• Project Grace – A program bringing together people who share a common loss for the dual purpose of both honoring their loved one and providing tangible humanitarian service to a community or population in need. Service trips of 7-10 days in duration to communities in need in the US and Mexico are arranged quarterly. By offering a compassionate, non-judgmental environment, Project Grace supports participants to find strength and safety and a healing peace. Common ground is reached through peer support, cross-cultural sharing, and service to others.
• International Community – CorStone has implemented international outreach projects for war refugees in Croatia and Bosnia, cancer patients in Russia and Ukraine, and with the native peoples of the Yukon Territory. In addition, CorStone has conducted workshops and trainings throughout the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Great Britain, Mexico, Russia, The Netherlands, and elsewhere. In 2009 we will pilot a new emotional resiliency program in several schools in India.
