Join Dr. Warren Kinghorn for a transformative retreat that reimagines mental health care through the lens of Christian faith and community.

What if mental health care was less about fixing symptoms and more about accompanying fellow travelers on their journey? Dr. Warren Kinghorn—theologian, practicing psychiatrist, and author of Wayfaring—invites you to explore a vision of healing that honors the whole person: body, mind, spirit, and relationships.

Drawing on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas and grounded in both theological insight and scientific evidence, this retreat offers an alternative to the impersonal medical model. Discover how to see yourself and others not as problems to be solved, but as beloved wayfarers known by God, formed in community, and journeying toward wholeness.

Furthermore, pain and injustice can shape a child’s attitudes and behaviors in unhealthy ways. If our children have developed harmful patterns in response to wounds—whether inflicted by others or by us—this, too, can be brought before God in prayer.

Praying on their behalf is not about assigning blame or cultivating guilt. Rather, it is an act of humility—acknowledging before God the sins or wounds that affect our children and seeking His forgiveness and healing. Since young children may not yet have the ability to process these matters in prayer, we stand in the gap for them, trusting in God’s grace.
