I came here with a big sadness in my heart. I've used all kinds of support to process my experiences and let go of the heavy weight in my soul, including 12-step programs, religious activities, therapy, and all of it helped me feel better. Nevertheless, the depth and thoroughness of the activities during the retreat and the way the staff created a safe, contained, and confidential place for me to interact with other participants, allowed me to be as vulnerable and honest as I've ever been. I am grateful for this ministry and for having the opportunity to participate. Thanks to the people who make this possible. You are making a great difference in people's lives. Thank you!

I appreciate the opportunity to attend the Grief to Grace retreat. It has been a very rewarding and healing experience. My feelings of self-worth have improved. I feel better physically and mentally. There were times of personal intense sadness and mental pain, recalling instances from my past as a child and adult. I was able to rid myself of this pain through the readings and practices of this retreat. I would encourage people with mental pain and guilt to attend this retreat.
