CREATIVE RETREATS | W2OMG Petals of Hope

Petals of H.O.P.E. Creative Retreat Sanctuary

Our Petals of Hope Safe House Coalition was founded to meet survivors where they are—whether they need immediate safety, a space to process trauma, or opportunities to grow creatively and economically. We blend therapeutic retreat experiences with real-world job training, artisan entrepreneurship, and housing solutions that empower survivors to bloom into the fullness of who they were created to be.

Every flower sold, every latte brewed, and every handcrafted artisan creation they sell is part of a larger purpose—to cultivate hope.
