EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, LISA SAUNDERS, TALKS ABOUT HEALING:

“If you’ve ever taken a good look at a beautiful piece of handcrafted crystal or a crystal agate from the earth, its many facets capture your imagination and reflect light. Every cut and groove, whether made by the human hand of a craftsman or the unseen but very real hand of our creator, serves a purpose. Now, my dear sister, consider your life. Think about all the people, situations, and circumstances you’ve encountered on your journey. Think about their collective effect on who you are today. Now, let’s change the conversation–the one we have with ourselves. That one that starts off thinking about a past hurt or painful encounter, and ultimately leads to us being angry, bitter, distrustful, jealous, envious, etc. We can change that conversation today! We can’t change what happened in our past, but we can change how we view and walk in it today.”

WOMEN'S HEALING WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS

FaithBridge Portland offers trauma-informed, facilitated opportunities for women to come together in a collective sisterhood and change the conversation about their past hurt and trauma. These intimate workshops and retreats allow participants a safe space to process and heal painful life experiences through a free flow of conversation with one another. Attendance is kept at a comfortable size, and personal information is held in confidence.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR OUR FALL/WINTER 2025 HEALING COHORT!
