This is an interactive and fun workshop. You will listen to a few mini-lectures, watch short video clips, see some demonstrations of the exercises, and get an opportunity for you and your partner to do the exercises for 10-15 minutes. When the group reconvenes, we’ll discuss our thoughts on the exercises. There are no questions about your personal discussion or circumstances -- we will talk only about what the exercise was like for you. You will receive support, and encouragement to help guide you through the process.
Workshops will be offered every 3-6 months and space is limited to 10 couples. Dates will fill up fast, so please reach out today by filling out the form below.
There are two formats for our workshops: in person and online.
If you have questions, please email me at jena@littleseedcounseling.com. I’m here to answer your questions about the workshop. I hope to welcome you to this wonderful workshop that will help you improve your relationship.
