Weavings
WeavingsSM is a free weekend retreat for women who have experienced the death of a child 21 or younger. The retreat began at the request of mothers whose children had been in our Wings program. Staff worked collaboratively with the moms to create the retreat, which was held for the first time in October 2006 and attended by 22 mothers.
Participants:
-
Explore ways women feel and express grief

-
Experience a community of support
-

Weavings is free and open to the public. Participation is limited to 20 registrants. For more information or to make a reservation, e-mail Suzanne or call 314.273.0806.
