Understanding, Healing, and Reclaiming Wholeness
At Phoenix Haven, we understand that trauma can take many forms—and that it doesn’t just affect the mind, but the body, spirit, and relationships too. Our trauma-informed retreats are designed to gently guide individuals through education, therapeutic healing, and connection, helping them reclaim strength and wholeness.
