Walking the Road to Healing
Sunset Lake located at: 30811 Quinnon Rd, Wilkeson, WA 98396
Join us for a transformative journey toward healing, wholeness, and spiritual renewal through a Christ-centered approach to recovery.
About the Retreat
The Emotional Freedom Retreat: Walking the Road to Healing guides participants through a meaningful process of self-reflection using Journey to Wholeness, a Christ-centered 12-Step program. The program is developed by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists to provide a safe environment for recovery and spiritual growth.
This experience is designed to help individuals identify and overcome self-defeating habits, emotional struggles, and life challenges. It is not a journey toward perfection, but one of growth that requires honesty, willingness, and the courage to be vulnerable in a safe and supportive environment.

- Coming to the End of Ourselves
- Learning to Trust a Loving God
- Surrendering to God’s Love
- Taking an Honest Look at Ourselves
- Honesty with God, Ourselves, and Another
- Becoming Ready to Let Go
- Letting God Remove Our Defects
- Recognizing Those We Have Hurt
- Making Healing Amends
- Continuing the Daily Journey
- Developing Intimacy with God
- Inviting and Discipling
