A Weekend of Renewal

Our Getting the Love You Want (GTLYW) workshop is uniquely designed to help couples in committed partnerships to develop and restore connection, safety and passion in their relationship. 

The workshop is designed to ‘meet’ couples wherever they are in their stage of relationship. It is renowned for its positive impact on any couple who wishes to enhance their connection, build a more meaningful, conscious relationship.


Over the weekend, Lara and I will guide you and your partner toward deeper connection and joyful aliveness using Imago Relationship Therapy, their transformational approach that allows you to experience new levels of safety, empathy, and appreciation.

 

Learn to develop the concepts and skills necessary to co-create a safe relationship, embrace conflict as an opportunity for growth, and experience a deep level of connecting.
 

Offered as an inclusive weekend and LGBTQAI+ only. See dates below

Communication Tools

One of the main aspects of the workshop is to teach couples Imago communication techniques, specifically the intentional dialogue, which is at the core of all Imago work. All couples have many opportunities to learn and practice within the safety and privacy of their own ‘couple-ship’.

My favorite part of the workshop was figuring out that I actually have power to change the conflict patterns.  I've felt really helpless for a long time, but seeing my own role in the mess was so empowering.
