Rebecca also has a private psychotherapy practice in South Minneapolis
Conflict and being triggered in our primary relationship is painful, but it is also a key opportunity to grow as an individual and as a couple. This retreat provides the time and the space to safely examine obstacles that stand in the way of living a nurturing, intimate and passionate life with yourself and your partner. You may also wish to simply revitalize your bond rather than focus on communication challenges.
Most exercises are practiced between you and your partner with private coaching from facilitators.
This retreat focuses on identifying and deepening your strengths and bond as a couple and offers opportunity to reconnect with one another unimpeded and remember and revitalize what keeps you connected. Couples will learn or enhance skills of listening and communication to practice non-defensive listening and communication in the spirit of curiosity, presence and practice.
This Retreat is led by Rebecca and Terry. They have been together for 17 years and have led retreats together for 12 years and have studied experiential and transpersonal couples work in the Bay area and in their own relationship. Rebecca is a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in private practice in South Minneapolis. Her specialties include couples experiential work and guiding couples to stay on the same side. Rebecca and Terry have led couples retreats over the past 15 years.
