Sunday, February 24 - Friday, March 1

Grief to Grace is a program helping victims of abuse to discover spiritual healing and transformation, led by a professionally trained team, and based on a strong Christian foundation and solid psychological principles. It was created to end the isolation and secret pain of abuse victims within a supportive and confidential retreat setting. Participants will embark upon a 5-day restorative journey of faith to find healing through living scriptures, journaling, group activities, and therapeutic counseling. It is a pilgrimage – meant to stop the emotional chaos of abuse, find a new beginning through Christ and in so doing, replace the suffering with a life capable of love and happiness that was lost as a victim of abuse.

“The communal experience of healing, seeing and feeling each other’s pain was profound. Validating was so powerful. I felt that our safety was considered at all levels.”
