A Program of Healing
Rachel's Vineyard takes this scripture to heart as the Weekend Retreat is a spiritual and emotional healing process. In trying to understand the mystery of death, we look to God in times of personal distress, trauma, and the loss of human life.
Abortion brings deep grief and longing for a lost child, filled with regrets and reflections. In these painful moments, we seek meaning, turning to a higher power and the hope of healing with God promising to restore the barren vineyards to fullness, symbolizing renewal.
Therefore, I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and transform her Valley of Troubles into a Door of Hope - Hosea 2:16-17
Our Journey
Whether it’s been weeks or decades since your abortion experience(s), we welcome you to a weekend free from judgment and full of support. Our Retreats include meals and accommodation. This weekend healing process combines Living Scripture meditations, journaling, group activities, therapeutic facilitation, cognitive restructuring, and grief work. The retreat setting offers an intensive experience that goes beyond regular therapy consultations.
