The IRMA Network will be offering its next After-Abortion Healing Retreat Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 14th.

Held at a private cabin at beautiful Hume lake, this confidential weekend accommodates up to 6 women, offering anonymity and intimacy for the participants. Registration is required. Just $40 covers all food, materials and lodging! Retreat starts Friday afternoon and concludes Sunday afternoon. Carpooling may be available upon request.

At current rates, one in three women will have had an abortion by the time they are 45. Many of them feel silenced by the pain of their abortion and live isolated by their guilt and shame. This retreat addresses such issues, as well as forgiveness, grieving the lost child, post abortion syndrome and finding freedom through forgiveness in Christ.

The IRMA Network is the after-abortion healing and awareness outreach of Tulare-Kings Right to Life. Our goal is to equip people to provide safe places and ways to break the silence of post-abortion trauma and open the door to healing. All services are confidential. Many women have an abortion because shame, loneliness, or fear tells them there is no other option. Loneliness is not present in a network, because we are connected. The IRMA Network is a loving and supportive outreach helping to heal the wounds resulting from the trauma of abortion for both men and women.
