Rachel's Vineyard
Rachel's Vineyard is a safe place to renew and rebuild your life after experiencing the trauma of abortion. The healing weekends offer you a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment where women and men can deal with painful post-abortive emotions.
A Rachel's Vineyard weekend is a chance to get away from all the daily pressures of work and family and focus on this painful time in your life through a supportive and non-judgmental process.
The time away provides an opportunity to deeply enter the grieving process and identify all the ways your abortion may have effected you. Rachel's Vineyard has a number of powerful exercises which allow you to speak out your grief and sorrow. The weekend exercises help participants to accept forgiveness for themselves and others.
Rachel's Vineyard is meant to help those who are trying to make sense of the very normal manifestation of grief. Mourning and grieving are necessary milestones which must be passed so that our lives can continue. When this process is complete there is a new beginning.
