I’m seeking a place to be and heal from sexual trauma with the support of grounded women. Does this exsist? A women only forest refuge for healing? Thank you so much, Ruby ---

yes, as above - many woman only communities (& networks ie not landed but into ‘repair’/recovery). The ic.s are diverse - rural, urban, strict healing, general female support, specific issues, etc. I think **U have a great idea** in this as ur healing source - as we may B injured alone /but/ we heal w/thru others (not alone). FIC has a directory of ic.s Use the [ic.org](http://ic.org) site, enter ur interest in the 'Search" box. ---

The link above to WeMoon Land is a good one – it connects to what are left of the 70s Back to the Land expression in the women’s community. There may be a place on one of the lands that remain to find a quiet place to retreat and heal. None that I know of, though, are really set up to truly support someone going through that kind of intense healing experience–nor is the community really that trauma informed (who is yet? seems like I’m just getting informed myself and I’m a trauma survivor who’s been actively pursuing healing for 50 years!). I’m only adding all this because I dream of such a healing sanctuary as you describe. I fear we may have to make it ourselves. I’m game!
