Family dynamics can often feel strained when there are communication gaps, unresolved conflicts, or emotional barriers between family members. At The Ruben Group, we believe that transformative experiences and dedicated time together can be powerful tools for healing and strengthening family bonds. Our Family In-Person Retreats are designed to offer families an opportunity to reconnect, reset, and develop healthier patterns of communication, collaboration, and mutual understanding.

Our retreats provide a serene, supportive environment where families can focus on what matters most—their relationships. With guidance from our experienced coaches, families will engage in meaningful activities, discussions, and exercises aimed at fostering emotional safety, trust, and growth.

Our retreats are highly personalized and tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. Whether you’re looking to address ongoing conflicts, strengthen communication, or simply spend quality time together, our team is here to guide you through every step of the experience.

Here’s what families can expect:

• Customized Retreat Plans: Each family is unique, so we create a retreat plan that is tailored specifically to your family’s needs and goals. Whether you are looking to improve communication, heal from past wounds, or build trust, we craft an experience that meets you where you are.

• Professional Coaching and Facilitation: Our experienced coaches will guide your family through a combination of activities and coaching sessions aimed at addressing key issues and fostering positive change. We use a blend of experiential, cognitive-behavioral, and relational techniques to help families navigate difficult conversations, resolve conflicts, and develop stronger emotional connections.

• Structured and Unstructured Time: Our retreats balance structured activities with unstructured time. Structured time includes coaching sessions, group exercises, and reflective discussions designed to deepen family understanding and emotional safety. Unstructured time gives families a chance to relax, reflect, and bond in a more informal setting.

• Healing and Rebuilding Relationships: Many families seek retreats when there has been a breakdown in trust or communication. During the retreat, families will work on rebuilding trust, repairing damaged relationships, and fostering more open and compassionate communication.

• Creating Lasting Change: While the retreat itself is a focused time for transformation, the tools and strategies you learn during the retreat are designed to have a lasting impact. We provide families with follow-up support to help integrate what they’ve learned into their daily lives, ensuring sustainable change.

Benefits of Family Retreats

Family retreats can be a turning point in the journey of healing and connection. The immersive nature of the retreat allows families to focus entirely on one another, away from the distractions of daily life. Some of the key benefits include:

• Improved Communication: Families often struggle with communication barriers, which can lead to misunderstandings, resentment, and conflict. Our retreats focus on improving open, honest, and empathetic communication, allowing family members to better understand each other’s needs and perspectives.

• Healing Emotional Wounds: Whether caused by trauma, loss, or long-standing unresolved issues, our retreats provide a safe space for families to address and heal emotional wounds. With professional guidance, families can process difficult emotions and work toward healing together.

• Restoring Trust: Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and it’s often the first thing that gets damaged in times of conflict. Our retreats emphasize building and restoring trust within families through guided exercises and open dialogue.

• Strengthening Family Bonds: Spending quality time together in a supportive, intentional environment allows families to reconnect and deepen their emotional bonds. Retreats provide a rare opportunity to focus solely on one another without the distractions of work, technology, or other stressors.

• Conflict Resolution Skills: Families learn how to address and resolve conflicts in a healthy, respectful way. This includes developing strategies for managing disagreements, setting healthy boundaries, and communicating needs effectively.
