Weekend for Healing After Abortion

“Do not forget all the gifts of God, who pardons all your sins, heals all your ills and delivers your life from destruction…merciful and gracious is the Lord.”  Psalm 103

Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat ™ weekends are a beautiful opportunity for any person who has struggled with the emotional or spiritual pain of an abortion.  The retreat is a very specific process designed to help you experience the mercy and compassion of God.  It is also an opportunity to surface and release repressed feelings of anger, shame, guilt and grief.  There are many scriptural exercises to help you grieve the loss of your unborn child as well as receive and accept God’s forgiveness.  The weekend will help your soul find a voice and transform the pain of the past into love, hope and peace.
