New Wine Centre ~ Rachel's Vineyard — Retreats in Ottawa for Healing After Abortion & Post Abortion Recovery

Rachel's Vineyard logo: a cross and a dove

Rachel's Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion. Weekend retreats offer you a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment where women and men can express, release and reconcile painful post-abortive emotions to begin the process of restoration, renewal and healing.

Rachel's Vineyard can help you find your inner voice. It can help you experience God's love and compassion on a profound level. It's a place where men and women can share, often for the first time, their deepest feelings about abortion. You are allowed to dismantle troubling secrets in an environment of emotional and spiritual safety.

Rachel's Vineyard is therapy for the soul. Current struggles with depression, anger, addictions could be related to a history of abortion. Participants, who have been trapped in anger toward themselves or others, experience forgiveness. Peace is found. Lives are restored. A sense of hope and meaning for the future is finally re-discovered.

The following are quotes of participants from past retreats:

“The Rachel's Vineyard Retreat was a wonderful healing experience on a spiritual and emotional level”

“For the first time in 20 years I was able to share my guilt, my anger. I was able to mourn the loss of my baby. But most important I was able to believe that she now lives with Jesus.”

“The retreat helped me understand the syndrome, that it's not unique to just my wife and me. It explained a lot of things that happened in our relationship. It cleared up things to be able to move on.”
