The retreat will have 3 main components to each day
Group Discussion, Insights, Exercises and Strategy
We all come together and there will be a particular concept for example; conflict. I will discuss what it looks like e.g. how to overcome conflict. Strategies and different things you can use to get back on track.
The retreat is an exclusive experience and as such there will be a maximum of 3-4 couples total. This ensures there is plenty of time to answer all the questions or challenges you may have.
Time and Space to Implement Privately
Then you will all go with your partner to a space where you are on your own; to discuss and try out the exercise together.
Individual Guidance
I will go to each couple and help with any roadblocks that come up and troubleshoot things with you or tweak things as needed. Plus, each couple receives a 90 min private couples counselling session.
