About this Event

Let's face it: every relationship has its share of "spirited discussions" (a.k.a. arguments about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher). And at its core, conflict is really just us objecting to the fact that our partner doesn't see things exactly the way we do. Shocking, right?


But what if we told you there's a way to transform those eye-rolling moments into actual curiosity, and those "you always do this" judgments into fresh perspectives? Imagine: deeper connection, more safety, genuine intimacy, and—dare we say—hope in your relationship!


While we can't promise to eliminate every squabble about the thermostat setting, we do have a solution for many relationship conflicts: Our Safe Conversations™ workshop will arm you with the skills to shift from "you're wrong" to "tell me more," and from judgment to understanding. This process creates a deeper sense of safety, intimacy, and hope within your relationships (and maybe even settles the dishwasher debate once and for all).


Research consistently shows that communication issues are a primary factor in divorce, with one study finding it was the main reason in 67.5% of marriages that ended.”

— NCIB


Life is busy, and we understand that. Investing just a few hours now can save countless hours of misunderstanding and argument later, creating more quality time for connection. This workshop offers a practical and supportive environment for applying learned concepts, navigating sensitive topics, and fostering a deeper understanding.



Key Learning Outcomes:

Our 'Safe Conversations™ Workshop' goes beyond theoretical concepts, focusing on hands-on practice and actionable techniques you can implement immediately. With expert guidance and train Safe Conversations ™ facilitators, from Maren and Simon, you'll gain practical de-escalation methods and tools for genuine empathy, ensuring a different, more effective outcome.


Master Active Listening: Develop the ability to truly hear and understand your partner's perspective without interruption or judgment.

Articulate Needs and Feelings: Learn to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs clearly and respectfully, fostering open dialogue.

Navigate Conflict Constructively: Acquire strategies to approach disagreements as opportunities for shared solutions and strengthened bonds.

Build Empathy and Understanding: Cultivate a deeper appreciation for your partner's experiences and emotional landscape.

Practice De-escalation Techniques: Gain practical methods to calm intense discussions and create a safe space for vulnerability, releasing judgment and criticism.


Who This is For

This workshop isn't just for couples in crisis; it's for any individual or couple looking to deepen their connection, enhance understanding, and proactively strengthen their bond. Even healthy relationships benefit from refining communication skills, navigating daily stressors, conflict resolution, and setting clear goals together. Think of it as a relationship tune-up, ensuring your partnership thrives for years to come.


What You’ll Walk Away With

Consider the long-term cost of unresolved conflict and miscommunication in your relationship—emotional toll, distance, and even professional setbacks. The 'Safe Conversation Workshop' is a modest investment in your relationship's future, designed to equip you with lifelong tools that far outweigh the one-time cost.

  • Improve communication, deepen intimacy, or better manage daily stressors and conflict resolution.
  • Learn to set clear relationship goals and develop strategies to achieve them.
  • Strategies for life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, career change) and want to strengthen their partnership proactively.
  • 3.5-hour workshop includes light snacks and beverages
  • 30-minute complimentary coaching session
  • Participants will receive a discount on the Transformative Relationship Journey Course for only $99 (a $300 value).
  • Optional to join group dinner after the workshop (additional charge).

"Simon and Maren were great! Calming and energetic at the same time – informative and actionable topics on SafeConversations and overall, great rhythm together. Excellent training session, I recommend anyone looking to enhance their communication and relationships"  - Attendee, SafeConversations workshop August 2025
