There is also the equally valid opinion that these type of seminars, etc. are just part of the Reconciliation Industrial Complex staged to fleece $$$ from the desperate by selling false hope.

Hello. For what it's worth, my WW and I attended Retrouvaille. Now keep in mind, this was after my WW had failed her polygraph and I had a (false, thankfully) heart attack scare from the stress.
So I was pretty checked out, pretty skeptical, pretty much done.
However, I have to say the authenticity and power of Retrouvaille is not to be dismissed. It can be approached from a purely secular standpoint, even though it has roots in Catholicism. It is not focused on faith at all, unless you attend a weekend where that is the theme, as we did.
Anyway, I found it very helpful for simply learning how to communicate with other people and hear about their feelings, regardless of what happens with my WW and I.
