Who we are, and why we do this

Far North Retreats was born from trauma. 

When Founder Liberty Miller lost her brother to homicide in 1997 she spent decades ignoring the grief. 

It wasn't until 2018, when she was asked to speak to inmates at Alaska's maximum-security prison, that she was shown the power of her story. There, she discovered her true passion, and what she feels to be her life's purpose - restorative justice. 

Since then, her journey has taken her on a path of prison volunteering, victim advocacy, and forgiveness. 

Liberty is a nationally credentialed victim advocate (NCA) and is certified as a grief and bereavement counselor and an ACE's instructor. She also holds certifications in grief journaling, trauma aware facilitation, mass violence preparedness and forest therapy.
