Amanda -- You seem like a very special person. I can relate to the anger
your fiance' feels. Unfortunately I am unaware of any retreats
specifically for CP, but the Catholic Diocese here (LA) offers retreats
featuring the works of Anthony DeMello which address anger and resentment
. I really enjoy his lectures and have several on tape. You may also
want to check with your local CP organization and see if they offer
something. If not, maybe you and your fiance' could organize one. A
favorite place of mine is St. John's retreat facility in Little Rock, AR
; also, Asilomar in Monterey , CA. I'm not really sure where you're
located.
Best of luck to you. JMW
