The Encounter: Couples Workshop

Ever wished your relationship could be better or healthier? Most of us know or have an idea about what healthy relationships are, but are not always sure how to achieve one. Our inability to create healthy relationships comes from the lack of skills needed to achieve one. Therefore, we go into relationships and act according to the preconceptions we have about how relationships should be. We exhibit behaviors that can damage our relationships and hurt our wellbeing and how we see ourselves.

These behaviors are often called toxic because they can damage both the person that receives them and the person that exhibits them.However, not knowing how to achieve healthy relationships is not always our fault. We are not always taught from an early age that there are certain skills that we can cultivate to achieve fulfilling relationships that can help remove toxic behaviors in relationships.

How Can We Help

The good news is that it is never too late to learn and cultivate the skills necessary to achieve and maintain healthy relationships. If you are in a committed relationship and want to learn these skills, we may have workshops that can help.

What Are Encounter Workshops?

The Encounter is a C.O.R.E. FIT workshop designed to help improve the health of couples and decrease the toxic patterns of interaction that plague many couples and destroy their shared unions. This workshop will help couples develop relational goals and skills to build healthy, trusting, and loving relationships where couples can be authentic, emotionally connected, accountable, fulfilled, and have an invigorated sex life. These benefits of healthy relationships, vital to successful living, will help couples maximize their hopes and dreams.

The Encounter is delivered in a getaway retreat group format that is both didactic and experiential. These skills are learned through instruction, group discussion, and the use of physical fitness exercises as metaphor to work through challenges and practice skill building. Couples will have the opportunity to learn from each other and feel supported by group members who also seek to strengthen their relationships. The Encounter also includes an action maintenance support plan that includes accountability, community support, and resources to sustain couple’s growth post workshop.
