Course Description

The Couples Course is all about LOVE! This is an immense training for living from the heart. To be in a relationship gives us the strongest opportunity to live a life focused on love.

Many of us were trained by a survivalistic culture, which most of our parents experienced. Add to that the stresses of everyday life, and we find the opportunity that being in a relationship brings is traditionally very difficult to completely embrace in love.

The Couples Course is a profound experiential weekend that will bring forward a multi-leveled approach to experiencing the tenderness and nurturance of living in the heart. It will look at the patterns that live in the unconscious and limit us from living the kind of love-experience we dream of.

It has been said that the gateway to peace, understanding and compassion in the world begins in our love relationship. Opening the heart to one other is the beginning to opening the heart to all.

In the Couples Retreat Course, there are five main areas of focus:

Centered and Connected: Developing each person's inner movement of connection to Spirit. Staying in balance in relationship with generosity and deep listening.

Sacred Vision: Creating a vision that is sacred to both people and the relationship. Training to take responsibility for the holding of the vision. Differentiating sacred vision from "ideal image". Developing courage to stand for love - for what is precious in life.

Believing: Worthiness… both persons learn to generate energy towards the relationship. Knowing that relationship is a spiritual journey of transformation. Holding the relationship as refuge and foundation - rather than the expectation that the relationship will somehow generate for the individuals.

Listening, Learning & Growing: Each person learns to know themselves and the patterns, hurt, and expectations they bring to the relationship. Understanding how childhood, parents and lineage effect the perceptions and patterns within relationships. Experiencing each other brand new.

Mindfulness: Slowing down, playing, enjoying life and all of the little moments. Prioritizing living in a world of love and care, hope and passion.

In the weekend you will begin to understand WHY it is difficult on a daily basis to maintain the heart space, and HOW to resource the evolution of love with the self that then can be shared as the dream we all want of relationship.

This is an intensive course, in replenishing the love you have. We move from one experience to another as a journey for greater understanding and deeper commitment of loving. It heightens the experiential visioning of what can be possible within the great opportunity we call relationship.

During the Couples Course, the energy was deeply felt by a couple that was expressed beautifully in their intention during the course:

"Sharing a life with another is a great gift. With commitment to grow, and connection to Spirit and the heart, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. Learning to live with and love another person for a life-time is a life well lived."
