Marisa (Sasa) Withey Byrne

Marisa devotes herself to the transformative, humbling work of uplifting sacred sexual wholeness. As a “torch-bearer,” she is dedicated to easing the isolation and suffering of survivors of sexual trauma, supporting people– especially youth– to develop and sustain healthy and holistic relationships with their sexuality, and to educate and hold healing space for those who have caused sexual harm. As an incest survivor, Sasa has found healing through focusing on familial, global, and self-restoration. Her offerings reflect her experience as an advocate, sex educator, council carrier, ceremonialist and rite of passage facilitator. Her Bolivian/ Spanish and Irish/German ancestry, deep connection to Pachamama, belief in the revolutionary power of love, and practice of restorative and transformative justice shape how Sasa shows up to her work and to the world. www.moonlitpath.org

Healing Retreat For Survivors of Child Sexual Trauma

Also With Katie Spataro, CSB, Kari Stettler, SEP and Jay Wade

June 12 - 15, 2025
The annual Healing Retreat for survivors of child sexual trauma offers a ceremonial container for bringing survivors together to free ourselves from the effects of trauma on our bodies, hearts, minds and spirits. Participants are invited to honor, grieve and celebrate the trials and triumphs in the journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse. Created for survivors by survivors, we use a holistic approach to unravel the pervasiveness of isolation, silence and shame. The retreat includes talking circles, somatic practice, movement, visualization, song, grief rituals, and quiet integration time in nature.
