Post-Abortion Healing               

Rachel mourns for her children; she refuses to be consoled because her children are no more. Thus says the Lord, "Cease your cries of mourning. Wipe the tears from your eyes. The sorrow you have shown shall have its reward. There is hope for your future".   -Jeremiah 31:15-17

Rachel's Vineyard Retreats

These weekend-long, overnight retreats are designed to help post-abortive women seek comfort with others who have gone through similar experiences and find peace and healing in a retreat atmosphere with social workers, trained personnel, and clergy. Retreat sizes are small so participants can receive individual care as needed. Click here for the website.
