WHO
Anyone in a long- or short-term relationship; married or unmarried; gay or straight; single or committed is welcome to attend.
OVERNIGHT ACCOMODATIONS
It is best that you stay in one of the nearby hotels or bed & breakfasts so that you have the time to relax and enjoy being together.
FORMAT
You will uncover patterns in your relationship that cause you unhappiness and stress. Learn how to break bad habits by building patterns of loving connection. You’ll watch video clips of real couples and you’ll do exercises privately with your partner.
Group presentations, by the facilitator, are brief and designed to prepare you for the private exercises. Your active participation in the larger group is welcome but not required.
The weekend is based on the The Hold Me Tight®: Conversations for Connection Program developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, director of the ICEEFT.
