The Couples Alive series is for people in primary relationship who want more, and are prepared to go beyond the familiar to find it.

 

Couples Alive transformational learning for couples

 

When we first meet someone, and increasingly as the stakes go up, we do our best to be seen in a positive light. It is in this exciting, and also often-uneasy times that we begin to establish the range of who and how we are in our relationship.

 

Should we suppress ourselves to make our relationship work, we are likely to experience resentment, distance, distrust and anxiety. Alternatively, each person's fully acknowledged and expressed presence can become the foundation of a solid, loving relationship. We begin to build the faith in ourselves and each other to relate at an edge of aliveness and discovery.

 

Passionate expression and healthy power-struggle can help establish growth and acceptance–as individuals and as a couple. In this program couples work to identify and share personal characteristics, beliefs and behaviours, and to go beyond 'good-bad' judgments to explore how these traits can be embraced to enhance relationship.

 

This program is for couples that want to:

  • Experience more energy, pleasure and edge
  • Develop a healthy approach to power struggles
  • Learn ways to create personal safety
  • Build solid ground for relating through risk, compassion and curiosity
  • Broaden their range of intimacy
  • Create an open and accepting environment for each person

 

Please Note:
1. The Couples Alive programs have been specifically designed to be taken in order. We strongly recommend that you take the programs in sequence.
2. Couples Alive I: Foundations is a prerequisite for all other parts of the series.

...[Couples Alive] Edge was very experiential and ... we developed reproducible and specific processes to address and resolve the most sensitive issues in our marriage. We learned to accept our shortcomings and differences in order to relate effectively... We recommend the Couples Alive Edge to any loving couple seriously interested in personal and relational growth.

We've been together for 27 years and after a recent rough spot we have now entered our sweetest spot yet as a couple, beyond what we have ever experienced before. Our qualities of warmth, closeness and intimacy have been furthered by our learning and engaging the techniques we've learned or deepened in this program.
