Experience: Fall Couples' Renewal
Newport Beach,
Rhode Island:
October 1 - 4, 2009:
Want to "jump start" your relationshiip? This is the opportunity you've been hoping for! Coming the first weekend in October: a beautiful long weekend in Newport, with plenty of time alone to enjoy yourselves, and just the right amount of individual and group coaching to truly restore your relationship! Meet with me for four days in Newport, Rhode Island, away from the everyday pressures that make it difficult to focus on your relationship. I will guide you to your hearts with daily private sessions, and give you suggestions to carry out together in the privacy of your own rooms. You will also meet daily with me and four other, carefully selected couples to learn relationship skills. You will experience:
Lessons in resolving common couple differences | Relatxation and mindfulness techniques | Utilizing Tantric principles.
More information about the Reconnections Experience:
I have twenty plus years of guiding best friends back to being the intimate partners they once were.
I can help.
Prior to the retreat experience, couples:
Are asked to submit their application which includes a brief written summary of current relationship strengths, concerns, and goals for the weekend.
During the retreat experience, couples:
Will meet as a couple on a daily basis with me as well as participate in a daily two hour group education experience with a maximum of four other couples in which information on communication and other relationship skills will be presented in an engaging and non-threatening series.
-
Will learn how to experience mindfulness and relaxation through a series of experiential exercises.
-
Will be given the opportunity, in the group setting, to practice communication skills and learn various techniques to improve problem solving and intimacy
-
Will be invited to incorporate Tantric techniques as one modality of experiencing renewed connection.
-
Will carry out suggested sensual/sexual experiences in the privacy of their accommodations; these structured learning experiences will be processed in the daily couple coaching sessions. The series of structured sensual exercises are intended to re-establish comfort and trust and reconstitute the couples sensual and sexual relationship.
-
Can experience a jump start effect which can be re-integrated into their everyday life. The long weekend experience leaves plenty of time to learn as well as to relax together without the normal interruptions of life.
After the retreat experience, couples:
Are scheduled for three monthly coaching check-ins (by phone, of up to 30 minutes each) to help assure a successful transition back into the pressures of everyday life. These check-ins are intended to help sustain the progress made on the retreat.
A note about sexual difficulties:
A lack of desire for sexual relatedness and/or sexual boredom are the common threads for couples who have become disengaged. These sexual concerns will likely improve dramatically as a result of this weekend experience.
-
Sexual difficulties such as erectile dysfunction, orgasmic or pain difficulties will require additional attention. Couples experiencing these challenges are also encouraged to attend the weekend. The couple may then choose to continue with a local sex therapist or arrangements can be made to contract with me to address the remaining issues.
-
For your comfort I'd like you to know that at no time will individuals or couples be asked to engage in physically intimate activities outside of their own rooms. I am a therapist who works through communication with couples rather observational or demonstrative methods. Your privacy is paramount.
