Last Chance Weekend — Couples Academy
⚠ This is not another retreat focused on fun game nights & scenic views

A Revolutionary 3-Day Experience for Personal Healing & Marital Restoration

Give your marriage what it deserves. Immerse yourself in the Last Chance Weekend — three days with Hasani & Danielle, the world's #1 infidelity recovery specialists.

A holistic, intensive process built for couples in crisis — on the verge of divorce, or recovering from infidelity, who need help now.

If you're looking for another "feel-good" retreat…

This Isn't It.

The Last Chance Weekend is a 3-day intensive designed for couples who have reached their breaking point. You are a couple in crisis, on the verge of divorce, or recovering from infidelity and you need help now. Your situation is so intense that traditional counseling won't even scratch the surface.

Our 3-day intensive is equivalent to 8 months of counseling. You'll participate in a combination of individual, couple, and group sessions, hear from other couples who have survived crisis in their marriages, and work through your issues in privacy with your practitioner.

While some initially have concerns about the group format, couples who attend rave about the experience. Our team of practitioners makes sure attendees are comfortable throughout and are never required to do anything they don't wish to do.

The #1 Reason Couples Remain Stuck

Broken Therapy

If you've lost time, money, zeal and faith in the counseling process… it's not your fault. Broken therapy is built on factors that simply don't work. The industry is full of licensed practitioners who are:

  • Not married
  • Not trained in affair recovery
  • Not an advocate for marriage
  • Not experienced with complex relationship issues
  • Without a clear plan or direction to guide couples
  • Without tools, techniques or practical methods to overcome challenges
  • Showing no significant progress from week to week

Typewriters. Blockbuster. Stagecoaches.

They all represent the world that was. The traditional counseling approach is no longer effective — so we built our method for the world that is. A time-tested, revolutionary, breakthrough approach to marriage counseling.

The Quantum Leap Transformation Method
The LCW Method

The Quantum Leap Transformation Method

Designed to produce a radical shift in your relationship — releasing limiting beliefs, negative patterns and unhealthy behaviors to unlock new happiness, harmony and fulfillment.

Quantum Change

Sudden and profound — not slow and incremental. Quantum changes occur rapidly and can dramatically alter the course of a marriage.

3-Prong Approach

Individual growth and marriage recovery are interconnected. We work your individual, marital and affair-recovery process together — superior to the one-issue-at-a-time model.

C/C Hybrid

A powerful blend of coaching and counseling. Counseling addresses past trauma; coaching drives goals and action. We integrate both for seamless growth.

Experiential Learning

Discussion-based therapy plus hands-on activities — an emotionalized learning experience that sticks and fosters deeper growth.

Overcome

To cope is to bow and maintain. To overcome is to prevail and conquer. We empower couples to overcome every challenge of life.

The Agenda

At Last Chance Weekend, You Will Experience:

1Day One

Your Marital Recovery

We walk you through a comprehensive process that clearly identifies the root issues negatively impacting the marriage — then give you tools and teach specific skills to enhance your relationship.

2Day Two

Your Individual Recovery

In every relationship there's a betrayed partner and an unfaithful partner, each hurting in different ways for different reasons. Working with each of you individually and collectively lets you make a quantum leap forward.

3Day Three

Your Affair Recovery

Most counselors aren't skilled walking couples through crisis like this. We take you through six stages — from discovery to recovery.

The 6 Stages — From Discovery to Recovery

A proven, sequential path through the hardest terrain in your marriage.

Stage One

Discovery of the Affair

Stage Two

Full Disclosure

Stage Three

Affair-Proofing Your Marriage

Stage Four

The Path to True Forgiveness

Stage Five

Restoring Trust & Overcoming Triggers

Stage Six

Rebuilding Intimacy in Your Marriage

It's Time to Destroy the Voice Inside

01
"We can't afford it"
02
"We don't have time"
03
