Meditation Retreat 2019
On June 25th 2019 Cumberland Women’s Health Centre ran a Meditation Retreat at Parramatta Lake Reserve for 15 disadvantage women with complex trauma resulted from experiences of domestic and family violence, sexual assault and childhood abuse.
The Meditation Retreat aimed to provide safe and relaxing space for traumatized women:
To take a break from daily life challenges
To get in touch with themselves
To learn skills to help them relax and manage their stress and anxiety level.
To feel supported in the company of other women who have had similar experiences, and break their social isolation
To express themselves and to reflect on their lives.
Khadine Aharon an accredited social worker, EFT Tapping Practitioner and CWHC Meditation teacher facilitated the Retreat workshops - drumming meditation and colour art therapy. The feedback from Retreat attendees was overwhelmingly positive and we hope to be able to provide events like this in the future!
This Retreat was made possible due to the generous donation from Sisters of Mercy Parramatta. We graciously thank then for their continued support.
