This retreat was a Godsend for my husband and I. The Gottman-directed communication skills are amazing. It brought my husband and I to completely new levels of communication and understanding. It helped us recognize when we were in fight/flight during communication and skills to step away, process, and come back to the conversation in a more calm manner. It taught us a soft start-up to sharing hard feelings, to recognize the four horsemen, and antidotes contempt, criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling. It taught us to communicate about and understand the heart of some very difficult emotionally charged issues.

So grateful for Tina, Tori, Janae and Penney for creating a safe space for couples to explore their relationship together on a couples retreat. We would highly recommend this to any couple wanting to heal or strengthen their relationship. ”

I asked my husband to describe this last weekend and all he could say was "life changing"! After attending the Couples Camping Retreat we feel as connected as we did when we first met! We also feel confident we can work through anything and both be happy, thanks to the amazing tools and techniques we learned at the retreat.

Very impressed with Penney’s guidance, information, and exercises implemented during the retreat to promote healthy communication and connection. Janae has a very calming presence and although yoga was something that I didn't believe I would enjoy, Janae made a believer out of me. I now see that it can be an important and beneficial tool for good health

“Where do I even start with how phenomenal our couples retreat was? From the moment you walked in the door, you’re met with a safe energy that leaves you feeling at home right away. The instructors were so kind, polite, helpful, friendly, personable, and just all around great. The counselor was so knowledgeable of what she was teaching. She was able to provide real-life examples to help guide each couple through the Gottman method. My partner and I have renewed confidence in ourselves and our marriage all over again. We were able to take the tools we learned and put them to use right away. The other couples were amazing as well. As mentioned before, the energy was safe and free from judgment. The whole experience from start to finish was just incredible. If I could give a greater score than 5 stars, I absolutely would.”
