Couple Retreat 5/31-6/1

Two-Day Couples Retreat: Reconnect, Reignite, and Restore

Join us for an enriching two-day couples retreat designed to deepen your connection and equip you with tools for a thriving relationship. You'll learn strategies to strengthen emotional and physical intimacy through engaging discussions and activities and build effective communication and conflict resolution skills.

Retreat Highlights:

• Personalized Relationship Assessment: Before the retreat, you'll complete the Prepare/Enrich assessment, an online tool that evaluates your relationship across more than 12 key areas, including communication, conflict resolution, financial management, relationship expectations, roles, and personality compatibility. The insights gained will serve as a foundation for our retreat activities, allowing us to tailor the experience to your unique relationship dynamic, as well as the needs of the group. Denise Kirsop, a Couples Specialist and Couples Retreat Lead Facilitator for OWR, is a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.

• Couples Yoga: Experience partner yoga sessions that foster trust, improve communication, and deepen your physical and emotional connection through synchronized movements and shared mindfulness.

• Relationship Tools and Education: Participate in sessions that provide practical strategies to enhance your relationship.

• Interactive Couple Exercises: Engage in activities designed to enhance intimacy, manage stress, and create personal and shared intentions for your relationship.

• Group Discussions: Connect with other couples in guided conversations to share experiences and learn from one another.

• Dedicated Time with Retreat Facilitator: Benefit from focused sessions with our experienced facilitator and couples specialist to address your specific relationship needs.

• Scenic and Relaxing Environment: Our retreat venue offers a tranquil setting, allowing you to focus on each other without daily distractions.

• Sound Journey: Immerse yourselves in a guided sound journey, where healing vibrations and frequencies promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance emotional balance, facilitating a shared meditative experience.

Benefits of Attending:

• Deepened Understanding: Gain insights into your relationship dynamics and appreciate your partner's perspective.

• Enhanced Communication: Learn effective strategies to improve dialogue and reduce misunderstandings.

• Conflict Resolution Skills: Acquire tools to navigate disagreements constructively.

• Shared Vision: Align on future aspirations and strengthen your commitment.

Whether you're dating, engaged, newlyweds, or long-term partners, the program is designed to support you in building a stronger, more fulfilling connection. This retreat is open to couples who have been in a committed relationship for at least six months.

Steps to Qualify for a Couples Retreat:

The steps are in order, and all must be completed BEFORE the retreat. Coordinating schedules and completing sessions takes time so do not delay in completing these steps.

1. Application

2. 30-Minute Introductory Meeting — Once we receive your application, an OWR couples specialist will reach out to schedule an introductory meeting to explore your goals and next steps.

3. Brain-Based Healing (BBH) Sessions (each partner must complete an individual session) — This session supports personal healing and preparation for deeper relationship work.

4. Couples Counseling Session — After completing your introductory meeting and individual BBH sessions, you’ll be ready to schedule your couples counseling session.

5. Retreat Placement — Once all steps above are completed, we will add you to the Couples Retreat list. Placement depends on availability and scheduling, and we’ll work to get you into an upcoming retreat.

6. Prepare-Enrich Assessment — Once you have been assigned a retreat date, each partner must complete the Prepare/Enrich Assessment at least 2–3 weeks before the retreat. Denise Kirsop, Retreat Lead Facilitator, will send the info for the assessment.
