Beginning Experience Weekends are held at three retreat centers in Eastern SD.  Participants are asked to make a donation which includes the cost of two nights' lodging and five meals.  A $25 nonrefundable deposit is required with the application form. 

Losing a loved one through separation, death or divorce is one of life’s most pain filled experiences.  Many of us feel as if we no longer belong in the situations and the groups that we have always found comfort in as part of a couple. In the midst of this life-changing event, we lost our bearings, our self esteem, our very future.  A Beginning Experience Weekend can help you find your way toward a new beginning.
