A place to start again
Come as you are.
Where women from plain cultures can come — a place to get away, or a place to start over and integrate into society.
If this sounds like you
Who this is for
If you grew up Amish, Mennonite, Hutterite, or in another plain culture, and you need a way out or a place to start over, this is for you. Maybe you have been hurt. Maybe you just know you cannot stay. Leaving often carries a heavy stigma, so you can reach out on your own, quietly, when you are ready.
- You are thinking about leaving a plain culture, or you already left and feel lost on the outside
- You have lived through abuse, control, or shame and need a safe place that will not push you back into it
- You want practical help building a life in society so you can stand on your own two feet
