BREATHE Retreat

If you have a child of any age who struggles with their mental health, please join me at BREATHE: A Restorative Retreat for Moms. This gentle weekend will provide spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal through the quiet beauty of nature, music, relational connection with other moms, optional personal coaching, focused prayer or spiritual direction, a variety of creative expressions, and the calming experiences of Christ-centered Yoga and aromatherapy.

I would love to share with you the wholistic practices I learned and implemented while journeying through mental illness with my son, Matthew, and the wisdom I’ve gleaned from hundreds of other moms who have walked this road.

The BREATHE Retreat is October 17-19, 2025 at Rancho Capistrano Retreat Center in San Juan Capistrano, California. Two nights’ accommodation (individual rooms), five delicious meals and snacks, and a variety of restorative activities are included in the registration fee of $349. Space is limited; please register now to secure your spot.

In order to make space for new attendees we are not able to accommodate past in-person retreat participants. However, if you have previously attended a BREATHE retreat and would like to volunteer please email Info@HopeForBrighterTomorrows.org.

I hope to see you there!

Warmly,

Kay Warren

Here’s what a few moms have said about their time at BREATHE:

“The retreat was a life changing experience because I was loved by other hurting moms, given strategies for my healing, given deep spiritual teaching and direction...This was God's exquisite gift of hope to us all. "

"As much as I didn't want to do this retreat, it was what I needed. It was a place where I felt safe, seen, heard, understood, and I wasn't judged. I did not want to leave. "

"Life has been so hard for so long...From my first step on campus to driving off campus, I felt nothing but love and acceptance and encouragement. All the attention to detail and being sensitive to each person's needs were healing and impressive. I will be telling other moms that have been challenged with a child with mental illness about this retreat."
