Villa Kali Ma - The Retreat

A Private Residential Setting Designed for Women

The Retreat offers a women-only environment designed to feel calm, contained, and supportive. Clients live in a quiet home surrounded by gardens, walking paths, and outdoor lounge areas that encourage time in nature. Shared rooms with en suite bathrooms, comfortable common rooms, a pool, and access to healthy meals help create a sense of stability during an emotionally demanding time. With a small program size, the atmosphere stays grounded and predictable, allowing women to settle into routines that make it easier to focus on trauma recovery and daily functioning.

Specialized Care for Trauma, PTSD, and Co-Occurring Conditions

The program is designed for women experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and mental health concerns. Providers use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, brainspotting, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when appropriate. These methods help clients understand how past experiences influence current reactions, reduce intense emotional patterns, and learn new ways to respond to triggers. Treatment focuses on rebuilding a sense of safety, strengthening emotional regulation, and supporting women as they reclaim control of their lives.

Integrated Holistic Practices

Holistic practices are woven throughout the program to support nervous system regulation and whole-person healing. Clients may take part in shamanic healing work, yoga, meditation, breathwork, acupuncture, massage, Reiki, art therapy, and gardening. These experiences help clients reconnect with their bodies, practice grounding skills, and develop daily habits that reduce stress. Nutrition counseling and Ayurvedic-informed meal planning offer tools for supporting physical health alongside emotional recovery.

Preparing for Life After Treatment

Discharge planning begins early so clients leave with a clear plan for next steps. Staff work with each woman to identify appropriate outpatient therapy, support groups, housing options, and community resources that match her needs. Clients also have access to an ongoing alumni community that offers regular yoga, meditation, breathwork groups, and a weekly online sisterhood circle. This continued connection helps ease the transition home, especially for women who are rebuilding support networks or re-entering work and family environments affected by trauma.
