Event Details
Cost: Sliding Scale $75 – 200. Code DG1D18.
This Valentine’s Day program is an opportunity for couples to awaken the heart of joy and love together. To be intimate, we must learn to be fully present. Through partner meditations, verbal and nonverbal communication exercises and group sharing, couples will practice the art of intimacy and learn skills to deepen the shared journey.
This program is not appropriate for attending alone, as the majority of the day will be spent in partner practice.
Teachings are appropriate for the general public, as well as health care professionals. This day will help mental health professionals working with couples learn the skills of being more present and connected with a partner. This personal experience dramatically increases the professional’s ability to support clients in being more present and connected with others. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for more information.
Learning objectives for participating health care professionals. Based on the content of this workshop, health care professionals will be able to:
- Utilize meditations and exercises in a clinical setting which improve partner intimacy;
- Describe communication skills that deepen compassion and self-awareness, in ways useful to clients;
- Utilize techniques that help to strengthen one’s own ability to stay present in the movement;
- Integrate practices when working with clients to listen more deeply to a partner.
Young Adults (18-26) and Seniors (65+ with limited income) are invited to attend this day for $45.
