SUMMARY:Emmaus Retreat for Grieving Parents
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Gouveia and Greg Eckerman \nThe Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents is a unique ministry that serves the spiritual needs of grieving parents.\nOf all the pains that life can hand us\, arguably the most searing is the loss of a child. During this weekend\, just as Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus\, we pray for all of our parents and we ask Jesus to join us as we walk the horrendous journey of grieving our loss every day. Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents is a unique ministry that serves the spiritual needs of grieving parents whose children of any age have died by any cause\, no matter how long ago. \nWe focus on the promise of eternal life and the rich teachings of our faith to help these terribly broken parents. We ask questions such as: \nWhere is God in my pain? \nWhere is my child right now? \nWhy do I feel abandoned by God? \nHow could God let this happen? \nThe retreat is offered by grieving parents who have lost children of their own. We provide an opportunity for parents to gather in a sacred\, warm\, and compassionate space with others who know their pain. Many parents find peace and comfort\, at least for a time. All faiths are welcome. For additional information\, contact Eric’s Mom\, Marianne Gouveia\, at 602.549.8932. \nFee\, including meals: Single Room $250; Commuter $135 per person. Pre-registration required. \nPlease email Lora at lora@thecasa.org for information on double rooms. \nScholarships available.\nSign Up By Wed\, Jun 3 at 4:00 pm\nhttps://frc.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=26AER77538

Classes four and five will be devoted to bringing what you’re learning to daily life. \nTo fully benefit from this class\, we strongly suggest you read “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life\,” by Marshall Rosenberg\, PhD\, in its entirety before the class begins. \nChristine brings 60 years experience as a clinician and 25 years of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) practice to her teaching.

SUMMARY:Marriage: It's Not for the Faint of Heart
DESCRIPTION:Erica Tatum-Sheade\, LCSW and Ryan Sheade\, LCSW \nStrengthen your communication\, respect\, intimacy and understanding in your marriage.\nJoin married therapists Ryan M. Sheade\, LCSW\, and Erica Tatum-Sheade\, LCSW\, at the beautiful Franciscan Renewal Center for a three-day retreat designed to help strengthen communication\, respect\, intimacy\, and understanding in your marriage. \nThis retreat will help to develop your relationship beyond simply “doing what you’re supposed to” or “making it work” and into a marriage that is fulfilling and full of meaning and purpose for both partners. These positive changes are created not from dependency on one another\, but from the understanding that a foundation of marriage is to learn\, change\, and grow with the relationship while accepting our partners and ourselves. \nRyan and Erica use principles from cognitive behavioral therapy\, trauma theories\, shame resiliency\, and even play therapy to help couples engage and connect. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity! \nFull disclosure: Ryan and Erica don’t have it all figured out either\, but through working\, trying\, and developing themselves\, they continue to grow every day and make their marriage one step better as they do. \nFEE: $200 per person double including lodging and meals. $175 per person commuter including meals. \nPre-registration required. \nSign Up By Thu\, Jan 29\, 2026 at 4:00 pm\nTo register\, visit frc.retreatportal.com
