Resilient Retreat is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on helping those impacted by trauma, specifically adult survivors of abuse (e.g., domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse, sex trafficking, stalking) and first responders/helping professionals that witness the effects of violence in the workplace (e.g., advocates, medical professionals, police officers). We offer free interdisciplinary programs focused on healing the entire person and connecting participants with a community that has faced similar experiences.
In 2019, Resilient Retreat was gifted 84 acres on Fruitville Road in Sarasota, Florida. Our vision was to utilize our beautiful property as a respite, a place where survivors of abuse and first responders/helping professionals throughout the United States can go for trauma retreats.
Resilient Retreat recently opened a 18,000 sq ft Retreat Center that can accommodate up to 30 individuals to attend 1-3 day evidence-based retreats. Treatment rooms flank a community kitchen, great room, and dining room. Outdoor spaces include spacious porches, loggias, walking paths, a community garden, and a meditation pond. In addition, a 5,000 sq ft Community center provides two flexible rooms for 15-30 people for activities like support groups, music therapy, art therapy, and exercise classes.
