels right 
💞 You are surrounded by women who get it
💞 You begin to realize something powerful: you are not alone

This is a trauma-informed, faith-sensitive space where you are respected and your story is held with care. And, the sense of connection you build here?…It often becomes a lasting source of strength.

“I thought it would be overwhelming. But it was so thoughtfully led.”

Yes, three days may not sound like much. And yes, the work is deep. It can be intense. But the pace is intentional, the environment is safe and the support constant. Each element—from the therapeutic modalities to the rhythm of rest—is designed to honor your boundaries and your healing.

Whether you’re engaging in EMDR, Brainspotting, workshops, or considerately guided group discussions, we are consistently attuned to your needs and process. If deeper work stirs something tender, optional one-on-one support is available to help you stay centered and cared for no matter what time of day.

This isn’t about pushing you to “move on”—it’s about walking with you as you reclaim your voice, your faith, and your sense of safety.

“They thought of everything. I felt seen before I even said a word.”

When you’ve been in survival mode, being nurtured can feel unfamiliar—sometimes even uncomfortable. But the thoughtful details of this retreat are part of the healing process:

🌸 Cozy, peaceful spaces that invite rest
🌸 Nourishing food and beverages available throughout the day
🌸 Thoughtfully curated goodie bags with tools for during and after the retreat
🌸 Subtle, steady reminders that you matter—just as you are

These simple offerings aren’t extras. They are intentional gestures designed to communicate a truth your soul may have forgotten: You don’t have to earn love. You are already loved.

“I still have work to do, but I’m not carrying it all alone anymore.”

As you prepare to return home, you won’t leave empty-handed. You’ll leave with:

🧩 Tools to support your continued healing—practical, personal, and powerful
🧩 A deepened connection to your faith and spiritual identity
🧩 Support from a compassionate community of women who truly understand
🧩 A renewed sense of self—rooted in strength, not defined by betrayal

The transformational work you’ve done here, paired with post-retreat follow-up care from both of our experienced professionals, will ensure that you’re supported every step of the way.

This healing retreat equips you with therapeutic support and deeper spiritual truths that remind you of your identity in Christ. Healing doesn’t stop when the retreat ends—it continues, with clarity, tools, and hope.
