True Vine Mom Retreat

Care for the Caregivers

Foster, adoptive, and New Mercies moms—are you burned out, weary, in need of rest? Join us for a day of rest and refreshment as we connect with God and other moms who have adopted, fostered, or hosted children. We will have a delicious lunch and spend the day learning and growing with other moms! Come as you are in comfortable clothes, and bring a pen, Bible, and journal.

We can’t wait to see you here!

Cultivate Connection

Support and Skills to Build Strong, Healthy Families

Cultivate Connection is a peer-to-peer parenting course facilitated BY parents FOR parents. The course gives helpful parenting practices and strategies for kids of all ages, with plenty of time to discuss ideas and ask questions along the way. These practical skills are rooted in research on brain based parenting, attachment, trauma, sensory processing and more. The purpose of Cultivate Connection is to empower parents and caregivers to be confident, calm, curious, compassionate and connected.

Are you ready to…
  • Connect and grow with other parents?
  • See yourself, your children, and your family with renewed hope and compassion?
  • Feel more equipped to parent the way you’ve always wanted to?
  • Add more tools to your parenting tool belt?
  • Address behaviors in a way that leads to growth and change?
  • Talk about how things are really going at home (judgment free)?
If so... Cultivate Connection is for you!

Next Cultivate Connection coming soon!
