Community Calendar

Relationship Recovery is a community-based non-profit organization located in Grants Pass, Oregon, dedicated to supporting individuals navigating the complexities of grief and trauma. Our mission is to provide a compassionate and understanding environment where men and women can find solace and the tools necessary to move forward in their healing journey. We have developed a comprehensive program consisting of four classes, each designed to address different stages and aspects of the healing journey.

Support - Meet others with a story to tell and realize that you are not a failure, and more importantly, you are not alone.

Transitions - After telling your story, it’s time to transition from the past and learn from it, forming a new "normal".

Boundaries - Figure out what an appropriate boundary is for family, friends, significant others, and even yourself.

Rebuilding - Work on building better relationships and a whole new life.

BEESON: An Indian Advocate is a staged play written by Joe Charter. Forced from his home in Talent by neighbors irate that he championed the rights of Indigenous People, Beeson risked all to advocate for Native Americans during the Civil War. This play explores timely issues of genocide, racial discrimination, and the personal costs of speaking out against injustice.

Beeson was an Abolitionist in Illinois before he and his family settled in Talent Oregon during the height of the Rogue Indian Wars. As a first-hand witness to forced removals, atrocities, and deprivations inflicted on Natives, Beeson advocated nationally for Native Americans and wrote A Plea for the Indians. Beeson was a Spiritualist and social reformer. The reading is accompanied by historical photos of the persons making history in our region.
