What are Rachel's Vineyard Retreats?

Rachel's Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion. Weekend retreats offer you a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment where women and men can express, release and reconcile painful post-abortive emotions to begin the process of restoration, renewal and healing.

Who can attend?

The retreats are open to any woman or man who is struggling with the emotional and spiritual pain of a past abortion. Mothers, fathers, married couples, grandparents, and siblings of an aborted child, as well as those who have been involved in the abortion industry can find peace and inner healing through Rachel's Vineyard.

Why would I need to attend?

Since abortion is usually a carefully guarded secret, many people fail to allow themselves to process their experience. Feeling are often buried away and can eventually cause problems.

What can I expect?

The time away provides an opportunity to enter the grieving process and identify all the way abortion may have affected you. Pain and suffering are then transformed through a spiritual process using rituals, meditations, a memorial service, and Mass of Resurrection. Sorrow, remorse and anger ultimately give way to peace and acceptance. The weekend is intense and emotional but yields a fruitful harvest. Facilitators of the retreat include licensed therapists, former Rachel’s Vineyard participants, and a priest who serves as the group’s spiritual director.

THE RETREAT IS COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL
