About Sacred Cycle & the film One Moment(s). Sacred Cycle believes in inspiring survivors of sexual trauma through cycling, therapy, and community. Our sacred cycle of recovery empowers survivors to reconnect with their bodies. Healing helps survivors and positively impacts their families, friends, and communities. By supporting Sacred Cycle, you support survivors of sexual trauma and better your community of which you live. Unfortunately, 1 in 4 women face a new and unnerving reality following a sexual trauma. At Sacred Cycle, we have made it our goal to help survivors feel reconnected with their emotional, mental and physical worlds.

There will also be a special screening of the short film One Moment(s), featuring Sacred Cycle founder Heather Russell - an endurance mountain bike racer, a licensed professional counselor and a survivor of childhood sexual assault. OneMoment(s) is a mountain biking film about that unique moment when she let those pieces of her life collide and decided to make the world a kinder place.
