There is freedom from the emotional wounds of your abortion.
Abortion is devastating. Not only does it end a life, but it wounds the hearts of the woman and man that made the decision.
If this is you, do not lose hope! Abortion is not unforgivable, and there is healing for your emotional pain. Jesus went to the cross and shed his blood so you could be forgiven AND experience lasting freedom from the bondage of shame and regret. Forgiveness and healing are two different things. Hopefully you’ve received God’s forgiveness; now it’s time to come get your heart healed! Deeper Still is here to walk you through a confidential, completely free of charge weekend of healing.
Guilt and shame are frequently at the top of the list when you ask women and men what they are experiencing after an abortion decision.
It’s time to find the freedom you long for.
Since the Central Arkansas Chapter of Deeper Still began in 2019, we’ve helped over one hundred women and men just like you experience healing and lasting freedom.
“Attending a Deeper Still retreat was (and is) the best decision I have ever made in terms of self-care for my abortion, traumas, and overall life in general. I have been released from my bondage(s) and forgiven my debtors/abusers. I am now able to acknowledge the existence of and grieve the loss of my child to abortion. It feels good to say his name and finally quit pretending he never existed. He did, and he does. Thank you most of all for that. Self-care comes in many forms, but self-care for our mental health is a big deal. Our mental health definitely affects us spiritually, and as I have experienced in my 60 years of living, it affects us physically too. Attending a Deeper Still retreat was a game changers, and I am forever changed. I am so very grateful to all of the facilitators and team members. Words cannot express my gratitude for YOU saying yes to all of us.”

Why attend a Deeper Still retreat?
A retreat allows you to get away from the responsibilities and business of everyday life so you can focus on receiving the healing of the Lord. You check in around 2:00 pm on a Friday and head back home around noon on a Sunday. Take this time for you! Your life will be transformed in one weekend! You will be immersed in support and love as you are served and ministered to by well trained, loving Deeper Still team members, many whom have been where you are. You will return home healed, reflecting a refreshed identity in Christ, and ready to start a new season of life.
Every retreat is:
Free of charge
A safe and confidential environment
Deeper Still Central Arkansas is one of over thirty Deeper Still chapters throughout the United States. Visit the national website deeperstill.org for more information.
