About the Event

The quality of our relationships determines our fulfillment in life. While research may
lead us to believe this is true, it’s another thing to live it. In this retreat, we will create a
safe space for you to refine some aspects of your internal relationship and foster
connection with each other. As a couple, you are the author of your story.

Major Themes:

Mountain: As a couple we climb mountains in our life all the time. Sometimes we need
a place to rest, recover and recharge. San Damiano is one of those places. Come
explore its beauty.

Moments: The present moment has gifted us profound experiences in our lives. We will
share instances that have surprised, challenged, or delighted us in ways we could not
have imagined. By sharing our stories, we clear a space to move in a new direction.

Mindfulness: We will explore mindfulness. Most of us have had the natural ability to
“pay attention” conditioned out of us. Time to get it back.

Meaning: We discover what is essential for us, not just to live; rather what may give us
life. Without a rudder in our lives, we can be like a ship that moves in circles.

Muddle: A great spice can be created from multiple ingredients. The combined flavors
create something new and dynamic to the palate. Together you put together what
you’ve learned and what might have inspired you, and create a unique recipe going
forward. You can create order from the disorder.

Momentum: Sometimes we are stuck. We explore blockers and discover some
antidotes. Life will hit us and another mountain will appear. You will be ready.

You will develop actionable tools, techniques, and prompts over this weekend. Just as
we may transmit our pain if it is not addressed, we can transmit empathy and presence
with others when the opportunities arise. Sometimes we need to retreat to rise.
