This comprehensive, science-based couple and marriage workshop & retreat is appropriate for premarital, engaged, married, cohabiting, gay, straight, happy or struggling couples. All of the ideas presented to you will be grounded in sound and extensive research brought to you from the Gottman Relationship Institute. You will learn what actually works in relationships that are happy and stable.
~ No public discussion or disclosure is involved. All work is done as a couple. ~
The Art & SCIENCE of Love workshop was designed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It is based on Dr. John Gottman’s leading edge research involving over 3,000 couples spanning the past three decades. Gottman is the author of 190 published academic articles, and best selling author or co-author of over 40 books including “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work”, “What Makes Love Last”, “The Relationship Cure”, “Why Marriages Succeed or Fail”, and the newest book, "Fight Right”.
Your presenter is Lisa Lund, MFT, a Master Certified Gottman Therapist, lecturer & trainer, and workshop leader directly trained by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Lisa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of counseling experience treating couples.
The Art and Science of Love Workshop is designed to strengthen your relationship through engaging presentations and skill building exercises that are grounded in research. Lisa will share many humorous stories, film clips and role plays. During the first day, you will learn how to build and maintain fondness, admiration, and closeness in your relationship or marriage. On the second day, you will work on conflict management while learning new and important communication skills. All of the exercises are designed to address your real-life challenges and you will work only with your partner. During the exercises, the presenters remain available to consult with those couples who desire help. There is no group work or public disclosure. This is an experiential, psycho-educational workshop for couples, and is not therapy. The workshop is a terrific weekend couple getaway. At the end of the workshop you will leave with a greater understanding of your relationship and the skills to repair or enhance it.
Research shows that on average, couples wait six years from the first signs of problems before they seek help. The workshop is designed to strengthen your marriage and/or relationship. If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with insights and tools to make it a great one. If your relationship is distressed, this workshop will provide a road map for repair. If you are dealing with domestic violence, serious drug or alcohol addiction, or serious mental health problems this workshop may not be appropriate for you. In these cases, please consult with Lisa.
