Summer Retreat

Awake hosted our first in-person gathering for abuse survivors from all over the country in July 2023 at Cedar Valley Retreat Center in West Bend, Wisconsin, just north of Milwaukee; 17 survivors from 11 states joined us for this transformative experience of community and support.

Our second annual retreat, taking place July 26 – 28, 2024 in West Bend, Wisconsin, is already full with 24 women and men registered. If you have experienced sexual abuse by a Catholic leader and would like to be informed if a spot becomes available, please email Survivor Care Coordinator Esther Harber at estherharber@awakecommunity.org.
