  • Discover the blessings hidden in our brokenness when we choose to live with willing hands, open minds, and grateful hearts.

 

The Problem

“Brokenness,” the harm caused by self-centered fear and disconnection from our true selves, other people, the spiritual and natural worlds due to illness, trauma, injustice, thoughtlessness, or discrimination is the single greatest cause of physical, psychological, and spiritual misery in our world.  Brokenness often leads to choices of attitude and action that soothe pain in the short-term, but in the long-term, may develop into patterns of ineffective thinking and acting that increase the sense of pain, fear, emptiness, desperation, loss of meaning, isolation, and harm at the heart of brokenness. 

 

Turning Points: Crisis or Opportunity

The damage and pain of brokenness occasionally gets bad enough to cause us to examine our lives and seek help. 

While some of us are broken enough to become willing to seek help and make needed changes, for others a few dents and bruises are enough to do the same and set us on the road to recovery. Some of us reached turning points but found ways to delay self-awareness and healthy changes until the damages of brokenness seemed beyond repair.  In other cases, an event or series of events shattered us completely, making the path to healing almost impossible to take.  Those of us participating in B2B represent all these situations.  Some of us needed a spiritual or psychological tune-up, some of us needed major repairs, and some, like our founders, needed a complete overhaul, and in each case, we have found healing, freedom, and strength to face and overcome our brokenness.

The B2B Community and Retreat Center/Mission Farm exists to inspire, guide, and support any who are ready, willing, and able to choose this path to improve their lives.
