The Couples Retreat II is open to participants who have completed Couples I and understand the communication tools presented, and the patterns or 'dance' in which they engage as a couple.  It is important that participants not only have a conceptual understanding of the practices, but also are actively utilizing what they learned in their relationship.
 
In Couples II, participants will:

• Expand on your understanding of the dance in which you are engaged and learn to change steps mid-dance;
• Learn to read each other’s signals so that you are responding to what your partner is really saying versus what you think they are saying.
• Have consistent compassion for your partner, even while in the midst of disagreements;
• Develop and deepen your capacity for intimacy and the varied expressions of intimacy in relationship;
• Stand clear in your own convictions and principles, without giving up yourself for your partner;
• Become adept at fostering a deep and enriching attachment with your partner;
• Enrich and enliven your friendship with your partner;
• Learn and then put into practice ways to deepen your intimacy and expand your sexual expression in the privacy of your chalet with your partner.

Warm, comfortable private four-star lodging provided as well as nourishing meals in a family-style environment. There will be some unscheduled time where couples will have the opportunity to process with each other, hike, relax and rejuvenate their partnership.

What are people saying about continuing their work as a couple in the second level Couples Retreat?

“Couples II let me experience the “dance” we do and more importantly how to recognize and change the results and break the destructive pattern.  I experienced a much deeper understanding of our relationship, both what is working and what is not working.  I am coming away with a deeper appreciation of how important our love is, and what it really means to me.”
Dave

“The experiences this weekend opened up beautiful, amazing and relationship defining possibilities.  Actually hearing and seeing how my husband and I “dance” challenged me to be responsible for my role and to understand the pain and fears that control me.  Perhaps the greatest joy was the shift I got to make in practicing being sensitive, loving and open to my husband’s signals for support.”
Patsi

“Couples II the second time around was such a celebration of love. So amazing to be able to deepen my understanding and empathy for my partner.  This training is an opportunity to grow your relationship to even greater heights.”
Shellee

“This training offered so many distinctions for me about differentiation, responsibility, and anger in relationship.  I had huge breakthroughs in understanding myself and Corey better.  The tools and processes supported me in tangibly working through it, when I get stuck or tagged.”
Juliana

“Couples II was an amazing training for my girlfriend and I.  We created a whole level of understanding of each other and intimacy.  We learned how to “read” our partner better, and understand where each other is coming from on a deeper level.  We also learned about maintaining individuality while holding onto togetherness.”
Howard

“I came here with fears about whether our commitment to working on ourselves and our relationship were fading.  We were both hurt, busy, neglectful, and supremely irresponsible.  In the training we realized what we each need (really) and how we are missing the signals our partner gives when they need support, love or just a hug.  A pattern that seemed doomed to repeat – as if at our core we were just too different to make it work – now seems busted up.  We have tools to interpret our “dance” and connect in a way we were both longing for, but couldn’t figure out how to create.”
Kirsten & Kirk

“In Couples Two, we were able to walk through and dismantle what occurs when we argue.  With this new insight, we are now aware of many of the old wounds that keep showing up in our relationship.  We are excited and inspired to learn that there is a new possibility in our communication that will support us in having the marriage we both desire.  Thank you.”
Alen & Carrie

“Couples II was an amazing experience.  Through this workshop, I had the opportunity to create an intimate connection with my partner.  I was able to understand my partner at a new level like never before.”
Vero

“This training allowed me to take my relationship on a whole new level.  I gained understanding of myself, and how I show up in my relationship.  I became clear on how we argue and how we can handle the situation differently in support of growth in our partnership.”
Beam

“Couples II was a great experience for me to see myself authentically in my relationship.  Differentiation was powerful for my personal understanding of how I don’t value myself.  Discovering my partner’s wounds and how to support her wounds by learning about the signs benefitted the two of us.  The location was GREAT!”
Dan

“Couples II was a way to deepen and strengthen my relationship with my husband.  I saw patterns in our relationship that I had not seen previously.  This has allowed us to connect at a deeper level.  Lynne is amazing.  She has created a way for couples to love, nurture and honor their relationship.”
Cathy


“It is amazing in this Couples II training the deeper love connection created with my partner.  The growth, tools and processes exposed to in the training to create a passionate, open and connected bond with my partner that I never dreamed possible.  10 times more than Couples I.”
Ron

“Just when I thought things between us couldn’t get any better…they have – by attending this training.  We now have tools we can use to help us break up “the dance.”  It’s comforting to know I can reveal my imperfections, be myself, come from my heart, get out of my head and continue nurturing our relationship.”
Sherri

“Very enlightening and I think it will be core to my future relationship with Sherri and to me in my personal awareness and growth (or transformation).”
Bill

“This training opened up a much deeper understanding of how our childhood wounds affect our relationship and the “dance” that results.  From this we created a greater level of intimacy and connection.”
Bruce & Kammah

“Incredible eye opening to my emotional connection to my partner – carries Couples I to another level.”
