FROM THE HEART OF MOMS ...

"I was amazed as I watched the change in the moms take place in only a few hours.  I think that every woman there was changed and filled with HOPE!  I wish I had words to describe this to everyone, but it's like describing the beauty of a spring morning or the peace of a calm lake in the early evening ... impossible!

"The privilege of coming to the "Journey of the Heart" conference was not only a 'spiritual spa' for my broken heart, but it was also a turning point in my journey of grief over the home-going of my son.  The testimonies to God's healing touch in the lives of the speakers and the moms who shared radiated from their hearts through their faces, their words, and their generous acts of kindness and comfort.  I went home renewed, refreshed and rejoicing because I saw real live survivors of a pain that most people cannot even imagine!  God was in that place touching each of us moms with His 'earth angels' from Umbrella Ministries."

 

 

 

 

 


   
Canterbury Retreat and Conference Center is located on 48 acres of natural beauty, away from it all, and yet within a half-hour of the Orlando International Airport. A truly beautiful peaceful setting for precious mothers who have lost a child.
 

A weekend filled with love, hope, peace, comfort and encouragement. A special time of caring, sharing, bonding, and meeting new friends walking on the same road and journey towards healing.  Special designed workshops on healing guilt and regret, sibling grief, GriefShare outreach, love and healing in your marriage, honoring our children by reaching out to others, and messages that will fill you with encouragement and hope.  Plus, inspirational speakers who share insights on grief and the tools with which to cope.

Special Guest Artist and Speakers: Alan Pedersen and Lynda Shelhamer

Alan is an award winning songwriter, successful recording artist and nationally recognized speaker on grief and loss.  On August 15, 2001 Alan's 18 year old daughter, Ashley died in an automobile accident.  He will be sharing and leading a beautiful candle lighting program helping moms get through the coming holidays. He will be doing the workshop "Healing Guilt and Regret".

Lynda is the founder of 'Heavenly Hope and Healing' reaching out to mothers who have lost a child with support, encouragement and love. She lost her 15 year old son Josiah to suicide and has written the book "A Sparrow Falls" to give grieving mothers hope to get through each day.  Lynda is an inspirational speaker touching the hearts of mothers and will be doing the workshop sharing ways to honor our children by reaching out to others.

Plus, the conference will be a special time of celebrating and remember our children through a beautiful candlelighting program, creating a treasured memory, and Heaven-bound balloon release.
