We believe in the fantastic power of gathering.
When you are in the presence of fellow Special Needs Moms, 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 Special Needs Moms 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.
Retreats will be planned each year; one in Southern California, one outside of California.
