    The Reclaiming the Sacred Program is an educational resource developed specifically for survivors of sexual abuse, in which participants are provided with training to plan, design and create their own outdoor sacred spaces. This is also a regional resource that is available in communities across southern Ontario. This covers all aspects of the creative process, from planning and design to installation and maintenance, while addressing many of the challenges commonly experienced by survivors.

    More than simply another ‘how to’ garden seminar, this unique community resource can empower survivors to create their own sacred spaces and discover a new means of personal expression. When presented in combination with primary services and a reliable support network, these workshops can provide a life-changing experience for survivors on their personal journeys.
