A cozy, intimate workshop that will transform your relationship!
A very special and private Art & Science of Love Couples Workshop limited to seven couples held in a peaceful retreat style setting in the WindanSea Beach area of scenic La Jolla, California. The new Art and Science of Love Couples toolbox will be be given to each couple; this includes a workbook, interesting and playful card decks and more.
All three days of the retreat include lectures, science-based information, videos and role plays by Trish and a colleague from the Center for Couples Therapy, discussion about the content, and exercises that you will do only with your partner. When hearing information, we will be seated together in a comfortable living area. When it comes time to do exercises, you may move to special outdoor spots on the patios or garden areas, one of which has an ocean view. You will not be pressured to disclose anything publicly. Because of the small size of the group, there will be more one-on-one support time with Trish Stanley.
For added comfort and processing time, we have scheduled the workshop in three parts: Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday morning.
Times:
Friday Evening - 3:30pm - 7:00pm
Saturday - 9:00am - 5:00pm
Sunday - 9:00am - 1:00pm
Location : Private retreat location in the WindanSea Beach area of beautiful La Jolla, California. Address and directions will be sent to confirmed attendees.
IMPORTANT: Our commitment to attendees is that both members of each couple will be fully vaccinated. Your registration is your agreement and confirmation that this is the case for both of you.
*Note: Once registration is complete, our Intake Scheduler, Crystal Carson, will be in contact to ask a few questions prior to the Workshop to gather a little more information. The call will take 5-10 minutes.

At the workshop, couples learn how to:
- Foster respect, affection, and closeness
