Our Founders
Scott and Cindy experienced the kindness of others after the death of their daughter, Ashlynn, in 2006. In an effort to help others in a similar way, they began P23 Retreat with the desire that others walking this painful journey will know they’re not alone. Their hope is that others will experience God’s comfort, grace, and healing in the process.
