Dear Parent or Guardian,
Thank you for considering Silent Sons — a healing retreat for teen boys and young men navigating the pain of fatherhood wounds, whether through loss, absence, or strained relationships.
We understand that this is not always an easy space to step into. For many boys, the absence of a father figure can quietly shape their self-worth, confidence, emotional regulation, and even their sense of identity. Silent Sons is here to create a sacred pause  — a place where young men are reminded that they are seen, chosen, and not defined by who wasn’t there.
The retreat experience is gentle, trauma-informed, and spiritually grounded. There is no pressure to share or speak. Through nature, reflection, movement, and guided storytelling, we help boys begin the journey of rewriting their narrative, one rooted in
inner strength, faith, and the truth that healing is possible.
Our facilitators are trained male mentors, many of whom carry similar stories. Each is here to model emotional safety, quiet strength, and hope. We invite you to reach out with any questions — your trust means everything to us. With compassion and hope,
Brenda Dixon
Founder, Echoes of Silence
