Compassionate Couples Weekend Workshop (February 24th & 25th)

It can be heartbreaking at times that the closer you want to get to someone the more reactive you, and your partner, can become. In our Compassionate Couples workshop you will explore how increasing intimacy can promote reactivity, and how addressing this reactivity can transform your relationships from agonizing to astonishingly beautiful.

In this workshop together you and your partner will get to explore practicing NVC in Coupleship!

We will:

• Explore the different partnership stories that can keep us in reactive loops.
• Learn and practice making agreements to keep you both comfortable and cared for when in conflict in the workshop (and at home).
• Learn to ask and hear the hard questions about your relationship.
• Make requests of each other and be able to trust that you will be heard in good faith – without hearing a demand.
• Practice hearing a “No” from your partner and skills to navigate where to go from there.
• Increase effectiveness around getting each of your needs met with more ease and efficiency.
• Practice challenging interactions with the guidance and support of your facilitator and the group.
• Learn to make repairs even when it seems the most impossible.
• Discover ways to shift overall tone of relationship from one of tension and doubt to one of appreciation, collaboration and mutual support!
