While relatively new to the State of South Carolina, since its inception in Texas in 1974, Beginning Experience has spread to 35 states and 8 foreign countries.  Sponsored by the Social Ministries Department of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, the first Beginning Experience Weekend in South Carolina was held in October of 2001. It is open to adults of all ages and denominations who struggle under the trauma of having lost a loving relationship and desire to take back control of their lives. Beginning Experience provides the safe space, the support and the tools to heal, to grow, and to turn one’s greatest devastation into opportunity. It is a place to find understanding and compassion from trained, caring people who can truly share the long walk back to wholeness. It is not a sensitivity group or a professional counseling session. It is not intended to provide therapy or to replace the need for it. It is non-confrontational and invitational.

The Weekend Program is designed to help people who are divorced, widowed or separated make a new beginning in life. It provides an atmosphere of support and acceptance where people can come together tore-evaluate themselves and their lives, and move on to the future with renewed hope.
