Being in a loving, committed, conscious relationship isn’t for the faint-of-heart. Rather, it’s a choice we make every day. There are times when that choice is easy, and times when it’s anything but easy.
In this workshop, you’ll discover new answers to your most pressing questions, such as:
- Where do my issues end and my partner’s begin?
- What’s the difference between falling in love and growing in love?
- What if my partner does things that don’t work for me—how do we resolve this?
- How is it possible to keep romance and intimacy in a marriage that includes career, children, and many other commitments?
- How can we do our relationship differently from how our parents did theirs?
In this powerful and supportive workshop, you and your partner will receive the tools and skills for using everything in your relationship for your mutual growth, learning, and upliftment.
