Joyful Heart is committed to providing resources and creating programs for survivors in the Hawaiian community. Our local retreat program is designed for survivors to experience alternative healing techniques and native rituals similar to our week long restorative retreat. Participants try art therapy, guided writing, sharing circles, hula, meditation and swims with dolphins in the wild. We emphasize the use of local therapies that can be accessed after the retreats. Participants are referred from local violence intervention programs.
