What happens on The Weekend?
A priest and three couples who have participated and trained in the Retrouvaille program present The Weekend. The team members share their personal stories of struggle, reconciliation and healing. The presenting teams are all couples who previously experienced the four stages of marriage and benefited from the Retrouvaille Weekend themselves.
Time for personal reflection and private couple communication follows most presentations. The Weekend process centres around open and honest communication, which occurs privately between spouses in their own room. There is no group sharing required, other than a brief personal introduction at the beginning of The Weekend.
All team members, both couples and clergy, believe in God and his desire and power to heal and resurrect marriages. Though many denominations are represented, all team members share a Christian faith. The program is focused on marriage, not religious doctrine. It is beneficial to couples of all faiths or no faith at all.

What happens after The Weekend?
POST SESSIONS
Restoration takes time. Most couples find the 6 Post Sessions the most productive components of the program and where the most growth in the marriage occurs. The Weekend is not a ‘miracle cure’; therefore, the Post-Weekend Sessions, held on Saturdays, have been designed to continue the marriage renewal process begun on The Weekend. The Post-Weekend Sessions provide support as couples discuss concepts of the importance of communication, intimacy, handling conflict, and many other topics.
CORE
CORE (Continuing Our Retrouvaille Experience) allows for casual supportive small group meetings each month. This monthly meeting continues to reinforce the communication tools learned on the weekend and it is a positive and welcoming space that allows couples to form strong and lasting bonds as they continue to heal their marriages.
