Couples Retreat

PictureCouples Retreat Bring Back the Zing
What are Couples Retreats?
Couples Retreats are an excellent opportunity to take time out to reconnect with your partner.  In our time-strapped world, many couples find that juggling all the roles and responsibilities can leave them with little time for ‘Us’.
Couples can end up putting more time into their children or work, and forget that a relationship needs time, skill and nurturing, just like anything else important.
 
During the retreat, you will learn the skills and attitudes to explore the blocks getting in the road, and how to move forward to create a conscious, succulent and sustainable relationship that you might only have dreamed of.

​The goal is to move you from Surviving to Thriving.
 
Where are retreats held?
Couples Retreats are held in a private residence in the beautiful town of Bellingen on the mid north coast of NSW. Address given on confirmation.
 
Who is your Facilitator?
Sessions are facilitated by your LoveCoach, Frances Amaroux, BA Psych. - who has over 25 years of experience working with singles and couples – both as a counsellor and coach. See more:   http://www.lovecoaching.com/about/
 
How it works…
If I haven’t met you previously, or you have any questions – we can schedule a ½ hour FREE skype or phone intro session. 
 
Preparation
1. At least 1 week prior to the Retreat, I would like you both to do the Prepare-Enrich online inventory.
You will separately receive an email that gives you all the instructions to fill in the inventory online.  
This will provide an excellent, scientifically validated self-report description of your relationship. For more info see http://www.prepare-enrich.com. 
The inventory costs $50 and will be included in your invoice.
 
2. You will also be invited to answer some other questions. Please email your responses to me at least 3 days prior to your attendance.
