Terry and Darryl have been on a healing journey for the past two decades. In 2014, they along with friends Bobby and Mary Jane Morgan, saw a need to create a healing weekend for couples dealing with betrayal, sexual addiction and/or mixed orientation marriage. They created Together in Love experiential couples’ retreat.To date, this weekend has offered hope and healing to over 100 couples. This weekend is held in middle Tennessee in January every year.

In 2022, the Deasons realized the communication tools and processes used at this retreat would benefit any married couple and began offering the retreat under the name Illuminate the Path. This weekend is offered once a year at different locations across the US. In 2025 we will be in beautiful Glorieta, New Mexico.

The weekend provides a safe, caring environment for you to meet other couples who want more for their marriage, to spend focused time learning to communicate skillfully, play intentionally and grow deliberately as a couple.

FAN iNTO FLAME

January 3-5, 2025

Women are constantly in transition.  We are moving and changing…..our bodies and our world is ever shifting.  We accommodate, we adapt.  We are good at muiltitasking!

But sometimes we struggle “finding our path”.  Maybe we are in a transition time.   We lose a part of ourselves, or we are taking on more, so we want to go back to a simpler time.  We feel lost. 

Fan into Flame weekend retreat is your opportunity to not only find yourself, but also create a plan for the next step on your unique journey.

We will focus on the difficult things, those things that you can’t share with your manager at work or maybe even with your best friend.    

Terry's role as facilitator is to help guide you to see things differently and to ask some tough questions along the way. She will accomplish this by using creative activities. Some will feel like play, others will be more serious.

There will be group activities and time to be alone to focus on yourself. You will design your own plan and make all the decisions about how you will execute them.

What you take away is totally YOURS!
