Fall 2024 + Spring 2025 : NOW BOOKING

Camp Discovery - Cumby, Texas

*When purchasing ticket, please include your name and desired date of attendance.


THERAPISTS + SURVIVOR SUPPORT PEOPLE:

Healers are a powerful archetype that provide space of integrity, comfort, and love to those seeking solace from trauma and violence. But.. who heals the healer?

Are you a SURVIVOR SUPPORT PERSON? A case manager? Advocate? Mental health clinician? Educator? Front desk staff person of a survivor organization or practice?

Regardless if you are a staff of 1 or 10, front line responders of sexual & relationship violence experience high rates of vicarious trauma, stress, anxiety and ultimately burn out. This retreat is intentionally designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, & soul, while implementing mindfulness practices to release tension & increase self-awareness.

This retreat is open to both individual Survivor Support Person or a Survivor Support Organization. If you are a solopreneur and/or know other Survivor Support People/Therapists that would benefit from coming together in a setting like this, please reach out to us. Email us at jessica@thehealingcollectivedfw.com

*When purchasing ticket, please include your name and desired date of attendance.

Camp Discovery TX- Cumby, TX:

Camp Discovery is a 40 acre family ran campground in Cumby, Texas owned by Edder and Annette Murillo. Their vision began in 2020 when they moved from Southern California to the Dallas area with their then 4 month old. The idea was to bring to life a place where families, friends, and groups can come together and discover deeper parts of themselves through nature deep conversations, and sharing in fun activites together.

Camp Discovery currently has two camping style restrooms, a 14 person custom made farm table, 2 suspended decks, 2 glamping tents, 2 modern mini cabins, and fire pits.
