"This retreat has been life changing!  It has allowed me to grieve and gain a sense of peace after 24 years of loss and shame.  It has brought me closer to God and has allowed me to gain insight from wonderful leaders and the other participants.  Thank you, I will be forever grateful.  The most meaningful part of this retreat was connecting me in a spiritual relationship with my child and allowing me to bring my child's life honor."

"Life-changing and a total complete enriching experience.  This is an important journey that anyone, male or female, should go through that has experienced loss through abortion!"

"Healing, Hard Work. Necessary. Beautiful and Full of Grace.  I think this weekend retreat is similar to finding a treasure box full of precious gems and useful tools, I will be opening it up for a long time."

"This retreat was so powerful!  God has truly brought healing where there was hurt in my heart.  Pray that I will stay strong in the commitments I have made here.  I would recommend this retreat to anyone who is post-abortive.  The location, the food, the leaders, and the materials were all Spirit-ordained!  Being able to share my story and hear other ladies' stories really gave me a strong connection and bond that will last throughout the years!"

"Wonderful!!!!! All the special little things throughout the retreat reminded me of how special I am, how loved I am and it helped to calm any anticipations I had about going through the process.  The activities that were so symbolic of moving me through each step in the process were the most meaningful parts for me.  The retreat and leaders helped me to see that I am loved and that I can love my daughter and that she is alive, well taken care of and happy."

"This retreat was very helpful to me.  I feel much stronger after attending this weekend.  I feel as though I am not being judged anymore.  No one event was more or less meaningful than the other.  For me, the most meaningful was the togetherness and making of new friends."

"Amazing, Wonderful~Filled a much-much "needed to be filled" vcancy in my heart & soul!  The most meaningful part of the weekend for me was the celebration of death~bringing to life for the very first time the joy and beauty of the life of my child.  I had kept it hidden for so long-because of my guilt and loneliness.  Thank you for giving me a reason to love myself & and my baby.  This experience far exceeded my expectations and blew my fears to the wind."

"I never anticipated a healing like I felt this weekend in this retreat!  I know this program was God-breathed!  Only Jesus can heal and transform someone the way I feel I was this weekend.  In the activities, I felt His presence and Spirit, and actually could emotionally, physically, and spiritually FEEL the healing of Jesus taking place!  I would recommend this retreat to anyone who is struggling with a past abortion, even if you think you are already healed, as I did...there just is no other experience like this one!  I will remember it always!"

"This is such a sensitive, well thought out program!  I love the scripture stories used when we try to identify ourselves with a particular emotion or desire--you use symbolism which is nice because when someone is stressed over just being here its hard to be as cerebral and the symbolism is easy to grasp."
