Curtis Shanahan

Warehouse Manager (Airdrie, Alberta)

“I am leaving this weekend with an understanding of my role as a husband and man that I never imagined I would have. I thought I was doing everything right, and that my wife was pushing me away. I now understand the power I possess in my relationship, family and life. This has reconnected me to the positive feelings I have towards my wife. She deserves better from me, and I intend to give her just that. Thank you!”

Dawna Shanahan

Administration (Airdrie, Alberta)

“I arrived open-minded but skeptical. This weekend taught me so many things about who I am as a woman and what I need to survive emotionally. I also learned what my husband needs from me to help him be my rock. Everything we thought we were doing to fix our marriage was only doing more damage. This retreat will 100% change our lives!”

Crystal Hellman

I feel like my husband and I can truly take on anything the world throws at us now!”

Jason Hellman

Ag Farm Manager (Fox Valley Saskatchewan)

“I was very hopeful coming into the retreat. I wasn’t sure if our relationship could be helped. I saw that changing our communication was the most powerful way to improve our marriage. I feel more committed and more connected to my wife. I believe that this retreat will continue to improve our marriage for the entire length of it.”
