Day Retreat: Journey with Tamar
About: We invite survivors to join us for a day of reflection, connection and education. You are not alone! The day will include education about the impact of trauma, common symptoms, and tools for managing stressful emotions. We will examine the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible story of Tamar, daughter of King David who was raped by her brother. Tamar’s story includes abuse of power, shaming and silencing of survivors, and the ripple effect sexual violence has on the family and broader community. We will also look at how the expectation of forgiveness can be difficult for survivors, as well as discuss what healing looks like. All adult survivors of child sexual abuse are welcome, whatever stage you are in your journey. Fee: Free.
