FNDcourage Retreats

The FNDcourage Retreats, held at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado, are truly one-of-a-kind experiences designed specifically for individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and their care partners. In 2024, FNDcourage proudly hosted two unique retreats—one for teens and one for adults—offering an unparalleled opportunity for connection, learning, and support. There is nothing else quite like these retreats, making them a cornerstone of community and empowerment for those navigating life with FND.

In 2025, FNDcourage will continue its tradition of hosting transformative retreats:

📅 Teen Retreat: June 1–4

📅 Adult Retreat: September 4–7

These in-person retreats, rooted in the principles of the FNDcourage online course, are built to foster community and healing for individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and their care partners. They provide a rare and powerful opportunity to connect with others, learn, and recharge in a supportive environment.

Your support makes these life-changing retreats possible. Contributions directly offset costs and sustain future retreats, ensuring accessibility for all participants. Donations fund:
