Restoring Hope: Couple's Day Retreat (friends, family, partners)
April 11, 2026
Van, Texas | Within 45 minutes of Tyler
Grief does not just impact individuals. It impacts relationships.
The Restoring Hope Couples Retreat is a one-day experience designed for couples who have experienced suicide loss and want intentional space to reconnect, reflect, and strengthen their relationship.
You carry your grief every day. This retreat offers space to lay it down together.
Through guided conversations, therapeutic group activities, creative experiences, and shared time in a peaceful lakeside setting, couples will have the opportunity to slow down and focus on one another. The day will close with a campfire gathering overlooking the water.
This is not about retelling the story of your loss. It is about being present in your relationship now. It is about learning how to support one another in grief while continuing to grow together.
Spots are intentionally limited to allow for meaningful connection and interaction.
There is a small, non-refundable registration fee per couple to reserve your spot. Thanks to a generous grant from the Junior League of Tyler, the remainder of the retreat costs are covered.
