"Our team is made up of wonderful people devoted to walking with all who come to heal from the impact of the abortion experience. The Rachel's Vineyard retreats have been offered for over 20 years. Our site has been providing retreats since 2018. We understand that it can be difficult to face the pain of your abortion, and how difficult it can be to share your story with strangers, however the retreat offers a non-judgmental setting for you to safely begin the healing process. We know it can be hard to walk into an unfamiliar place with new people, but we can assure you that you will be rewarded for stepping out in faith to attend the healing retreat weekend. You will be surrounded by loving and caring people and you will find the courage to lay down your burden and accept the grace of God's forgiveness.”

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.
