Broken & Beloved

The image endures.

The likeness restored.


Accompanying women experiencing broken relationships to wholeness through Theology of the Body, mind-body healing, and the vision of communion.

So God created man in his own image…
— Genesis 1:27

Our Mission

Because each
woman is beloved.

Broken & Beloved offers a sacramental and communal healing journey for women affected by broken relationships and family wounds.

Rooted in Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, the retreat contemplates the mystery hidden in God before time began, revealed through the body, and fulfilled in Christ’s invitation to relationship.

Although we may be broken, we are still His beloved — and He can make us beautiful.

The Approach

Mind, body, soul — held
together.

One integrated encounter with healing — never bypassing the wounds a woman carries.

01

Theology

A language for
dignity

Catechesis in Theology of the Body gives language for dignity, communion, and the body’s meaning.


02

Healing

Received, not
bypassed

Body-centered trauma wisdom helps women notice and receive healing without bypassing the wounds they carry.


03

Communion

Restoration made
shared

Catechesis in Theology of the Body gives language for dignity, communion, and the body’s meaning.

Who we Walk With

Women carrying relational wounds.

Open to women of all faith traditions — from the heart of the
Catholic Church and the mind of Saint John Paul II.


Separation, divorce, betrayal


Family wounds and abandonment


Grief, miscarriage, widowhood


Abuse, trauma, and shame


The whole woman was ministered to — prayer, fellowship, counsel, Scripture, and Sacrament as one.
