RETROUVAILLE WEEKEND -
August 13 - 15,
2010 or October 1 - 3, 2010
Retrouvaille
begins with a weekend experience in which husbands and wives are
helped to re-establish communication and to gain new insights
into themselves as individuals and as a couple. This part of
the program is presented by three married couples and a priest.
The team couples, who have experienced disillusionment, pain,
anger, and conflict, offer hope as they share their personal
stories of struggle, reconciliation and healing. You will find
courage and strength in the realization that you are not alone
in your struggle. The weekend is not a spiritual retreat, not a
sensitivity group, not a seminar, not a social gathering, nor is
it counseling. You will not be asked to share your problems
with anyone else. However you will be encouraged to put the past
behind you, to look beyond the hurt and pain, in order to
rediscover each other in a new and positive way. The
Retrouvaille Weekend offers a very different message from the
current secular themes of self-gratification and self-reliance.
The weekend will help you discover how listening, forgiveness,
communication, and the dialogue process are powerful aids for
building a loving and lasting relationship. Up coming
weekends: August 13 - 15, 2010 or October 1 - 3, 2010.
Retrouvaille A lifeline for troubled marriages. Call
Retrouvaille of Lansing at 517 290-5596. |
