Fresh Start

Fresh Start Retreat

Deepen your healing journey. Reclaim your life—and feel whole again.

Fresh Start is an intensive 7-day retreat designed for men and women who want to understand, process, and heal from past wounds, and reconnect with their authentic self.

Described by participants as “life-transforming” and “an oasis of healing,” the Fresh Start retreat is the first of its kind in the orthodox Jewish world, developed under the guidance of a team of world-renowned trauma experts, licensed clinical therapists, doctors, and rabbonim to combine proven principles with authentic Torah values.

The quiet, breathtaking surroundings and luxury accommodations create the ideal backdrop for deep emotional healing and profound rediscovery of self. Our team is further supervised and trained by Rabbi Shimon Russell, Dr. Janina Fisher, Dr. Ken Adams, Dr. Jacob Ham, Sarah Bridge, and others.

This retreat will help you approach your past with compassion, while teaching you new skills to “re-parent” yourself — letting go of negative messages and emotions based on painful early experiences, so you can connect with your authentic self and a life of meaning and fulfillment.

DON’T SURVIVE. THRIVE.
