"Are You Contemplating A Relationship?
1. What are your requirements for a relationship?
These are the deal breakers or non-negotiables for a relationship. It is imperative that ALL of your requirements are being met in the relationship - if not, then the relationship will ultimately suffer and break down. Some examples of requirements include being financially responsible, honest, or open to new experiences.

"Getting the Love You Want: A New Way of Loving"
A Journey to Commitment & Connection
Based on Getting the Love You Want by Dr. Harville Hendrix
This intensive workshop is often compared to 3-6 months of weekly couple's therapy. It allows you to become aware of how your unmet childhood needs are the true source of the current frustration and pain you experience in your relationship. Understanding your partners woundedness will remove criticism and blaming of your partner, which perpetuates the power struggle. Unconsciously we choose partners who can help us complete childhood, and in this workshop you will learn to begin stretching to meet your partner's needs, while healing yourself in the process.

Private consultation available prior to or at the conclusions of the workshop.
 
"Advanced Couples Workshop "
Our Advanced Couple Workshop, based upon "Receiving Love" by Hunt-Hendrix, is only for Graduates of the "Getting the Love You Want" Couples Workshop.
 
"Intentional Partnering: A New Vision for Conscious Relating"
Many have journeyed on a path of individual exploration in search of wholeness, having discovered that relationship is both the most challenging while also the most rewarding path to wholeness and connection. To remain centered and grounded, separate and connected, we need to enhance our capacity for expanded ways of relating. Through gentle and empathic, authentic and intentional communication, development of relational skills and processes can help to illuminate a new path, where connection to self and deep intimacy with another are inclusive. In fact, the other provide the mirror to define us more accurately.

Workshops for Individuals
"Deepening the Conscious Self: A Self Transforming Workshop"
Are there goals and dreams you desire --but you can’t seem to achieve them?
There are goals to achieve or enhance in our lives – betmore satisfactory relationships, gratifying careers, healthy life styles, – but we just can’t seem to make them happen. We believe what stops us are the limiting conscious and unconscious stories we tell ourselves, carried from childhood. This workshop is designed to teach you self-coaching methods and tools that will help you excavate those limiting stories and replace them with liberating stories that transform the way you think about your life, and the way in which you approach your life. You will learn the theory, principles and techniques and the part “Limiting Assumptions” play and how their removal, liberates thinking. These tools will become your own life coach!

A variety of significant themes are explored within a women's group using various media, including poetry, literature, film, myths and fairy tales and of course, personal experiences.
"On Being a Human"
A variety of significant themes are explored within a group using various media, including poetry, literature, film, myths and fairy tales and of course, personal experiences.

PRIVATE COUPLE'S COACHING RETREAT
 

We have found that a traditional private couple's coaching does not provide the right combination of personal time with a coach and intense focus on one's relationship for more than an hour at a time. Work and a family's schedule may make it difficult to commit to weekly sessions. Many couples have found our private couples retreats to be just what they need.

Our Private Couples Retreat is in a workshop format created specifically for an individual couple with one or both of us. The couple moves between sessions with us as their coach, private writing time and dialogue time with each other. The personal retreat usually starts with an hour and a half with a coach. Following the coaching session the couple will go to a separate office for quiet reflection and to write about the challenges in their relationship and to envision their goals. After an hour or so, the couple will spend time in dialogue alone. After this, they will spend another hour or so with one or both of us. Our coaching will help a couple through any stuck spots, assigning the couple additional writing and a dialoguing assignments for the next period of time.

A given couple may have 2-3 sessions with a coach in any one day. One or more days of this process may be scheduled. Couples will only pay for the time spent with the coach. There is no charge for time spent writing or in dialogue alone.

Our fee is based on $250 per 75 minute coaching session per individual coach.
(Fees may be slightly higher on weekends and on evenings after 6:00 p.m.)
A minimum six hour - eight hour session is recommended initially.
