Couples Workshop

How to use nonverbal communication to improve your relationship and get even closer

Next training: February 12–14, 2021

Reconnect with your partner. Renew your relationship.

Learn actionable nonverbal communication skills that will help you successfully manage conflict, deepen your friendship, and improve your intimacy.

In 12 engaging hours comfortably spread out over three days, you’ll learn the importance of nonverbal communication. You’ll discover new ways to negotiate with your partner, work through long-standing issues, and ask for what you need.

All participation is voluntary. You won’t be asked to share with the group or talk about your feelings or relationship.
All couples and orientations are welcome – married or unmarried, straight or gay.
You can enjoy a massage at the resort spa, have a romantic dinner at the restaurant, or book extra time to walk the golf course. This weekend is YOUR time. Couples receive discounted hotel rates.

Nestled in Oregon’s high country, the workshop resort is a short drive from Portland, OR – but a world away from the normal day-to-day.

Join us for our Valentine’s Day weekend workshop. Spots are limited.

Michael Grinder, your workshop leader, has 40 years of experience coaching thousands of groups.  Michael was personally trained by Carl Rogers, one of the founders of client-centered psychology – and he’s been married to Gail, the love of his life, for forty-two amazing years. After attending one of John Gottman’s workshop with Gail, Michael was inspired to create this workshop. Since 2000, he’s led over 100 couples through his To Love, To Honor and To Negotiate workshop.
