Immersion Retreat

Renewing personal peace and harmony though art, music and nature Immersion Retreat is a nonprofit organization that conducts retreats, classes and workshops to help and inspire women in distress to rebuild their lives, to achieve empowerment and renew personal peace and harmony through art, music and nature. By utilizing art, music and nature as healing tools, Immersion Retreat is striving to offer a safe and stress free environment to women affected by and recovering from human trafficking, sexual and domestic violence, homelessness and cancer; women experiencing stress, life struggles and life controlling issues. Immersion Retreat is committed to providing excellent services, allowing the participants to become a thriving and appreciated member of the community, to achieve psycho-social balance and build relationships with other women in distress and with the community; to attain life in harmony with others and with nature. Art, music and nature are powerful tools that build confidence, increase self-awareness, elevate our mood and improve our outlook on life. Art engages both sides of the brain and allows us to process unresolved feelings and emotions. Appropriate music can result in increasing socialization and reducing anxiety, pain and depression. Spending time in nature can lead to cognitive benefits, such improvements in our abilities to think, lowering stress, improvements of mood and reducing disease or mortality. Creative expressions through art, music and nature allows for wounded hearts to heal in a safe and supportive environment at Immersion Retreat. We offer free of charge art and craft workshops as daily retreats (Mon – Fri, 9am-1pm) and mini retreats (Mon, Wed, Thu 5:30pm-7pm). The workshops include art and crafts projects, stress release activities, light exercises, urban hikes, urban gardening and meditations.
