Interwoven:The Love Prescription/ Connection in Motion - Wheel of Gratitude

At The Station Foundation, we believe that connection is both a practice and a lifeline. This series was created to help couples rediscover rhythm, trust, and joy; not through perfection but through presence.

Special Operations Forces Couples are invited to spend the morning with The Station Foundation for The Love Prescription: Connection in Motion - Wheel of Gratitude, a mindful pottery wheel experience designed to restore rhythm, presence, and partnership. Working with clay as a primal, grounding mode of expression, couples will transform raw material into a functional piece while practicing the same skills that sustain healthy connection: patience, attunement, and gentle communication. At the wheel, every movement becomes an act of listening, shared pressure, subtle adjustments, and intentional pauses, mirroring how relationships are shaped through awareness and trust rather than perfection. This experience offers space to return to calm together, engage curiosity, increase self-awareness, and strengthen the ability to stay present through small moments of effort and repair. It is an invitation to slow down, release perfection, and remember that love, like clay, is formed with steady hands, soft focus, and the willingness to begin again.

Connection, like working with clay, isn’t about a perfect result; it’s about presence. “Small things often.” - John & Julie Gottman

The Love Prescription: Connection in Motion brings the research of Drs. John and Julie Gottman have a lived experience. Their seven principles for deeper connection form the foundation of this three-part series, adapted for the unique rhythms of military and service life.

Each event of Connection in Motion blends reflection, conversation, and hands-on creation to help couples:

• Reconnect through small daily gestures of care
  
• Rebuild admiration and gratitude
  
• Communicate needs with clarity and kindness
  
• Create rituals that sustain intimacy and belonging

Through this series, we move beyond words,  learning how connection feels in motion: in breath, in trust, in laughter, in shared stillness. You are invited to bring honesty, curiosity, and courage to this process. Each event builds on simple truths that remind us: love is something we practice, and connection is a choice we make every day.

As part of our Interwoven gatherings, we will send a brief reflection email a week before each couple's activity to help you pause, connect, and arrive with intention. These reflections are designed to open a gentle conversation between partners and deepen the shared experience we create together. Your responses are an important part of our preparation, allowing us to thoughtfully plan for materials, space, and facilitation that honor every participant. 

We will expect your response forms returned to us by email 72 hours before the event to confirm your participation. This small commitment ensures that each couple’s presence is intentional and that we hold the space with care for those ready to engage fully in the experience.

This is a first-come, first-served event with a maximum capacity of 5 couples.
