Retreats
The ministry of Rachel's Vineyard offers weekend retreats. These retreats are offered and presented as a chance to get away from the daily pressures of work and family, and primarily focus on supporting and searching oneself for healing. The time away provides an opportunity to deeply enter the grieving process and identify the ways that abortion may have effected the individual. Some Rachel's Vineyard retreats are hosted by church based ministries, counseling outreach programs, Project Rachel offices or Respect Life groups, and crisis pregnancy centers. It is offered in both Catholic and interdenominational settings.

Famous quotes containing the word retreats:
“Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function. Living is the functionary. The stream retreats to its source. A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
—Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
