As featured in the Netflix series 'Surviving Death,' this is a very special all-inclusive weekend of like-minded people and experienced facilitators coming together to SHARE, LEARN, EXPLORE, AND DISCOVER. This retreat is being held in an intimate center within a bucolic setting, and features a combination of small break-out sessions and general presentations, all designed to open minds to the reality that there is life beyond physical death. This retreat will be limited to a maximum of 50 attendees, and smaller break-out sessions will further enhance the overall experience.
Please be certain before making your reservations. As an all volunteer not for profit, we must maintain a policy of no refunds for paid advance reservations. In the unlikely event that the venue is forced to cancel the retreat due to COVID mandates, your payment will be refunded.
The all-inclusive retreat rates include lodging (except for commuter rates), parking, and all meals and snacks for the weekend. Meals begin with Friday night dinner and end with Sunday lunch.

Forever Family Foundation is a Global 100% volunteer non-profit, non-sectarian organization that supports the premise that life does not end with physical death, furthers the understanding of Afterlife Science and survival of consciousness, and offers support to the bereaved. Among the active members of the organization and the executive board are scientists, researchers, medical doctors, philosophers and educators who have devoted substantial parts of their careers to the investigation of the survival hypothesis - an existence beyond this physical world.
There are a limited number of rooms available at Guest House. Retreat centers are different from standard hotels in that they charge an all-inclusive rate per person based on the number of guests in the room. The registration page shows rates for single, double, and triple rooms, however due to likely Covid restrictions, only single rooms can be reserved at this time unless attendees are members of the same household. In the likely event that Guest House runs out of rooms, a commuter rate is available that includes meals. Commuters must make their own lodging arrangements with other nearby venues.
• Every guest room is decorated with attractive, comfortable and functional furnishings, and no two rooms are exactly alikeFEATURE FACILITATOR: Mo Therese Hannah, PhD
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 find hope after encountering evidence that our loved ones do indeed survive physical death, something that Dr. Hannah both recognizes and encourages.
