I will go look for some of my earlier posts on Retrouvaille and post them again here. It's true that they don't tell you much in the pamphlet or the website. That bothered me before I went. But once I experienced it, I relaxed about all that and wondered what I was even looking for. I assure you, there is no campfire, and you hardly ever sing songs. (There is some music that you listen to at the end, when everyone is feeling happy and peaceful.) Most of the weekend is like being at a business conference except more relaxed. You sit in a conference room and listen to the presenters. There are 3 couples who present. They are experienced couples who personally went through a marriage crisis, went to a Retrouvaille retreat themselves, and healed their own marriages. Over the course of the weekend they tell their stories in detail. You get to know their experience almost as if it were your own.
I'll go look for the other posts and put them here. I think I've written this type of thing out before.
