Restoration Center
"OPEN HEART"
We provide support to those experiencing emotional or spiritual burnout.
Our Vision

The goal of the Center is to provide a space for renewal and restoration on all levels—spiritual, emotional, and physical.

We welcome those who are experiencing:

  • Emotional burnout
  • Personal life crises
  • Difficulties in family relationships
  • Emotional, spiritual, or physical abuse
  • Loss of life direction

At the Center, we offer:

  • Comfortable accommodation
  • Three daily meals
  • Excursions to the scenic landscapes of Abkhazia
  • Year-round trips to thermal springs
  • Family training sessions
  • The "LOVE" quest
  • The "Open Heart" counseling program

If you are in need of restoration, we invite you to this special retreat for emotional and spiritual renewal.

A Little About the Center
In 2019, we purchased a plot of land in the city of Sukhumi.

This is what it looked like in the very beginning:

During this time, together with our team of volunteers, we:

  • Cleared the land and removed debris
  • Plastered the walls of the first floor inside and out
  • Installed windows
  • Connected electricity
  • Poured the rough flooring
This is what our Home looks like now:
And this is how it should look by the spring of 2027:
In the spring of 2027, we plan to open the doors of our Center to welcome our first guests.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t visit us now.

We have embarked on an exciting journey of building our Home.
That’s why we especially need volunteers!
  • Builders / Construction Teams
    1. In the Near Future, We Need To:Install water, sewage, and electrical systems
    2. Complete finishing work and lay tiles
    3. Install plumbing fixtures
    4. Purchase and install a boiler and essential household appliances
    Upcoming Work: Later, we will need to pour the foundation, which will require volunteers with experience in concrete work.

  • Kitchen Helpers
    To keep the men energized for work, they need hearty and delicious meals.
    When large teams arrive, it becomes challenging for Alena to manage the kitchen alone, so we invite helpers to join us.
    As a special bonus, you'll learn plenty of traditional recipes and kitchen secrets from Abkhazian cuisine!
Oh, and one more thing! We almost forgot to tell you:
The journey to overcoming emotional burnout also begins with physical activity.
And on warm southern evenings, nothing fosters heartfelt conversations better than a cup of fragrant tea.
That’s why the gate to our home is already open for you!
