How Do You Start A New Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat Site?
1.
For those who have participated in any
way in an abortion, the first step in exploring whether God is
calling you is to experience the Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat.
Your own healing must be the first step in this discernment
process. Our recommendation is not to pursue any
leadership role until at least 6months to a year after your
initial weekend. Stay involved with the site where you
attended your weekend, if possible. Attend support
meetings and offer to help in even small ways. All this will
prepare you for the time when you are ready to become a new site
leader. Next contact our New Retreat Site Coordinator

If you have not experienced an abortion
but want to learn more about bringing a Rachel’s Vineyard
Retreat to your area, please contact Michelle Krystofik:
newsite@rachelsvineyard.org You must also attend and fully
participate in a weekend retreat as the initial step in your
discernment. She will assist you in the first steps of this
process and connect you with retreat sites approved to host
future facilitators.

Consider attending a clinical training.

As the registration process unfolds, you
will receive a packet of information via e-mail, which spells
out the remaining criteria for becoming a site leader.
Once approved you will be assigned a mentor, an experienced site
leader who can help you get your site up and running. The
RV National Office and New Site Coordinator will also be
available to help you at any time.
