"Our team is united by a deep love for women, men and all who are carrying the impact of an abortion experience. These retreats have been offered in Kelowna for over 20 years because of the powerful discovery of healing we witness over and over again in the lives of the beautiful people who find the courage to attend. We know it can be hard to walk into an unfamiliar place with new people, but if you take that courageous first step, we promise you will feel accepted and cared for throughout the weekend.”

Stories of Restoration
“I guess as a man I didn’t realize the impact this would have on us initially and for the most part life went on afterwards, at least in my mind, pretty much normal. I’m not sure exactly when, but as time went on, I began to realize that the abortion was having a significant negative impact on us…we finally took the big step to go on a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat and I went along with my wife, primarily to support her. Wow...Was I in for a surprise! Being able to share in this experience as a couple has enriched our relationship and opened up a whole new world for us.”
Retreat Participant
Whether it’s been weeks or decades since your abortion experience(s), we welcome you to a weekend free from judgment and full of support.
We utilize a process developed by Dr. Theresa Burke, a leading Post Abortion Trauma Researcher and Psychologist. The weekend blends the most current methods in trauma healing with scripture-led meditations. Women and men who participate are released from the pain, anxiety and shame that holds them back from a full, healthy life.
Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat is the world’s
largest post abortion ministry.

Stories of Healing
“Attending a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat gave me the opportunity to account for my actions, work through my grief, and open myself up to forgiveness, love and hope. The retreat was like nothing like I have ever experienced before. Rachel’s Vineyard has been a place to process and to heal. It’s been a gift.”
