Welcome to our Mindfulness and Fishing 3-day Retreat at the River Resort in Monticello, Indiana, USA. We understand that life can be challenging, and sometimes we carry the burden of others’ traumas with us. This is why we have created a therapeutic fishing retreat specifically designed to address vicarious trauma.

Why Indiana? The River Resort is located in the heart of Indiana, surrounded by beautiful rivers and lakes that provide ample fishing opportunities. Our retreat center is equipped with all the amenities you need to relax and rejuvenate, including cozy accommodations, delicious meals, and a peaceful environment that will soothe your soul.

Our focus on vicarious trauma begins from the moment you arrive. Our experienced and licensed clinical therapists will lead daily group therapy sessions that will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to share and process any vicarious trauma you may have experienced. Each session will be designed to help you understand and manage your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to vicarious trauma.
