Imagine deepening your connection with your partner in the serene beauty of Breitenbush Hot Springs, surrounded by nature’s tranquility, with no distractions—just you, your partner, and the journey to a lasting love. This weekend workshop, “Love That Lasts: Gottman’s Seven Principles for Couples,” is designed to help you strengthen your relationship, improve intimacy, and cultivate a partnership built on deep friendship, healthy conflict resolution, and shared meaning.

Why Join Us?

Tired of having the same fight over and over? Forgotten how to have fun together? Do you want to learn how to become a “master couple” and create a lifetime of love? This workshop, set in the peaceful Breitenbush environment, offers the perfect blend of practical tools and immersive experiences to revitalize your relationship.

Workshop Schedule:

  • Friday Evening: We’ll start with a short introduction and intention-setting session after dinner, allowing you to unwind and prepare for the weekend ahead.
  • Saturday Morning & Afternoon: Engage in two transformative sessions, each lasting 2 hours—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Between sessions, you’ll have ample time to soak in the rejuvenating hot springs, enjoy nourishing food, and practice new tools with your partner.
  • Sunday Morning: We’ll close with a final session to consolidate what you’ve learned and set the stage for continued growth in your relationship.

What to Expect:

This workshop includes lectures and private couple exercises, all based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman. You’ll receive the book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John Gottman, along with two workbooks. Importantly, this experience is designed to be private—you won’t be asked to share personal problems in front of others.

Key Benefits:

  • Improve friendship, fondness, and admiration.
  • Enhance romance and intimacy.
  • Learn to manage conflict constructively.
  • Gain skills to address both perpetual and solvable problems.
  • Create shared meaning and strengthen your relationship.

Who Should Attend:

This workshop is perfect for all couples in committed relationships—whether you’re newlyweds, engaged, or have been together for years. If your relationship is strong, you’ll gain insights to make it even better. If you’re facing challenges, this workshop will offer a roadmap for repair.

Why Breitenbush?

Breitenbush Hot Springs offers the ideal backdrop for this transformative experience. Disconnect from daily stressors, immerse yourself in nature, and reconnect with your partner in a setting designed to nourish both body and soul. Between sessions, enjoy the hot springs, peaceful surroundings, and the opportunity to deepen your connection.

Join us for this unforgettable weekend, and take the first step toward creating a love that lasts.
