Workshop Details

How can you be open and vulnerable to love your partner, and, at the same time, free to continue to grow as an individual? This balance of merging and still maintaining your own center is never completely worked out, because each partner is continually changing. However, this dilemma of competing needs can be dealt with in ways that will add even more aliveness to what you already have together. In fact, a relationship that offers closeness, and at the same time freedom, can be a superb opportunity for your own deepest growth.
Much of your time during this weekend will be spent with your partner separate from other couples. There will be verbal, nonverbal, and written experiences to increase openness, support, and affection, as well as skills to resolve differences without producing scar tissue. Since play is an essential part of a thriving relationship, there will be experiences to spark the imagination and create new ways to play together.
Enrollment is limited to twelve couples.
