Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat Weekends
Designed to help anyone who struggles with the aftermath of abortion, Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat Weekends are designed to help you get away from the daily pressures of life to begin healing through a supportive, trauma-sensitive approach.
Each weekend is run by a team of trained volunteers (counselors, priests, and lay people) who care deeply about your healing and are sensitive to your needs, many of whom have suffered the trauma of abortion themselves. We understand that your loss may be something you have never shared with another person, even those who are closest to you. All interactions with the Rachel’s Vineyard retreat team are completely confidential.
Our next retreat is held November 1-3, 2024.
In order to best serve participants during the retreat we encourage you to reserve your spot as early as possible. The deadline is one week before the retreat. If you have missed the deadline, please reach out to us to see if space is still available.
For information about how Project Rachel can help you or a loved one, please contact projectrachel@ccwestmi.org or 616-340-1824.
