REKINDLING THE PASSION AND LOVE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP

It is possible to reclaim these values you had before kids, job issues, the recession, stressful events, etc. This retreat is designed for couples who want to reconnect with what brought them together in the first place. Conflict will be used as a tool for couples to preserve and deepen their connection and understanding of each other.

Using experiential exercises, readings, and group discussion, we will explore the Principles of Compassionate Communication (NVC) and other teachings (Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, David Deida, Katherine Woodward Thomas, David Schnarch...) to improve your relationship skills and more fully realize the joy of the relationship.

*Additional bonus* Each couple will have an exclusive coaching session designed for their individual needs.

• Hear your partner's deepest needs and feelings and have your partner hear yours.
• Learn how to recognize triggers and how to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs.
• Rekindle and deepen the love and passion you have/once had for each other.
• Remember and restore the love that drew you together in the first place.
• Maintain a 'self' as you deepen your relationship.
• Increase playfulness.
• Express and receive gratitude and appreciation.
• Address conflicts as a means to deepen your connection.
