About Your Weekend Accomodations
A limited block of rooms has been set aside for retreat attendees, and that block will expire on December 6, 2017. Beyond that date, at the option of the hotel, the room rate may increase, thereby increasing the currently listed reservation rates. Those guests attending by themselves who wish to take advantage of the lower double or triple occupancy rates can request assignment of a roommate of the same gender as space and interest permits. 
We will do our best to accommodate you and notify you if and when we have a match. This is not a guaranteed situation, and should we not find a suitable roommate, you will be responsible for the published rate for your final room accomodation type. If you know of others who are attending and you all wish to share one room, please send an email to events@foreverfamilyfoundation.org after all parties have made and paid their respective reservations for the retreat. If you are paying by check, simply include a note.

- "I was lucky enough to attend their annual grief retreat in July and it was an experience that helped me tremendously. Being around people who were going through the same thing as me and searching for answers and contact from our loved ones. I love that they focus on science and proof that our consciousness survives our physical body."

FACILITATORS FOR THE WEEKEND
Dr. Mo Therese Hannah, Professor of Psychology at Siena College, joins us to discuss grief, the afterlife, and life after loss. She does this from the perspective of both a professional clinical psychologist and a bereaved parent. She will be discussing the difficulties faced by those who have lost loved ones in addition to suggested strategies for coping with grief. Many wonder why emotional and physical trauma often triggers a desperate search for meaning. Some find hope after encountering evidence that our loved ones do indeed survive physical death, something that Dr. Hannah both recognizes and encourages. She will also be talking about specific techniques that many have successfully used for not only healing from trauma and grief, but also for contacting deceased loved ones.
