| Key to Your Child's Heart Mother's Healing Weekend September 23-25, 2022
One of the most difficult things we hear parents express is a profound grief and sadness over their child that is struggling with sexual or gender identity. But even more than the grief is their sense of confusion.
In their hearts, they want to love and nurture their child – and in their minds they know they are doing the best they can – but they are frequently conflicted, asking themselves what more can they do? A great opportunity arises when mothers come to understand that they have their own emotional wounds that are in need of healing. Focusing on "me" - although a bit counterintuitive - often results in a healthier child and a better "we". One of the moms who came to our Key to Your Child's Heart healing weekend in the past had this to say: “At first, it was a bit difficult to look at myself and see how much I need to focus on my own healing. But now I feel very encouraged...I’m so glad I came to this retreat!” In just a couple of months, September's retreat will bring together a diverse group of mothers to focus on healing themselves and their family. The mother’s healing weekend will give you the gift of healing in the company of other moms, who, although coming from different backgrounds, are likely experiencing the same struggles with themselves and their families.
If you want to give something enduring to your family, give yourself the gift of journeying with us at our mother’s healing weekend. Visit our registration page now to secure your spot at our early registration price. For those who need financial help, we are blessed to be able to offer some scholarships, so please note that on your registration form so we may offer you assistance.

This weekend provides fathers of same-sex attracted or LGBT-identified children the opportunity to connect with other dads that are in the same position, and learn together how they can rise up and face the challenges that affect their families and children. Fathers will gain great insight into their child’s needs by learning, growing, and taking part in group activities with each other during this interactive weekend. Dads will be empowered by understanding how their own background has influenced parenting styles, while at the same time, realizing how they can lead their children and family into a healthier future. This weekend away is set at a beautiful country farmhouse retreat in rural Maryland. Our small group of fathers is a safe place to process, learn, and heal. Dads will leave with answers, tools, techniques, and hope! |
