Our retreat is great for committed couples of all stages:

​​

  • Empty nesters married for decades wanting to reconnect with each other

  • Newer couples wanting to learn more about each other and selves to get ahead of conflict

​

  • Couples who deeply love each other, but due to work, kids, or other reasons feel disconnected

*For some coupes, conflict may be too intense to be appropriate for a one-weekend retreat. If you are experiencing unsettling conflict or the sense of nearing separation, more personalized services will be a better match for you.
