Healing: Hurdling to wellness

Healing was the theme of our recently concluded Leaders' Experience Retreat that CivSource Africa was privileged to host with Rights 4 Her. Rights 4 Her is a women lead organization whose mission is to provide and promote sustainable solutions that will help improve the well being of all Lesbian, Bisexual, Queer and Transgender persons through advocacy, research, documentation, and capacity building.  Co-hosting a Mopane` retreat with Rights 4 Her was a reaffirmation of the need to take care of leaders.

The retreat was set up to aid learning, healing, and rejuvenation for the 12 leaders that attended. The retreat touched on various areas including organizational wellness, love, self-awareness, financial resilience, and healing in leadership. The retreat also addressed issues of agency, power, identity, values, networking, and movement building. The retreat was indeed a life-changing moment for the participants.

We are grateful that through the retreat process, the leaders reported that they were able to smile again, laugh, discover self, and release all the negative and toxic energies they had held for a while. The participants also celebrated the fact that they bonded freely and felt loved and cared for during the retreat. We are committed to contributing to the wellness of leaders through the Leaders’ Experience Retreat.
