Discover hands-on strategies to infuse joy into life, foster lifelong connections, and create a peaceful home environment. Don’t miss this chance to transform your family and relationship dynamics—reserve your spot today and soar into a brighter future!
Imagine yourself in the Colorado mountains in the summertime surrounded by familiar faces and some new but friendly people and families. You’re all there to be in nature and healthy community together, to learn and grow together, and to co-create joy, fun, and memories that will last a lifetime!
When: Monday, July 28-Thursday, July 31, 2025
Where: Meadows Group Campground, Pine, Colorado, about 2 hours from Denver, Colorado airport
Who: Individuals, couples, families- anyone ready for healing adventures with community in nature.
What: SOAR Camp is an opportunity for you to connect with your own needs for play, community, connection, and healing. You’ll learn skills, experience what a truly supportive community feels like, and have a joyful experience of embodied healing in nature and community. This is transformative healing, where you’ll learn robust tools, experience layers of support and nurturing. We’ll be playing games, doing role plays, exploring with art, moving our bodies in nature, and have sharing circles around a campfire.
Why: Healing isn’t just crying on your therapists’ couch for years. At SOAR Camp, healing is dancing and singing through the woods, crying, and connecting deeply and joyfully.
Did you miss our SOAR Kickoff Celebration? It’s not too late to get the recording and discover some of our playful healing practices. Checkout with the recording (free) and we’ll email you the replay.
If you’ve been working on healing your relationship with yourself and your important others, or you’ve been working through childhood trauma and attachment wounds, and it feels like you’re stuck somewhere. If traditional methods aren’t getting you where you want to be, this is what’s missing. Come join us to heal with play, community, connection, more actively exploring things, and the somatic lens that includes your body.
You’ll leave more connected to yourself, with more space for your most important relationships to heal in connection. This is about healing in connection with yourself and others. You’ll leave with tools and skills for staying connected to yourself and a sense of play and joy while healing in relationships. You’ll leave with a felt sense experience of healthy relationships to take back home.
Meals included, bring your own camping gear or we can help arrange gear and transportation from Denver. Campers and RV are allowed with no hook-ups.

Meet Your Guides
Jen Gerardy, HFCE
Jen knew when she became a mom that she wanted to parent differently than she experienced growing up. She read the usual books, took classes on birth and breastfeeding, and set out to Do Parenting Right. Then she was blessed with an intense, challenging, incredible little person who didn’t do anything the way the books said he would!
Jen’s early parenting journey was difficult and emotional. She was fortunate to find supportive community that helped her adapt to her son’s needs, and when she found Consciously Parenting things really began to shift in her family and in her relationships with her children and everyone else in her life. Consciously Parenting gave her the tools and framework to grow, heal, and connect with herself and her son, and to respond instead of react in intense, emotionally heated moments. As Jen has found more joy and connection in parenting, and more fulfillment in all of her relationships, she has felt called to support other families and individuals doing this work to heal and grow.
Jen has a background in bodywork and somatic approaches to trauma, as well as breastfeeding support. She is a certified Holistic Family Consultant and has been working with families and individuals since 2020. Jen specializes in working with nontraditional relationships and families, homeschooling, and brings a neurodiversity affirming, queer positive, and social justice, anti-racist lens to her work.
Rebecca Thompson Hitt, MS, MFT
Rebecca is the founder and executive director of The Consciously Parenting Project (2007). She’s a holistic marriage and family therapist specializing in nervous system regulation and prenatal and perinatal somatic psychology. But here’s what she’d like to share with you in her own words:
I’m Rebecca. I’m eccentric and adventurous, but I haven’t always been this way. I spent the first 35+ years of my life experiencing overwhelming anxiety, struggling with early traumatic experiences that became super apparent to me once I was married and I had my first baby. It’s taken me a lot of personal work to get to a place where I can be flexible enough to do things like I was doing in this picture.
I had climbed a really sketchy metal ladder on a 10k foot mountain in a cloud forest in southern Mexico. It was cold and I didn’t have warm enough clothes because we were going to the jungle, which is hot. But I didn’t let that stop me. The smile is from the cold, cold air as clouds whooshed by and the exhilarating feeling of doing something on the edge, literally.
Healing my relationship with myself has meant that I know my limits and my capacities, which has allowed me to grow. Healing my relationship with others has given me confidence to do hard things. Supporting others to heal their relationships, whether healing directly with the other person, or doing their own healing work on that relationship alone, helps me to know deep inside myself that healing is always possible. We don’t have to stay stuck, but we need to step outside of our way of viewing the world to see something new. Jen and I are here to guide you on your personal journey in the Colorado mountains. We can’t wait to be with you!
