Spiritual Practices for Traumatic Times

We are living in difficult times. What we are living through, what we are coping with, what we are struggling to endure: all this weighs heavy on our hearts and our bodies. Time for retreat isn't a luxury anymore, it's a necessity.

At SpiritRest, our retreat experience is designed to strengthen your skills of settling your body. As one retreatant told us at the end of the retreat week, "I came in a brain and left in a body."

When your body is settled you are better prepared to respond with clarity and purpose to life’s challenging realities.


Our retreat is deeply informed by Resmaa Menakem's book My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. All retreatants will recieve a copy of this book.
