Five young adults sit together on a rocky outcrop in Sedona, Arizona, with a sunset sky and desert landscape in the background, while text promotes retreats for stroke survivors.

The mission of Living With An AVM Retreats is to bring young stroke survivors and people affected by AVMs together in a safe, supportive environment where they can connect with people who truly understand what they have been through. Going through a stroke or living with an AVM at a young age can feel incredibly isolating, especially when the people around you are in completely different stages of life. These scholarship-based retreats are designed to help survivors experience life beyond hospitals, doctors, and therapy. Through meaningful experiences, new friendships, and time together in Sedona, the goal is for every participant to leave feeling less alone, more confident, and hopeful about the life they can continue to build. Our retreats will focus on:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Creating lasting connections with other young survivors</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Building a supportive community where no one has to explain what they are going through</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Rediscovering confidence, independence, and joy</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Experiencing activities such as art, ceramics, equine experiences, massage, and time in nature</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Providing opportunities for healing outside of a clinical setting</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Helping survivors recognize that life after stroke or an AVM can still be meaningful and exciting</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Making the experience scholarship-based so finances aren&#39;t a barrier to attending</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Reminding every survivor that they are Alive on Purpose</li></ul>
