Description of the Retreat
It is often said that couples need to “grow together” but has anyone ever told you how to do that?
Couples enrichment is an experience of movement and flexibility of perceptions and patterns. It focuses on accepting where a couple is in their relationship while also encouraging them to stretch themselves and their relationship, to access emotion in order to develop a deeper emotional connection, improve communication, and strengthen their bond. This approach aims to build a more fulfilling and satisfying partnership, creating a positive and rewarding relationship for both individuals involved.
