The Center for ReUniting Families – Families are a Work of Heart

Family isn’t an important thing.

It’s everything.

Helping families for over 25 years to live happier lives

Since 1994, The Center for Reuniting Families, a 501(c)3 Educational Non-Profit, has provided services, resources and nurturing environments to thousands of families and individuals. Through our subsidiary, Heart’s Journey, we have offered hundreds of workshops for individuals of all ages to assist them in making better choices and improving the quality of their lives.

Here are some of our past and present projects:

Alpine Meadows Camp

For over 10 years, CRF owned and operated this 300+ bed facility in the San Bernardino National Forest. We sponsored Orange County Outdoor Education programs as well as working with many other non-profit organizations that work with youth. During this time Alpines Meadow Camp served well over 20,000 youth a year, providing a place for them to find belonging, to feel safe, to be nourished, and to learn how to create community.

Heart’s Journey Positive Lifestyle Education

CRF sponsors our online educational program, Heart’s Journey, which offers courses, articles, workbooks, meaningful exercises, meditations and other resources on topics such as parenting and family, self-help and relationships, and health and fitness. All resources are offered for a low donation making it affordable for everyone.

Dancing Deer Retreat Center

For over 12 years, CRF owned and operated this 50 bed retreat center in the center of the beautiful wine country in Paso Robles, CA. Located on 45 acres of pristine land, the retreat center hosted thousands of people over the years giving non-profit groups, organizations, families and individuals a quiet and safe place, surrounded by nature to reconnect, rebuild and rejuvenate.

Our Philosophy

The Center for ReUniting Families is a nonprofit educational organization. We believe that people the world over want to make a meaningful contribution to the well-being of others and that we thrive in connection with one another. For more than 25 years we’ve been committed to helping families, people and organizations make these connections, integrate personal growth and social change, and move beyond the way it is toward the way it can be.

To that end, our desire is to provide environments and experiences where families and individuals can begin the path to healing through self exploration, assessment and re-design of a healthy and positive lifestyle.
