Refreshing Relationships™

    What would be different in your life if you were already in the relationship you always
    dreamed of?

    Your Refreshing Relationships™ weekend will take you and your love relationship to
    the next level in closeness, connectedness, and optimism about your future together.

    Refreshing Relationships™ will provide a safe and structured environment to uncover
    and examine unconscious attitudes and beliefs that are keeping you from experiencing
    the full benefit of a close, connected love relationship.  You will gain specific, powerful
    tools that help in maintaining your personal happiness, resolving conflict, and
    communicating more effectively.  No matter where your relationship is, or what issues
    you may be grappling with, you will end the weekend feeling closer and more connected
    with your partner than you may have ever thought possible.  

    “The Refreshing Relationships™ course was for me a fantastic opportunity to regain
    closeness with my wife. During the weekend, I could feel that we were getting much
    closer again. The course was very good at helping me to see where my feelings and
    behavior were creating annoyance and distance and how to be more effective at what
    I really want: closeness to my wife. We did some great exercises and I felt that we
    were falling in love again.  As a highlight of the weekend my wife asked me to marry
    her again. Of course, I said, “yes!”
            Dr. Dirk Hondmann, MBA, Ph.D, IN

    to “get away” from their normal distractions for the entire weekend.

    your partner an honoring 1-hour Adventure that will be the highlight of their
    weekend.
  • You will gain the skills to create delight and closeness at the very moment that
    you are feeling blamed or attacked.

    What are the beneficial results of attending Refreshing Relationships™?

  • As a result of feeling more loved and supported at home, you will be more willing
    to take risks in your life and go for your dreams.
  • Interact in a more loving and optimistic way because you see how much control
    you have over what you want your relationship to be and making it how you want.
  • You will enjoy more meaning and satisfaction from everything you do because
    you have expanded the purpose for your relationship.

    concludes by noon on Sunday.  
  • As preparation for the course you will complete a Course Information Sheet.  
    This will help you gain clarity, provide insight for the instructors about both you
    and the dynamics of the relationship, and can be a source of discussion with your
    partner if you decide to share.
  • Dress is casual – although you may want to bring something special for the
    Adventure you plan for your partner.
