Breathe, and begin my Healing Journey. Her Gift is impeccable, her sense of humor and dedication to her call is her ministry. You can grieve and still have hope.

"Though I personally know Mrs. Heyward, A Time of Refreshing (ATOR) grief retreats has been life changing for me and my family. Her and her staff have taught me how to grieve in a more healthy manner. I've also had the opportunity to serve others while supporting this mission. I recommend Mrs. Heyward to all of my family, friends and strangers who is grieving. She's patient, relatable, understanding, and gentle with everyone while educating every one she comes in contact with. "

"Christal Heyward, my great friend for many years, has had a positive impact on many lives and is a blessing to all she comes into contact with. Her ministry is a blessing to many. "

"Expert by formal education, but more relatable by lived experience. Christal’s ability to merge is nothing short of a gift - she merges culture with character, often humoring the perceived biases that exist in both; personalities with purpose, taking into account one’s behavior with what they’ve endured and overcome; and finally, pain with poignancy…Christal has an admirable ability to call pain forward, front and center with the intention of shaping and molding it into something tolerable and somehow manageable.
