Spirituality Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. This interdenominational retreat is meant to be a Gift from God to remind
the grieving that there IS hope after the loss of a loved one, no matter where they may be on their journey of grief. It
will be a safe place for one to come and be in the company of others who can offer their love and support.
