Womens Sexual Trauma

If you are a survivor of sexual trauma, you understand that the trauma itself is only part of your story. The hidden wounds of sexual trauma span years—sometimes decades—and impact survivors’ emotional, physical, relational, sexual, and spiritual lives. Sexual trauma alters what we believe about ourselves, our worthiness, and our place in the world. Do we belong, or are we too broken?

While talk and body-based therapies are essential components of recovery—as well as the reclamation of good sex and health relationships—survivors are often aware that there is another layer of healing that feels consciously inaccessible. 5-MeO-DMT has proven to be a powerful tool for catharsis, and draws on emotional, somatic, and spiritual resources to shift the way our bodies and psyches hold and respond to trauma, both past and present.

Tandava Retreats are excited a six-day Sexual Trauma Survivors Women’s Retreat in Tepoztlan, Mexico, June 18th-23rd, 2024. The retreat will be facilitated by Dr. Holly Richmond, who is a somatic psychotherapist, certified sex therapist and sexual trauma expert, Victoria Wueschner, Co-Founder of F.I.V.E (5-MeO-DMT Information & Vital Education), 5-MeO-DMT Facilitator and educator, and Sarah Davidian, a 5-MeO-DMT facilitator and somatic therapist. This all-inclusive retreat will offer a healing container for a deeper layer of processing, enabling survivors to step back into their full, authentic, and sexually empowered selves.

Review from 2023 retreat from a participant who wanted to remain Anonymous;

“I have sought out countless therapists, treatments, and medications over the past decade to heal from my sexual trauma. Some approaches were moderately helpful, but it always felt surface-level and I never felt better. I knew there was something deeper that I couldn’t name and couldn’t figure out how to access. It wasn’t until I attended the women survivor’s retreat at Tandava that I learned what that ‘something deeper’ was and started to access it. I never imagined myself to be the person who’d take a leap of faith in attending this type of retreat, but I am so deeply thankful I did. The use of 5-MeO-DMT within the incredibly safe, warm, and supportive container created by Victoria and Dr. Holly allowed me to safely access layers of trauma-related processing I didn’t even know existed. I can say with absolute certainty that this retreat opened me up to the type of work and healing I’ve unknowingly needed and been searching for all these years and it’s been so eye-opening and transformative. I still keep in touch with the amazing women I met at Tandava and am so grateful to be part of the sisterhood this container creates.”
