ABOUT STRETCH.

MISSION. STRETCH. provides an outlook on a life that embraces living in weakness and being vulnerable. As a result, we allow space for transformation, emotional healing, and depth in the revelation of our identity through the experience of unconditional love. We aim to do this by facilitating spaces and providing tools for women to express and experience spiritual, mental, and emotional freedom.

In these spaces, women are able to engage and share openly the truth of what comes up in their hearts and souls, no matter how messy or shameful it may be.

Through consistent engagement, women are set free by sharing their testimony. They learn to live a vulnerable life, open, living present in the whole truth of who they are, no matter what space they are in or who is around. They are no longer bound by the thoughts, opinions, and perspectives, either of their own or of others.

VISION. Our vision is that, as every woman embraces this life in weakness and vulnerability, she would become open in truth, she would be able to walk boldly and confidently in who she is called to be, and she would live completely and totally in the truth of who she is no matter the circumstance, risk, or who is around because we are transformed in truth.

Our heart is that we would reject the notion of being strong, and instead, boast in our weaknesses. We are aiming to shift the idea that being weak and being vulnerable is negative. This is simply wrong. By intentionally embracing a life in weakness and vulnerability, we invite open to true spiritual growth (transformation), emotional healing, and depth in the revelation of our respective identities.

PRACTICAL. We host monthly retreats, in depth conversations, and discussion groups that are focussed on defining and unpacking various topics related to mental, spiritual, and emotional health. We also provide financial support for women to start therapy.
