Fireweed Retreat is founded by author, Jennifer Mae. The retreat is named after her book (See book for a description of the flower, Fireweed, and its significance ).
Fireweed Retreat is a Christ-center retreat for Birthmothers looking to connect with other women who placed and are wanting to find the hope of Jesus in their stories.
Age of Birthmother, year of placement and adoption status (closed, open, reunited) and agency in which one placed does not matter- all are welcome.
Fireweed Retreat will be a chance to learn more in-depth with Marriage and Family Therapist, Michelle Harris, about your Enneagram number- how God made you see and function in the world while in health and stress. And how to transform that number into healthy self-care to take home with you.
Laurel Bruhl will also join us to talk about navigating/defusing triggers and making wise/healthy decisions.
It will It will be a time of rest, connection, fun, and relaxation. A weekend focusing on each woman's worth in Jesus, celebrating her and her inherent value, not just as a birth/first/biological mother but as a human being.
Cost for Birth/First/Biological Moms: $86
(Price includes lodging at cottages, food, speakers and activities.)
