Format:
This 4 day, 3 night retreat will explore how untreated and unresolved early trauma almost always develops into addiction. This workshop will be limited to 8 to 10 women (using pronouns she/her)who identify as a sex and love addict. This will be a very intense weekend. Michael S., a 37 year member of the S.L.A.A. Fellowship will be working with you as you uncover and release trauma and healing the body and mind. Michael has participated in and received training in this method of healing. He will be guiding you in the emotional release work throughout the weekend ensuring safety and comfort. He has also held mini workshops at the GDVI Spring retreat for the last three years. Melissa K., a member with 19 years of recovery in S.L.A.A. will be there as a support to the women during non sessions and during the 12 step meetings.
