Private Weekend Retreat
10/29 - 11/1/2026
Healing is a journey. What would it look like in your life to heal from the after effects of undergoing an abortion.
Take a step in your journey today.
Learn What to Expect:
Transforming Your Story 4-Day Retreat is a safe environment you can share about your abortion. You have the opportunity to grieve, forgive, and reconcile with God and your lost baby or babies. We will take a path using spiritual tools like practical ways for coping with anger, depression and shame, prayer that opens the soul to God, redemptive Biblical stories, journal prompts to unburden the heart and stories of women who have found healing.
Step away from all the daily demands and distractions of work life with a small group of women to a beautiful private retreat house on the water and care for yourself and your wounds. During these 72 hours, there is opportunity to release the heaviness and come away with restoration, healing, hope, and special bonds with other women who have undergone an abortion.
Read One Woman’s Story:
For 25 years, I thought my abortion was behind me after confessing it to God. Yet anxiety, fear, and painful patterns from deep wounds continued to affect my life and relationships. I told myself, “I’m fine. This is just the way I am.” At a weekend retreat like this one, I discovered a deeper level of healing and freedom. That freedom is available to you too. Replace self-abandonment with self-value. Replace anxiety with peace. Replace fear with empowerment.
Meet Your Facilitator:
Tamara Baczek leads pregnancy grief care at Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center. After undergoing an abortion herself, she kept hidden wounds of guilt and shame that impacted the relationships in her life and view of herself. Part of her restoration to a new life included encounters with other women and their pain and shame. The shame may have ‘worn different clothes’ but underneath was another wounded woman. One special woman Tamara met was Wendy Giancola, author of Transforming Your Story: A Path to Healing after Abortion. Tamara now brings Transforming Your Story to women as a weekend immersive retreat. Tamara will lead a small group through the steps within Transforming Your Story utilizing her gifts and skills in 1:1 care, small group facilitation, and her gentle, empathetic spirit to help women recover from the emotional and spiritual trauma of abortion.
