WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT...

Grief to Grace is a retreat journey to discover the joy, belonging, and peace that are often missing in the lives of abuse survivors. Our group model creates a sacred space for people to gently walk through their past traumas in God’s presence—with reverence, empathy, and confidentiality. Since its founding in 2005, Grief to Grace has helped thousands of people begin to heal and flourish.

You're More Than You Believe

Grief to Grace retreats are for people who have experienced physical, emotional, sexual, or spiritual abuse. If you have suffered abuse, you may be holding on to shameful secrets and think you're unlovable, worthless, or not good enough. But that's not true. You may feel isolated or lonely. But you're not alone. You may have been called terrible names and came to believe them. But none of this is true, either.

You Are Not Alone

Your abuse can feel or sound too shameful to speak about—or even to believe. But within a safely facilitated group, you will realize you’re not alone. You share only when you feel comfortable, and everyone in the group experiences support, encouragement, and hope from each another.

You Have A Future

Our retreats are more than therapy, they are experiences that touch your body, your mind, and your soul. They help you discover the truth about who you are. They are the healing spark that allows you to become a new you.

You Can Decide

We understand it can be difficult to talk about what has happened, and you may be a long way from deciding to attend a retreat. That’s okay. You can still call us at (610) 203-2002.

WHAT RETREAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING...

"LISA"

I am astonished at the progress that can be made in a few short days. The time spent during this retreat showed me a true vision of God's grace and love. I valued how safe the environment felt; no pressure to share or feelings of being judged. Being with others with similar experiences was very therapeutic. It was non-threatening, healing, and overall, an amazing week.

"AMY"

I had no idea what to expect and couldn't find any detailed information about the retreat. Now I understand perfectly why; there are no words. My heart is so deeply grateful for the integration of spirituality and therapy. It has been the most dynamic and powerful synthesis of those elements. None of the elements would have been as effective without the others.

"JOHN"

I almost didn't come on the retreat because I didn't have childhood or sexual trauma. But I had 20 years of trauma from a narcissistic abusive first marriage. I didn't realize the full extent of the pain I was carrying, and how it was negatively affecting me. Through the retreat, I received powerful healing from the false guilt of being responsible for everyone else's happiness. I'm now free from the heavy burden of guilt of over-responsibility for the decisions of others. What a difference in my life! If you're on the fence, go on the retreat. I can't recommend it highly enough. It will be life-changing!

"CHRIS"

I had been raped as a 7 year-old and multiple times afterwards, as well as suffering clergy abuse as an adolescent. Even though I received professional counseling for it, I continued to suffer from feelings of shame, isolation and loneliness. It seemed that these things were never going to change.

Over the next 10-12 years the struggle continued until I finally heard about Grief to Grace. My wife attended the retreat within the past year and returned a changed person.

As she shared with me about the retreat and what she experienced while attending it I knew that I should attend it as well. The manner in which the retreat was conducted resonated with something in me that said, “this is what I need to complete the healing process.”  I was not disappointed! What happened at the retreat was truly amazing!
