The mission of Life Giving Wounds based out of Maryland is to help young adults and adults with divorced and separated parents give voice to their pain and find transformative healing in Christ.

The “path” of the retreat follows a Paschal journey through first the pain, “death,” of their parents’ divorce or separation by uncovering and grieving various layers of the wound, then the deep joy, “rising,” of accepting their deepest identity as a beloved child of God and becoming more aware of Christ in their lives and wounds, then to discovering a way forward, “going forth,” to sustain healing & a mission in the midst of their suffering.

Presentations cover a broad range of topics, including how one’s parents’ divorce or separation affects one’s identity and relationship with God; its impact on trust, dating, and marriage; ways to navigate anger and anxiety; true Christian forgiveness; appropriate boundaries with family members; redemptive suffering; gratitude and joy; and more.

Retreatants:

Open to all adult children of divorce, aged 18 and up.

Cost:
