Heal, Grow, and Transform
This retreat is an immersive experience that offers a unique opportunity to heal, grow, and transform.
Attending the Rising Strong Retreat will help you rebuild and overcome the negative impact of narcissistic abuse and trauma on your life.
We understand that these experiences can have a profound effect on your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
This retreat provides a safe and supportive environment for you to process your emotions, gain clarity and insight, and develop strategies for moving forward.
Have you broken free from your abuser, free from the grips of a trauma bond, but are left feeling unsure of how this happened, who you are, and how to not let this happen again?
Many women in these situations feel isolated and alone, but this retreat offers a chance to connect with others who have been through similar experiences. You will have the opportunity to build a community of supportive women who understand what you are going through.
If you have children with your abuser, we understand how complex and challenging this situation can be. We will provide a safe space for you to share your experiences and receive support from others who have been in your shoes.
If you have experienced narcissistic abuse and are feeling unsure of yourself and your identity, the Rising Strong Retreat is for you.

Testimonials About Your Hosts
On Lisa Sonni:
"I had been struggling for several months on my own to move forward from rumination about my ex and the relationship and my fears dating again.
Lisa was personable and trustworthy. She distills interpersonal, social, and studied knowledge about abusive relationships and how to heal from their effects. Lisa's infectious bravery and resolute attitude are what I needed to help shake thoughts that were holding me back and move forward with confidence."
On Kerry McAvoy:
"Kerry came into my life when I felt helpless, hopeless & eternally alone. She made me feel understood & validated instead of crazy. After working through her cognitive dissonance course, I regained my sense of self and have found a new purpose. Her expertise & vulnerability has helped me turn my life around. I’m thankful for her bright light."
On Rossana Faye:
"I met Rosanna when I was depressed, so lonely, so lost, felt like I had no identity anymore. I didn’t recognize myself or know who I was or who I wanted to be. I was at my most vulnerable and I was scared I’d never feel “normal” again... never be “me” again. I was just learning about what narcissistic abuse was and ruminating ALL THE TIME!! Like a loop over and over that I couldn’t get to stop. I felt crazy. She helped get me to this journey back to me. Ro doesn’t save you, she helps you want to save yourself."
