This intensive 20 hour experience for couples comes from the work of Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of the best-selling, Getting the Love You Want - A Guide for Couples. It is based on the belief that relationships form an essential structure for personal growth, healing childhood wounds and becoming fully adult.
This workshop includes: lectures, guided imagery, written exercises, and communication processes.
The majority of the workshop time is spent in structured dialogue with your partner or with information generating exercises from your workbook
WHILE COUPLES ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AND TO BUILD A SUPPORTIVE GROUP ATMOSPHERE, THEY ARE NOT PRESSURED INTO UNWELCOME SELF—DISCLOSURE.

The Workshop will help you understand and cooperate with the natural process of relationship development and will offer specific ways for accessing nurturing and care in your relationship.

Using lectures and guided imagery exercises, written exercises and role plays in groups of three or four, you will develop a greater understanding of why your past relationships failed. You will put those experiences into perspective and use the information you gain to begin a healing process. You will also have a chance, during the workshop, to connect with other singles who are on a similar path.
It is not about how to snare the perfect mate, because the perfect mate is a myth.
THIS WORKSHOP will provide you with a chance to wake up your heart and tear down your walls. Most of the individuals who attend this workshop leave with a sense, for the very first time, of real hope for the future.
