Some days it feels like everyone around us is quietly carrying something heavy.
The mom who hasn't slept because her child is struggling. The teen smiling at school but fighting anxiety inside. The teacher pouring from an empty cup. The neighbor who looks "fine"... but isn't.

So many of us are surviving, not thriving.

That's exactly why we created the We Understand You Summit.

A safe space to breathe.

To learn how trauma and stress actually live in the body.

To experience tools for calming your emotions and nervous systems. To create, connect, cry if you need to, and remember... you're not broken. You're human and deserve support

This weekend is for:

Families
Teens
Educators
Helpers
Anyone who's tired of carrying it all by themselves.

If you heart has been feeling heavy lately, maybe this space was made for you.

The We Understand You Summit is a trauma informed conference and healing retreat focused on connection, education, and emotional well-being in a safe, supportive environment for trauma survivors, families, educators, and professionals.

02/04/2026

You don’t have to heal alone anymore.

For so many of us, life has felt like survival mode.
Smiling on the outside.
Exhausted on the inside.
Carrying trauma, stress, anxiety, or stories no one else ever sees.

This weekend is different.

At We Understand You Summit, we’re creating something rare and sacred — a safe, compassionate space where survivors, families, educators, teens, helpers, and professionals come together to breathe, learn, and finally feel understood.

Not just another conference.
Not just lectures.
Not just information.

This is real, body-based healing.

You’ll experience:
✔️ Nervous system & somatic regulation workshops
✔️Healing Modalities like Therapeutic Art, Breathwork, Boxing, Journaling, Waltzing, Drumming
✔️ Trauma-informed education you can actually use
✔️Breakouts for adults and adolescents
✔️Connection circles + community support
✔️ Meals, laughter, tears, and moments that change you

Because trauma doesn’t just live in the mind — it lives in the body.

And healing should too.
Whether you’re:
• a survivor longing for relief
• a parent trying to help your child
• an educator or pastor supporting others
• or someone simply tired of carrying it all alone

You belong here.

Walk in overwhelmed.
Leave grounded, connected, and hopeful.

Come as you are.
Leave lighter.

🎟 Tickets are limited — reserve your seat and join us for a weekend that could change everything.

Some people don’t need another conference.
They need a place where they can finally exhale.

A place where they don’t have to explain their trauma.
Where their nervous system feels safe.
Where healing is hands-on, creative, and real.

That’s why we created the We Understand You Summit.

Not just speakers.
Not just information.
But experiences.

✌️Therapeutic Art sessions ♥️Nervous system & body-based workshops
✅️Tools for anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm
💛 Safe conversations for survivors, families, teens, educators, and helpers
♥️ A community that truly gets it

Because healing isn’t meant to happen alone.
And you’re not broken — your body just learned how to survive.

If you’re tired of just coping…
If you’re ready to feel hopeful again…
If you want practical tools you can actually use…

This weekend is for you.

Come sit with us.
Learn with us.

Draw with Gina BEFORE the summit.

Through a guided NeuroSomatic Art process, you’ll explore the image of a river as a reflection of what’s filling and shaping your life. Using simple, intuitive drawing, you’ll place yourself within the water — allowing your body, not your mind, to lead. Later, you’ll gently reflect on what your drawing reveals about where you are and where you want to go.

Register in advance for this meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BNVpdB1iRuWxAkuE2cBYZQ

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Participants will use intuitive drawing to explore a symbolic river representing life’s demands and emotional energy, discovering where they naturally stand and what it reveals about their current season.

This is not just another conference on your calendar.

This is a place to breathe.
A place to lay down the weight you’ve been carrying.
A place where people finally feel seen, supported, and understood.

Created for trauma survivors, families, adolescents, educators, pastoral staff, and helping professionals, this summit brings together both those who are healing… and those who are called to help others heal.

Because the truth is —
you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Yes, you’ll gain powerful education and practical skills you can immediately use in your home, classroom, office, or ministry.

But this weekend offers something deeper than information.

It offers connection.
Rest.
Understanding.
Hope.

Through trauma-informed teaching, somatic and creative practices like NeuroSomatic Art, hands-on workshops, and honest conversations, you’ll learn how the brain and body carry stress — and how healing truly happens.

Not by pushing harder.
But by finally feeling safe enough to soften.

Whether you’re coming to support your own healing…
to better serve your students or clients…
to guide your family…
or to strengthen your church or community…

You belong here.

Because no one should have to do this work alone.

We would be honored to welcome you.

Join us for a weekend of restoration, growth, and practical tools that change lives — including yours.

Your seat is waiting.

You’re not overwhelmed because you’re weak.
You’re overwhelmed because you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

Anxiety. Trauma. Burnout. Emotional exhaustion.
So many of us are surviving quietly—smiling on the outside while our nervous systems are in overdrive on the inside.

The We Understand You Summit was created for real people who are tired of pretending they’re okay.

This isn’t just another event.
It’s a space to feel seen, to learn how your body and nervous system actually work, and to experience tools that help you regulate, release, and reconnect—for both adults and teens.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t feel like myself anymore,” “I’m always on edge,”
or “I just want to feel safe in my own body again”

This space was made for you.

You don’t have to do this alone.
We understand you.

Can you relate?!?

As I look at this tree, I see a dysregulated nervous system.
Branches reaching in every direction. Intersections crossing and rubbing against one another—creating friction, chaos, and internal conflict.

When those sharp intersections are rounded, everything changes.
The edges soften.
The system appears calmer, more integrated, more at ease.

We often do the opposite within ourselves. Instead of smoothing everything out (healing),
We cover our chaos and conflict with disguises—just like this tree in spring.
When the leaves bloom and fill in, the bare structure disappears.
What’s tangled underneath is no longer visible.

But covering is not the same as healing.

Avoidance is not transformation.
True regulation doesn’t hide the intersections—it smooths them.
It brings compassion, integration, and safety to the places that once felt sharp, overwhelming, or at war within us.

At our weekend retreat style summit, you will learn various methods to calm down and regulate your nervous system. Hands-on demonstrations to help in those difficult moments. Education to boost your knowledge and understanding as to why its happening and what is happening inside the body.

We are losing our kids.

And too many adults are silently drowning right beside them.

Anxiety is no longer rare.
Depression isn’t “just a phase.”
Su***de rates are rising—and social media is quietly rewiring our kids’ nervous systems to live in comparison, pressure, and survival mode.

And here’s the part that hurts the most…
So many teens don’t feel understood.
So many adults don’t know how to help—because they were never taught how to regulate their own nervous systems either.

We tell kids to “just breathe.”
We tell adults to “stay strong.”
But no one teaches what’s actually happening inside the body when trauma, stress, and constant digital noise take over.

That’s why we created the We Understand You Retreat Summit.

This is not just a conference.
It’s a safe, trauma-informed space for adults and adolescents to
finally feel seen, heard, and supported.

Education that explains mental health and trauma in a way that removes shame
Creative and somatic tools that help the nervous system calm—not shut down
Separate healing paths for teens and adults
Community that reminds you: you are not alone

This weekend exists because mental health isn’t just about talking—it’s about feeling safe in your body again.

If you’re a parent who feels scared for your child.
If you’re an adult who is exhausted from holding it all together.
If you’ve ever thought, “Someone needs to do something…”

This is that something.

Tickets are now available, and space is intentionally limited to keep this retreat safe and supportive.

👉 Join us. Bring your teen. Bring yourself.
Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation—and neither should we.
