“I walked in completely broken, hopeless, unbelieving in the future, God's prophecies and promises. Having a group of people who sat with me in my pain, who were more than for me but empathetized with me in my situations was so validating. Suffering from compounded grief over multiple betrayals, family traumas, ministry dissappointments and more. I could feel the blankets of grief lifting off of me after each storywork session and the one on one time helped reignite a small bubble of joy to trickle back into my soul. Yesterday I awoke and said I want to play a happy song to listen to!! My team mates are commenting on smile back on my face as I continue my healing journey. The Pastoral Retreat met me at the crossroads of which do I choose bitter or better. Thank you for serving me when I couldnt help my self!! The facility is outstanding! A must see!”
