Who This Is Day Is For
This retreat is designed for all couples who wish to cultivate or deepen their love and understanding of each other. The day is not designed to be couples’ therapy, though the exercises may provide couples the opportunity to see more clearly their strengths and areas of needed growth. No previous mindfulness instruction is necessary to attend.
“It is a way to learn and relearn ways to be with one another intentionally, as well as refresh how you hear and see one another.”
“It reminded us of things we love about each other beyond the day-to-day items that
usually take up most of our time.”
“[The retreat] is beneficial for all couples at whatever stage or commitment level, to have the skills and resources to foster a loving, kind, and attentive relationship.”
“All of the exercises helped us to grow closer as a couple.”
