ODVN – Renew and Restore: Mitigating Vicarious Trauma Using Expressive Arts and Wellness Practices

Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network

Come and join Sonia Ferencik at ODVN’s annual in-person retreat at Highbanks MetroParks. Advocates will immerse themselves in guided imagery, art-based expression, and somatic practices, all while connecting with peers in the healing presence of community and nature. This retreat offers a chance to pause, reflect, and honor the vital work you do, releasing the toll of vicarious trauma, fostering resilience, self-care, and collective support in a nurturing, uplifting environment designed to recharge both heart and spirit.  Lunch and light breakfast snacks will be provided. Please bring drinks, and you are encouraged to bring snacks along with blankets, mats, markers, and DRESS comfortably for nature walks, movement, and being comfortable.

Cost: Free for members (DV member program, Organizational, Individual); $50 for non-members

Registration ends June 10th.
