RISE

A Retreat for Women Breaking Free from Emotional Abuse

March 13–14, 2026 

YOUR TRUTH

You didn't just survive. You fought your way out.

The paperwork is signed. The battles are (mostly) behind you. But late at night, when the house is quiet, you still feel it—

That knot in your stomach when you second-guess a decision.

That hypervigilance that won’t quite turn off.

That voice asking: “Will I ever feel like myself again?”

Here’s what I know about you: You’re stronger than you’ve ever been given credit for. You walked through fire. You protected your children. You chose freedom over familiarity, even when it terrified you.

But surviving and thriving are two different things.

You don’t just want to “get through this.” You want to wake up feeling safe in your own skin. To trust yourself again. To make decisions with confidence instead of fear. To finally exhale.

That’s exactly what RISE will give you.

DIFFERENT

This Isn’t Another “Self-Care Sunday” Workshop

You’ve already tried the affirmations, the bath bombs, the well-meaning advice from people who’ve never walked in your shoes.

This retreat is different.

Over two days, you’ll work with expert guides who specialize in high-conflict divorce, trauma recovery, and nervous system healing. You’ll gain the practical strategies you need right now—legal protection, financial clarity, documentation tactics—alongside the deep, body-level healing that finally allows you to release the past.

Rise meets you where you are: 
Raw, exhausted, determined, and ready.

TRANSFORMATION

What You’ll Walk Away With

This isn’t just about feeling better for a couple of days. This is about transformation that lasts.

By Saturday evening, you’ll have:

01

Crystal Clear Strategy

A personalized safety plan covering legal protection, financial security, and co-parenting boundaries—so you can finally stop feeling three steps behind.

02

Nervous System Healing

Somatic practices that help your body release years of hyper-vigilance, so you can feel calm, grounded, and present in your own life.

03

Rebuilt Self-Trust

Tools to reconnect with your intuition and make decisions with confidence—no more second-guessing yourself into paralysis.

04

Your 6-Month Roadmap

A clear, personalized plan for the next chapter of your life—because “just surviving” is no longer enough.

05

A Community That Gets It

Connection with women who understand exactly what you’ve been through—no explanations, no judgment, just deep recognition.

 

You’ll leave knowing, bone-deep: “I didn’t just survive. I’m becoming who I was always meant to be.”

Your Transformation Over Two Days

DAY ONE

Friday, March 13

See Clearly. Build Safety. Reclaim Your Ground.

The fog is lifting. You’re ready to see the patterns that kept you trapped and build a foundation of real, lasting safety.

Morning Session

Understanding What Happened to You

Identifying Patterns of Abuse & Coercive Control
with Kate Anthony

Gaslighting. Stonewalling. The reality distortions that made you question your own sanity. You’ll learn to name what happened to you, understand the dynamics that kept you small, and map the “reality bubble” you’re finally breaking free from.

Legal & Financial Strategy: Protecting Yourself & Your Children
with Attorney Renée Bauer

Documentation that holds up in court. Strategic financial planning. How to protect your assets and your children without escalating conflict. Renée brings 20+ years of family law expertise to help you navigate the system with clarity and confidence.

Afternoon Session

Protect & Release

Safeguarding Children in High-Conflict Situations
with Kate Anthony

How do you protect your children’s emotional wellbeing when co-parenting with someone who undermines you? Learn to communicate strategically, document without drama, and create stability for your kids amidst chaos.

Somatic Workshop: Releasing Survival Mode from Your Body
with Expert Trauma-Informed Facilitator

Your body has been in fight-or-flight for so long, it forgot what safety feels like. Through breathwork, grounding techniques, and gentle movement, you’ll help your nervous system release what it’s been holding—so you can finally rest.

DAY TWO

Saturday, March 14

Heal Deeply. Reclaim Power.
Rise.

You’ve built your foundation. Now it’s time to step into the woman you’re becoming—whole, powerful, and free.

Morning Session

Reclaiming What's Yours

The Neuroscience of Healing from Relationship Trauma
with Dr. Amelia Kelley, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Understand what trauma does to your brain and body—and more importantly, how to restore emotional regulation and safety. Dr. Kelley bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with practical, compassionate tools for healing.

Rebuilding Self-Trust After Gaslighting
with Kate Anthony

Years of being told you’re “too sensitive,” “overreacting,” or “crazy” don’t disappear overnight. You’ll learn to reconnect with your intuition, trust your perceptions, and make decisions from a place of inner knowing instead of fear.

Afternoon Session

Designing Your Sovereign Life

From Surviving to Thriving: Your Next Chapter Blueprint
with Kate Anthony

What does sovereignty actually look like in your life? You’ll create your personal 6-month roadmap—setting intentions, identifying resources, and designing a life that finally feels like yours.

Embodied Liberation: Somatic Healing Circle
with Expert Trauma-Informed Facilitator

Through movement, breath, and guided reflection, you’ll integrate everything you’ve learned. This isn’t just intellectual understanding—this is healing that lives in your body.

Closing Ceremony: Your Rising
with Kate Anthony

A sacred ritual of release and renewal. You’ll honor the woman you’ve been, release what no longer serves you, and step fully into your next beginning.

The Question Isn’t “Am I Ready?”

The question is: How much longer are you willing to wait?

Every day you spend in survival mode is a day stolen from the life you deserve. Every night you lie awake second-guessing yourself is another night you give away your power.

You’ve already done the hardest part—you got out.

 

Now it’s time to do what comes next: Rise.

You’ve Already Proven Your Strength. Now Let’s Turn It Into Sovereignty.
