Church Service
Hope Hugs Retreat offers many activities. We believe you should do what you need to do to heal. I personally believe you can't achieve complete healing with out God. As with all of our activities, participation is optional. Our local church service is an option as one of our activities. I encourage you, no matter where you are at in your healing journey to meet me in the front row. I can promise you three things, you'll find prayer there, the holy spirit and of course, hugs.*See your retreat location and date for included activities specific to your event.

Massage is a unique way to help alleviate some of the physical discomfort associated with early bereavement. Massage therapy can serve as a simple cushion, providing respite and strength for the body amid the overwhelming emotional, mental, and spiritual pain of loss. Erica will provide outdoor timed massage included in package. Additonal time can be purchased.*See your retreat location and date for included activities specific to your event.
