"An engaging and inspiring weekend that will transform your relationship!"

A very special Art & Science of Love Couples Workshop, the world-renowned weekend workshop developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman in Seattle, is coming to Southern California in March, 2024. Our workshop will be held in a peaceful setting in the beautiful and relaxing waterfront environment of Marina Village in Mission Bay, in sunny San Diego, California, and is limited to the first thirty couples to register.

Each of the presenters will offer a unique window into the tools and skills that have made the Gottman Method the most widely recognized approach to solving couples' challenges here and around the globe. We'll use a variety of approaches including mini-lectures, up to the minute science-based experiences, entertaining and informative videos and role-plays by the presenters of the essential skills. 

The new Art and Science of Love Couples toolbox will be given to each couple; this includes a workbook, interesting and playful card decks and even more valuable tools and skills.

All of the impactful learning exercises are done privately (there is no group work, sharing, or public disclosure) either in the large, comfortable Dockside Room or outside on the spacious grounds of the conference center. The Workshop Leaders and their assistants will be roving among the couples, ready to provide assistance to the two of you as you practice the new tools and skills you'll be learning.

What You'll Learn:

At the workshop, couples learn and practice how to:

  • Foster respect, affection, and closeness
  • Build and share a deeper connection with each other's inner world
  • Keep conflict discussions calm
  • Break through and resolve conflict gridlock

What You'll Discover:

  • Learn to recognize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what to do if they are attacking your marriage.
