A Weekend Workshop for Couples
For the past forty years, Drs. John & Julie Gottman, have researched thousands of couples leading to the development of the Art & Science of Love: A Couples Workshop. This workshop is designed for ALL couples in committed relationships for every age, stage (pre-marital, new marriages), ability and sexual orientation.
If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with insights and tools to foster further closeness, friendship, and trust. If your relationship is distressed, this two-day workshop will provide you with a greater understanding of your relationship and a road map for repair.
During the first day, you will learn how to build fondness, admiration, and closeness in your relationship. On the second day, you’ll work on conflict management while learning new and important communication skills. Couples work privately on exercises designed to address the challenges in real-life relationships. Certified Gottman therapists are available to support couples one-on-one with exercises. While the nature of this workshop is psycho-educational, all info gathered from couples will be kept absolutely confidential.
No public discussion or disclosure is involved.
