Final Chance to Register! Is God nudging you to move forward in your grief? Special Grief Retreat Opportunity for Persons who are Grieving the Loss of a Loved One
October 8-10, 2010
If you have lost a loved one and feel that you are "stuck" in your grief or at a "crossroad", this grief retreat may be the perfect way for you to begin to move forward again during this new season in your life. If you believe God is nudging you to participate in a one to one Grief facilitation conducted by a trained Grief Facilitator, please e-mail us at lifecoach4u@bellsouth.net to receive more information about how you can be a part of this special weekend.
This exclusive event will be life changing. Eight facilitators will gather to offer facilitations for eight persons who are grieving. A Grief Community social time is scheduled for Friday. The facilitations will be conducted on Saturday and into Sunday, if necessary. Sunday will conclude with a worshipful Grief Community time and send-off. Lodging, materials, and some meals, are included in the cost of the grief facilitation weekend.
Come enjoy the Fall colors! Plans have been finalized for this special event to be held in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee at The Smoky Mountain Christian Village. The retreat itinerary will allow opportunities for fun, fellowship, and personal reflection by Participants. Due to the high quality of our facilitators, we are anticipating this event to fill quickly. Let us know if you have friends or family members who would also like to attend this weekend event. Since space is limited to eight Participants, it is a "first come" reservation process. All others will be wait-listed until the next grief retreat weekend in 2011. Won't you join us?
What Others Are Saying About A Grief Facilitation“The Grief Facilitation process really helped jumpstart my life again. It gave me incentive to get out of my chair and find purpose that God has for me. After 2 years of grieving, this helped restore my energy flow.” BM “I longed to find someone to marry so that I could stop being so lonely. Since my grief facilitation, I am content and simply moving forward to fulfill what God has designed for this new season of my life.” DG “For the first time, since my Mother’s death, I realized why I had been hurting so badly. This one-day process has helped me to get ‘unstuck’ and to focus on ways I can minister to others. I have begun a new ministry and found creative ways to honor my Mother’s memory without feeing depressed and tearful.” DB “Although I had finally ‘forgiven’ the drunk driver, who killed my grandfather many years ago, I was still mourning. It was frustrating that I couldn’t figure out ‘why’ I felt numb. Through participation in the grief facilitation, I was comforted as I re-discovered Scriptures related to grief and I realized what I had ‘lost’ when my grandfather died. Thinking about the many ways he loved me and the roles he played in my life have given me an understanding of the significance of my loss and a joy in knowing that God can use my loss to help me minister to others as a wounded healer.” SC “Although I had talked openly about the death of my best friend to cancer prior to being involved in the grief discipleship process, I had always held a tight rein on my emotions, keeping all the hurt and grief bottled up inside. This process allowed me to finally express my emotions and begin genuine healing without feeling that to do so was a lack of faith or trust in God. I never would have thought that this process would give me the ability to laugh and cry as I recalled special memories”. JD “I have loved being a Stephen’s Minister. I felt equipped by the many hours of training I had participated in, yet, there was one area where I felt inadequate- grief and the death of a loved one. I am overjoyed to have the grief facilitation discipleship process as a framework for walking with a Christian who is grieving. This is an invaluable tool!” SF “The night before I facilitated my first grief process, I was concerned whether this ministry would leave me sad and depressed at the end of the day. During the process, I was shocked at my own emotions as we laughed, cried, and celebrated the loved one’s life. We left the facilitation on a spiritual high, at peace, hopeful, and exuberant about God’s presence and the positive impact it made on both of us”. KB |
