"Our team is made up of compassionate individuals dedicated to walking alongside anyone seeking healing from the pain of abortion. Rachel’s Vineyard retreats have been offered worldwide for over 20 years, our site has been honored to provide a safe, supportive space for healing. We understand how hard it can be to face the pain of your abortion experience—and how vulnerable it feels to share your story with others. But you are not alone. Our retreat offers a confidential, non-judgmental environment where you can begin your healing journey at your own pace. Walking into an unfamiliar place with new people can be daunting. Yet, we promise you that stepping out in faith to attend this weekend retreat will be met with love, understanding, and grace. You’ll be surrounded by caring people, and you’ll find the strength to lay down your burden and embrace the forgiveness and peace that God offers.

Stories of Restoration

“I guess as a man I didn’t realize the impact this would have on us initially and for the most part life went on afterwards, at least in my mind, pretty much normal. I’m not sure exactly when, but as time went on, I began to realize that the abortion was having a significant negative impact on us…we finally took the big step to go on a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat and I went along with my wife, primarily to support her.  Wow...Was I in for a surprise! Being able to share in this experience as a couple has enriched our relationship and opened up a whole new world for us.”

Retreat Participant

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.

We utilize a process developed by Dr. Theresa Burke, a leading Post-Abortion Trauma Researcher and Psychologist. The weekend blends the most current methods in trauma healing with scripture-led meditations. Women and men who participate are released from the pain, anxiety and shame that holds them back from a full, healthy life.

Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat is the world’s
largest post-abortion ministry.

“Attending a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat gave me the opportunity to account for my actions, work through my grief, and open myself up to forgiveness, love and hope. The retreat was like nothing like I have ever experienced before.  Rachel’s Vineyard has been a place to process and to heal.  It’s been a gift..”
