Attendance is limited to one retreat per calendar year.
I am a Black person or a Person of Color. Which retreat do I attend?
We have designated some retreats specifically for Black people and some specifically for People of Color to create space for shared experience as it relates to race and ethnicity.
Our general Healing for the Healer retreats can be attended by people of any race or ethnicity who work at a nonprofit in Middle Tennessee.
We trust our attendees to self-identify which retreat they would like to attend.
Registration
How much does it cost to attend?
Retreats are free to attendees, although it does cost The Trust about $175 per participant.
We happily offer these retreats, and kindly request you let us know if you need to cancel your registration so we can invite someone from our waitlist to attend.
Can I register my entire staff for a retreat?
