About Our Retreats
You Shouldn’t Have to Heal From Betrayal Alone
One of the hardest parts of betrayal trauma is the loneliness.
The feeling that your world has shattered while life keeps moving around you.
The exhaustion of carrying grief, confusion, hypervigilance, anger, and heartbreak often while still parenting, working, caretaking, and trying to appear “okay.”
Our retreats were created to break the silence and end the isolation that accompanies betrayal.
They are unique, experiential, deeply immersive, and fiercely intentional.
“Marnie and Maddie created an immediate atmosphere of safety. Being in the presence of other women who understand the complexities of betrayal was a powerful and healing experience that helped to lighten the burden of carrying this alone and created a true sisterhood. If you have the opportunity to give yourself this gift, I can’t recommend it highly enough.”
Meet Your Coaches
Led by Marnie Breecker and Maddie Corman, these retreats offer more than talking and psychoeducation. They offer the deeply healing experience of being with people who truly understand.
Women often tell us:
“I didn’t realize how alone I felt until I wasn’t anymore.”
Our retreats make space for the grief and the complexity of this journey, but also for moments of relief, laughter, beauty, rest, and even delight. Because healing cannot happen in survival mode alone.
Whether we are gathered by the ocean, on a cruise ship, or in a beautiful retreat space, you will leave feeling more connected to yourself, more supported by community, and reminded that your life is still yours to reclaim.

Our Retreat Experiences
Empowered on Land
Empowered on Land is an intimate in-person retreat for women navigating betrayal trauma.
Together, we create a space where you can exhale a little. A space where you do not have to over-explain your pain or minimize your experience to make others comfortable.
Through guided workshops, experiential exercises, group connection, and restorative practices, participants are supported in reconnecting with themselves while being surrounded by women who truly “get it.”
There is depth here. Honesty. Vulnerability. But also warmth, humor, nurturing, and moments of genuine joy.
This retreat is held in a beautiful restorative setting intentionally chosen to support nervous system regulation, reflection, rest, and connection.
Empowered at Sea
Empowered at Sea is a one-of-a-kind healing experience for women navigating betrayal trauma, held aboard a cruise ship.
There is something profoundly healing about stepping away from everyday life and being surrounded by women walking similar paths, women who understand the heartbreak, confusion, resilience, and courage this journey requires.
Our days together include guided support, workshops, processing, and integrative healing experiences. And alongside the meaningful work, there is also space for laughter over dinner, sunsets on deck, dancing, deep conversations, rest, and moments of unexpected delight.
Many women describe this retreat as life-changing, not because it “fixes” everything, but because it reminds them they are still alive, still worthy of connection, and no longer alone.
Journey to Integrity: A Transformation Men's Retreat
Journey to Integrity is a transformational retreat for men who are actively engaged in recovery and committed to living with greater honesty, accountability, and integrity.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Montauk, New York, this retreat offers the opportunity to leave behind the distractions of daily life and focus on your continued growth. Surrounded by the tranquility of the Montauk coastline, you’ll engage in coaching, reflection, experiential learning, and connection alongside a small group of men walking a similar path.

Couples Retreat
Anchored is a retreat designed for couples who are committed to rebuilding trust, strengthening connection, and continuing the work of healing together.
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll be with other couples who understand the challenges of this journey while participating in experiences designed to support meaningful connection, growth, and healing.
What Makes Our Retreats Different
We have fun alongside our pain. We laugh, and we cry, because wholeness requires both.
We focus on the body. Your nervous system gets a voice in how we heal. Designed for the real world. A retreat shouldn’t just be an experience where you feel great for a weekend and then crash the moment you get home. Every somatic tool, all the education, every deep conversation, every new insight, and every small decision is designed to integrate immediately and directly back into your daily life.
We aren’t building a temporary escape; we are building a permanent foundation.
They are about creating spaces where people feel emotionally safe enough to tell the truth, soften a little, breathe a little deeper, and remember they are human.
What makes these experiences different is not only the content but also the feeling.
- The feeling of being deeply understood.
- The feeling of being cared for.
- The feeling of laughing again after months or years of survival mode.
- The feeling of sitting beside someone who says, “Me too.”
Every detail of our retreats is created with intention, compassion, and lived understanding of betrayal trauma and relational healing.
And while the work can be profound, we also believe healing needs moments of beauty, nourishment, playfulness, and rest.
Because recovery is not only about surviving what happened.
It is also about reclaiming yourself.
Real People. Real Healing.
“The retreat offered something I could not find in therapy or support groups, a real face-to-face connection and deep understanding.”
“If you are looking for a retreat where you will feel loved seen, and supportive than I highly recommend attending.”
“I was hesitant as an introvert, but what I found was a circle of women who were courageous, honest, and open. I was able to be more vulnerable than I ever had been before.”
