Grief to Grace - Healing the Wounds of Abuse is a five-day spiritual and psychological retreat program for anyone who has suffered degradation or violation through physical, emotional, sexual, or spiritual abuse. It is appropriate for those who have endured sexual abuse, rape, incest, or other forms of traumatic violation in childhood, adolescence, or as an adult. It is also suitable for those who have suffered abuse by a member of the clergy.
Grief to Grace is called to express the healing ministry of Jesus Christ by providing behavioral health services for victims of abuse with Christian integrity and compassion. It is a journey that provides safety and hope in the midst of emotional chaos. This retreat provides a process for helping victims of abuse to discover spiritual healing and transformation. Grief to Grace was created to end the isolation and secrets of abuse within a healing process that is fully centered upon the person and presence of Jesus Christ, the Divine Physician. It provides a model of care that is therapy for the soul.
