The Journey Back to Yourself – A Sobriety Retreat for Women

Palmaïa – The House of AïA

When we struggle with an alcohol problem we leave ourselves by degrees. One day, we wake up and we realize we have become someone we don’t recognize. As women, we abandon ourselves. This retreat is about reclaiming who you are.

Getting sober is 10% not drinking alcohol and 90% emotional sobriety.

Emotional Sobriety is when we finally feel comfortable in our own skin and we like ourselves again. It’s when we can balance and manage our emotions without alcohol.

What sets this retreat apart is its focus on emotional sobriety. It’s not just about stopping drinking; it’s about deepening your emotional well-being. Here, you will find the time, space, and support you need to continue your journey to who you are meant to be.

This retreat is for women :

  • On a Sober Journey : Whether you are just beginning your sober journey or have been sober for years, this retreat is designed to support women at all stages. We believe that every woman’s path to sobriety is unique, and our retreat offers personalized experiences to meet you where you are.
  • Seeking Community : Building connections with other women who understand your journey is invaluable. This retreat provides a safe and nurturing environment where you can form genuine, supportive relationships. You’ll find a community that will uplift and encourage you long after the retreat ends.
  • Seeking Healing and Rejuvenation : This retreat focuses on both emotional and physical well-being. Through various workshops, activities, and relaxation techniques, you’ll have the opportunity to heal and rejuvenate. This is your time to focus on yourself, re-energize, and return home feeling refreshed and empowered.

“I came hopeful and ready for the changes I had been desiring for so long in my life. I was nervous because I had never “really” shared my “true” feelings with a group. I however, came in with a sense of trust, believing that Veronica and this opportunity, were answers to many prayers. Veronica is gifted and compassionate at helping us to our truest best self; as we do the deep necessary work with her. Our retreat team left with genuine bonds and the promise of continued support to eliminate our former isolations!”

- Tammie

{
“I think the best way to describe my experience was a transformation in my perception. I went in feeling nervous and apprehensive, thinking there was no way I could have as many sober days as the rest of the group, but walked away feeling connected and ready to trust the process. It was an emotional tipping point.”

- Kaitlyn
