Maris Stella Healing Ministry offers accompaniment to others looking to go deeper into their healing journey.

At the core of Maris Stella Healing’s mission is the commitment to foster healing and connection through a variety of trauma-informed offerings, including:

  • Storywork groups

  • 1:1 Spiritual coaching

  • 5-day Intensive personal, guided retreats

These experiences are designed to create safe, nurturing spaces where individuals can explore their past, process grief, and discover pathways to wholeness. By integrating creative expression—such as art, writing, and reflective practices— the ministry helps participants uncover deeper truths about themselves and their relationship with God.

Through its work, the ministry seeks to restore glory and renewal within the Church by empowering individuals to heal from wounds, reconnect with their faith, and grow in communion with God and others.
