SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR DIVORCED, WIDOWED AND SEPARATED
On the weekend
of Friday, April 18th
through Sunday, April 20th
2008, a very
special workshop for people who are divorced, widowed or separated will be
offered in the South Carolina Low Country. Known as the
BEGINNING EXPERIENCE,
it is an International program, unique in the fields of peer ministry and
ministry to the single-again. Its well-structured programs are both
psychologically and spiritually sound, having been designed and developed by
respected Christian professionals in the fields of ministry, grief psychology,
education and organizational process.
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 people of all ages and denominations who struggle under the trauma
of having lost a loving relationship and desire to take back control of their
life.
Beginning Experience
provides the safe space; the support and the tools to heal, to grow, and to turn
ones 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 widowed, separated or divorced make a new
beginning in life. It provides an atmosphere of support and acceptance where
people can come together to re-evaluate themselves and their lives, and move on
to the future with renewed hope.
