Experiential Couples Retreat
Scottsdale Arizona
October 7th, 8th and 9th

Why is an Experiential Retreat Unique?
The experiential approach has the basic belief that for strong relationships, couples need to meet each other in a genuine manner with intention to promote the deepening of each partner’s intimate experience in the relationship. This retreat will guide couples toward achieving an empathically attuned relationship, a caring bond between partners, in the moment experiencing that is appropriately healthy and healing, and increasing the capacity for reflective awareness (not automatic responding). This allows for personal growth to occur for each partner and growth in the deepening relationship.

​

Objectives:

• Experience you partner authentically,  utilizing healthy communication.

• Experience your partner as they work to heal hurt in the relationship.

• Learn several strategies to create intimate, non-defensive dialogue.

In the process, understand you own internal critic and how it can create barriers in your relationship.
