Testimonials

"We were at a breaking point with our relationship. The workshop, and especially our time with the therapists, was incredible. They supported us to change course"

"It was so helpful to normalize everything; the biology of love and fear, the slog of trying to connect while parenting, the negative cycle and all the impulses to perpetuate it. The structure of the guided conversations was essential to getting us out of our 'void'."

"Being around other couples with similar challenges was comforting and helpful."

"Thank you so very much for the invaluable gifts that you all have given our relationship, Your belief in this work was a shining light throughout the weekend and I think it helped all of us be able to trust and be more vulnerable."
