The Seven Principles Couples Weekend

We are excited to host this Couples Weekend focused on The Seven Principles Workshop based on over 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman and his New York Times bestselling book, "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work."

This is a get-away couples enrichment retreat with a focus on strengthening your relationship. We will have exercises for you and your significant other to cultivate meaningful conversations and develop your “Love Map.” Confidentiality is maintained and there is time for you to practice the exercises privately. All sessions facilitated by trained Gottman Leaders: Richard & Nancy Wallace (Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training Levels 1 & 2; and Seven Principles Program Gottman Leadership Training) with bonus sessions and content provided by Dr. Jada Jackson-Hill, LMHC, LPC, NCC.
