Stories of Hope
“The Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat weekend is a powerful step in the right direction of the journey towards wholeness that we all are traveling. Having attended my first retreat weekend in Beautiful Seton House in Kelowna I know now that that was the beginning of a journey into freedom that I never thought I could have. I had no idea the depth of the impact the abortion that we were involved in had on my inner soul. The Rachel’s Vineyard retreat was a gentle introduction into looking at the issues that surrounded the abortion that were plaguing me even though I did not fully realize they were.”
