2024 Renewal Retreat Update

With immense gratitude to the devoted Renewal Partners spanning the globe, we joyfully announce the resounding success of our inaugural Renewal Retreat, held outside of Kyiv, Ukraine, from May 1st to May 3rd.

We welcomed nearly 90 participants from diverse walks of life and our time was dedicated to the nurturing of body, mind, and soul.

In addition to instructional sessions, our attendees delved deep into the realms of holistic wellness, embracing transformative insights and practical tools to enrich their lives. From discussions on mental health to soul-stirring explorations of inner peace, each session was desiged to cultivate greater self-awareness and holistic health.

Between the teaching sessions, our guests took advantage of individual counseling sessions with experienced therapists, massages to soothe the senses, and a sauna experience. These moments of self-care and reflection were cherished, offering respite and renewal amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Laughter and tears intertwined throughout our time, weaving a rich tapestry of shared experiences and heartfelt connections. With each embrace and each tear shed, we reaffirmed the bonds of community.

Our hearts overflow with gratitude for the US based team that shared their knowledge and expertice, and the unwavering support of Renewal Partners worldwide. Your generosity and dedication have empowered us to share this transformative experience, igniting sparks of hope and inspiration in the hearts of all who attended.

Take a look at Sergii’s experience and consider supporting the ongoing efforts of the Renewal Initiative - advocacy, future retreats, relief work, and renewal grants.
