Confirmed Life A Plenty Therapeutic Retreats

Couples Retreat

This retreat is designed for couples who wish to solve issues in their relationship and/or develop a deeper and loving connection with their partner.

The topics covered in the programme include:

* Developing a greater understanding of yourself and your partner within a relationship context
* Establishing a vision which guides your relationship through its many stages and changes
* Learning to communicate more effectively with each other in a way that enhances your relationship
* Increasing intimacy and emotional support within your relationship
* Learning to solve problems effectively
* Exploring ways to improve your sex life

The retreat takes place over a weekend, where couples are asked to use this time to focus on each other in order to develop the loving relationship which meets their desires and expectations.

There will be time during the weekend, outside of the programme hours, for each couple to relax and connect with their partner in order to discuss and try out the various ideas raised within the workshop.

The retreat will take place between Saturday (10am - 6pm) and Sunday (10am - 2.00pm). One and a half hours will be set aside for lunch on Saturday and one hour on Sunday.

The programme will be facilitated within a group setting and is limited to eight couples. A workshop format will be adopted and contributions from participants are welcomed however, these are not mandatory. Exercises will be given to couples to complete in the privacy of their hotel room and the facilitators will set aside time to answer individual questions unsuitable for group discussion.

Programme Facilitators: Anne Martin and Les Simmonds are experienced therapists who hold postgraduate qualifications in Couple and Family Therapy and separately enjoy being in committed long-term relationships.
