In addition to the Young Adult Summit, we had another incredible group of survivors join us in Cambria for our annual Adult Retreat. Since the weekend coincided with Valentine’s Day, we centered the theme around the eight different types of Greek love. We had the privilege of hosting thirty adult burn survivors, creating an opportunity for connection and empowerment. The weekend featured powerful workshops, including speed conversations to enhance communication skills, exploring the various types of relationships we navigate, shadow work, vulnerability, setting boundaries, and addressing heartbreak, grief, and loss. The group also enjoyed a trip to the beach, soaking in the beautiful weather together. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this weekend, we are already looking forward to next year.
A huge thank you to the BC Professional Fire Fighter’s Burn Fund and the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance for making the journey to California and joining us for such a special weekend.
This weekend would not have been possible without the dedication of our incredible core volunteers: Cindy, Wendy, Jill, Lea, Kevin, and Daniel. Thank you for your time and passion for our burn community.
