We believe in the fantastic power of gathering.
When you are in the presence of fellow moms of children with special needs, who “get you” with only a glance in the eyes, it is comforting and transformative.

A retreat is an opportunity for respite, rest and relaxation away from home, and away from the everyday world of motherhood. A time to connect with other moms of children with special needs and share stories, tears, laughter, and resources for self-care, family-care, and the Special Needs Journey.
We Are Brave Together aims to provide these retreats at low cost, thereby making them accessible for moms to have this much needed break.

2021-2022 Retreats Policies and Procedures
Registration is directly through the website wearebravetogether.com. WABT members will be notified via email and social media in advance when a retreat is open to sign up. Most likely, registration will open 2-3 months in advance. Once the spots are filled, then a waitlist begins. Individual registration and payment are what secures each attendee’s spot. If an attendee cancels, then a spot opens for another person to attend.
Alumni Registration
If you have attended a WABT retreat in the last year, we ask that you wait two days after the official registration date to sign up and receive an attendee spot. For example, registration for the Naples retreat is December 15th. Alumni must wait till 6 am Pacific time on December 17th to register.
Release Time/Date
The notification of the registration date will be sent out to members of WABT via email and will be posted again on social media 8-10 days in advance of the registration date.
Travel to/from Retreats
Attendees are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to get to and from the retreat locations.
Roommates
For hotels designated for retreats: Roommates are random unless your chosen specified roommate also signs up and secures a spot at the time of registration.
Please note: You do get to have your own bed at the hotel.
**If an attendee prefers to stay in their own preferred/chosen hotel, she is free to make her own arrangements; however, the fee to attend the retreat remains the same.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations made 30 days or more prior to the event will receive a 100% refund. Cancellations made between 29 and 15 days prior to the event will receive a 50% refund. Unfortunately, any cancellations made within 14 days prior to the event will not be refunded.
If COVID-19 safety procedures and state guidelines suddenly change and do not allow for WABT to conduct the retreat, all attendees will receive a full refund.
COVID-19
All participants will be required to complete a COVID-19 health screening questionnaire prior to traveling to the retreat, and a liability waiver and release upon arrival. We will follow COVID-19 safety procedures (e.g., wearing of masks, social distancing, etc.) based on the then-current local public health guidelines and/or as required by the venue of the retreat.
If you are interested in bringing a WABT Retreat to your city or region, please send an inquiry to wearebravetogether@gmail.com.
