Workshops for Couples

One Weekend Can Make Such a Difference!

The skills created such a safe environment for us to communicate that we were able to say things to each other and share hopes and hurts that we had never dreamed possible.
My husband and I experienced a quantum leap in our intimacy in this one weekend. With your help, we learned to leave our egos and self-righteousness behind, which enabled us to connect and really communicate, almost for the first time.

These comments by attendees at a Mastering the Mysteries of Love (MML) workshop for couples tell the heart of the story. They talk about the benefits of learning and using skills for a lifetime of love. Nurture your relationship by attending this special opportunity to concentrate on just the two of you for one weekend and learn how to enrich your relationship with skills of love.
