Description:
This day is an opportunity for couples to awaken the heart of joy and love together. To be intimate, we must learn to be fully present. Through partner meditations, verbal and nonverbal communication exercises, and group sharing, couples will practice the art of intimacy and learn new skills to deepen the shared journey.
Debra and George, both psychotherapists and married for 43 years, bring a wealth of experience, creativity, and humor to the topic of awakening through relationship.
Important Note: This event is not appropriate for attending alone, as the majority of the day will be spent in partner practice. BOTH partners must register for the program separately, even if you will be sharing a Zoom account.
Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.
