FADEN OFFERS Group and 1-on-1 experiences where Beauty as Medicine meets expert care and transformative surroundings.

RETREATS

At FADEN, we call it Beauty as Medicine: the understanding that aesthetic and sensory design—scent, texture, sound, light—is not decoration but a form of regulation, and that the container itself participates in healing. Beauty extends beyond the senses into the architecture of our retreat experiences: the precision of language, the courage to be vulnerable, the structures that make surrender possible, and the silence that follows release. It lives in attunement, in belonging, in the exquisite moments when rigor meets tenderness and the body remembers it is safe to open again.

Our retreat experiences are grounded in clinician-led psychotherapy, women’s group work, and retreats focused on lasting change, offering the time, space, and community to support transformation on every level—emotional, psychological, and somatic. We are deeply drawn to the invocation of healing through sound, smell, touch, sight, and taste, crafting a setting where the body interprets sensation, the mind assembles meaning, and integration becomes both practical and soulful.

We focus on:

  • Trauma-informed structure, where safety and clarity form the ground for transformation.

  • Beauty as Medicine, using the senses as a pathway to regulation and insight.

  • Community as catalyst, honoring the ancient intelligence of women healing women together.

  • Mythopoetic integration, translating symbolic experiences into actionable, soulful guidance.

1-ON-1

In addition to our group retreat offerings, our Founder, Lindsay Olshan, LMFT offers individual KAP (Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy) sessions in her San Francisco office as well as in Woodacre, CA. We deeply believe health is a subjective experience that can takes many forms and we are equipped to provide the kind of support you seek.
