Make major changes in yourself and your relationship in a weekend and gain the tools for resolving future conflicts!
This is a powerful weekend experience for couples, designated to assist them in making desired changes, both in themselves and their relationship, in order to have a fulfilling life together. Information from redecision therapy, family systems, family sculpting, attachment theory, and other approaches will be used to help couples increase their awareness, autonomy, spontaneity, and capacity for intimacy. Couples often accomplish as much in this weekend as in a year of weekly therapy. Join us for a fun and productive weekend.
Note: We also accept us to two therapists who want to observe in order to learn this process. We will meet with them periodically during the weekend.
