Who: Trans youth who are in middle school, high school or just graduated.
What will we be doing: We have a lot planned but part of the planning includes built in downtime. We’ve worked hard to try to balance the amount of new information we’ll be giving you about gender, mental health, art and games with free, unstructured time to spend with your new friends (and yes - you will absolutely make new friends).
Some of the workshops include: gender euphoria, medical transition, self-care, anxiety management, social and communication skills, the art and skill of skin care, boundary setting and holding - and other nerdy things that therapists like to talk about.
Where: We’ll be at Brooks Memorial State Park. We can get you out there in event sponsored transportation, OR you can get yourself out there.
Cost: $400 per person. Payment plans, and limited scholarship opportunities are available.
Why: We love retreats! They’re intense, but leave a long lasting impression. You get the chance to do a lot of growing in a short time. And the best part is EVERYONE who comes leaves with more friends than they arrived with. And the friendships hold up.
If you have any other logistical questions about the retreat, we encourage you to first look over the registration form - it has lots of information. If you still have questions, email us at info@wildheartsociety.org, or if you’re a client at Wild Heart, ask your therapist.
