There comes a point in recovery when you're ready to step out of the routine of appointments and remember who you are outside of the injury. Rise Again Retreats are immersive, small-group experiences for that stage, hosted with Krystalore's Revive & Thrive Retreats.
Who it's for
Rise Again is designed for people later in recovery, typically after the acute phase and with travel and activity cleared by their treating physician. If you're not there yet, that's fine; many people put a retreat on their vision board and work toward it through MOVE Foundations.
What a retreat day can include
- Sunrise breath and mindset sessions with Krystalore.
- Gentle, optional movement adapted for every participant's clearance.
- Workshops: identity, boundaries, vision and the next chapter.
- Nourishing meals, rest time and nature.
- Evening community circles, and celebration.
Destinations
Revive & Thrive hosts retreats in places like Puerto Rico (April 2027), Costa Rica and Tennessee, along with women's, couples and veterans retreats. Rise Again dates and locations are announced to MOVE participants first.
Planning and accessibility
Tell the team about mobility needs, dietary needs and medications early. We'll be honest about what each location can and can't accommodate, so you can decide with your doctor and family whether a particular retreat is right for you. Bring your medications, prescriptions and your doctor's contact information.
Why a retreat helps
Many people say the biggest shift happens when they're away from the daily reminders of the injury: the couch, the paperwork, the routine. A few days of rest, connection and purpose can make it easier to bring new habits home. The MOVE team helps you plan that re-entry before you leave.
Preparing before you go
- Check with your treating physician about travel, activity and any precautions.
- Pack enough medication for the trip plus a few extra days, in your carry-on.
- Bring copies of your prescriptions and your doctor's contact details.
- Tell the team about mobility aids, dietary needs and anything that helps you rest well.
- Practise the breath and grounding skills from MOVE so you have them on travel days.
Coming home
The days after a retreat matter as much as the retreat itself. Before you leave, you'll write a short re-entry plan with your coach: the one or two practices you're bringing home, who you'll share them with, and when your next MOVE check-in is. Many people find that a planned first week back helps the shift last.
Who leads the retreats
Rise Again Retreats are led by Krystalore Crews, who has hosted Revive & Thrive retreats for women, couples and veterans. She is a coach and retreat leader, not a clinician, so bring any medical questions to your own care team before you travel. Retreat details, including what's included and how rooms and meals work, are shared with each date's invitation.
Travel and activity require your treating physician's clearance. Retreats are wellness experiences, not medical or therapeutic programs.
