The Journey Retreat

Cincinnati Ohio 4-Day Retreat

April 28-May 1

The Journey: Healing the Wounds of Mother Loss One Step at a Time is a residential retreat focusing on mother loss & its effect on your life, how her absence shapes your identity, influences your style of mothering and relationships, how your grief surfaces throughout your lifetime, and how you experience living beyond your mother’s final years. This weekend could literally change your life. Are you ready?

The professionally designed curriculum is led and facilitated by women who have ALL experienced mother loss. 

All meals, lodging and materials are included in the registration cost. Simply make your way to Cincinnati and we will wrap our arms around you with love and listening hearts.

Special Early Registration Available through April 15.

A motherless daughter could be a woman who has experienced a mother who may have quit nurturing her at an earlier age or has lost her mother by death.

You are worthy of healing and support and the time is now.  You will have excuses of "too busy" and a million reasons of why not to go. Push those aside and give yourself a gift of renewal this spring season.

Commit to yourself a time of new connections, effective tools and support from women who will get you and your story.

This is your time to:

• Be affirmed
• Feel loved
• Have some time to quiet yourself and reflect 
• Begin your healing journey
• Take a positive, christian-based approach to your motherloss journey

Do you need financial assistance for your healing? The Isaiah 61 Scholarship Fund was created by a motherless daughter in 2014 to help women participate in classes and events sponsored by the Motherless Daughters Ministry. Since that time numerous scholarships have been made available to women. As a woman attends, she is asked to pay forward the blessings she has received and donate to the fund.

The needs-based scholarships help to offset fees incurred to the individual. Scholarship awards normally range from 25-50% of the requested fee. There are circumstances where more has been awarded.  

To request a scholarship, Click the button below and include the following:

• date of your request

• what event or class you are interested in attending

• your name

• your contact information

• reason you are requesting a scholarship.

A member of the ministry will contact you within 5 business days of your request. 

Make a difference in the life of a motherless daughter.
