Getting Back on Track Retreat Early Bird Registration Ends This Friday, July 17

At the end of this month, there is an opportunity for young adults, who were raised in the Unificationist tradition, that have had a sexual relationship outside of the Blessing to come to a retreat made just for them. “Getting Back on Track” is a weekend retreat that gives participants the opportunity to reevaluate their faith, renew their spiritual life, and consider a path to the Blessing.

What: Getting Back on Track Retreat

Where: Southeast New York

When: Friday, July 31 - Sunday, August 2

How: Learn more or register at bfm.familyfed.org

The early bird deadline for a reduced fee is this Friday, July 17! Registration will still be open after Friday, but the program fee will increase.

This ministry is dedicated to creating an environment of support and total acceptance where participants can:

-- Connect and share with others who have had similar experiences, challenges, and insights.

-- Reflect on the values of the Divine Principle and what the Blessing means to them.

-- Find answers to important questions they may be asking.

-- Create a personal path of renewal to realize the Blessing in their life.

-- Experience the unchanging love of God in an authentic way.

How Parents Can be Involved

The retreat is designed for young adults and their parents. However, parents can attend only at the invitation of their participating son or daughter. We have seen a lot of understanding and healing occur through parents and children participating in the retreat together. Likewise, young adults are welcome to come on their own. Lastly, parents who would like to come on their own to learn more about this ministry and discover ways to reach out to their child or those in their community are also welcome. Parents have

their own group for discussions and learning and there is also a parents association involved with this ministry.

We Take Privacy Seriously

Getting Back on Track is rooted in the respect we hold for each other. Everyone who comes to this retreat agrees to confidentiality, and the inquiries and communications we receive are treated in the same way. If you’re interested in any aspect of this retreat, or would just like to talk to someone, email our ministry team at backontrack@ unification.org, or contact the Coordinator of Getting Back on Track, Loretta Schauffler.

Spread the Word

We all know someone to whom we could reach out to. Spread the word about this ministry, and the upcoming retreat, by forwarding this note or sharing the email address for inquiries. Often it only takes a simple invitation to bring new life to another person.
