“As a survivor of sexual violence, I can say that this program has done more to help me heal
than anything else I have ever done.” – E.C. 2014
than anything else I have ever done.” – E.C. 2014
The Center for Earth-Based Healing offers survivors of sexual and domestic violence a positive, pivotal, and transformative opportunity for holistic healing - mind, body, heart, and spirit. A small group of survivors lives in community for three days and together, we experience the healing energies of Mother Earth in a safe and supportive environment.
Our trauma-informed ecotherapy camps encourage survivors to embrace mindfulness practices and expand personal awareness through nature connection. While we make space in our programs to honor past experiences, at no time will a survivor be asked or expected to share or process her trauma story. Our non-clinical ecotherapy camps are designed to empower survivors by encouraging them to remain focused on what is emerging in the present moment rather than revisiting and focusing on past experiences.
We also offer Resilience Retreats for private, public, or informal groups who find themselves in need of an opportunity to reconnect, recenter, and reground.

CEBH was one of thirty organizations in Virginia who was recently informed we are not receiving any continuing federal funding. We launched a crowdfunding campaign on July 12 and as of August 8, we reached our goal of $10,000 and now a corporation, GOLO, will match this $10,000, guaranteeing Camp Mabon and Camp Ostara will continue to be offered for another year! Michele Zehr, CEBH's Executive Director offers her heartfelt thank you and gratitude for making this miracle happen in this short video.

How You Can Support Survivors
The Center for Earth-Based Healing spends $900 per survivor per program, and we need your support to continue offering our healing camps. Survivors are never charged to attend because we believe a lack of financial resources should never be a barrier to healing. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, making your contribution tax-deductible. Please consider sponsoring a survivor at a level that suits your financial situation, or see our in-kind donation list on the DONATE page. Thank you for your generosity.
You will be taken to an external website to make your donation. Please list CEBH of AIWP in the Comments box.
