Enhance Your Relationship Workshop
2019-04-07 13:30 - 17:00 | The Village Hive, 55 Albert St #105, Markham, Ontario, L3P 2T4, Canada
Reconnect, reinvigorate and reboot your relationship.
The Enhance your Relationship workshop is based on adapted content of Dr. John Gottman’s The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Workshop. We are looking at bringing the highlights of that workshop, in addition to our joint decades of work in the field of psychotherapy, to help you! The workshop doesn’t require participants to share personal struggles with the larger group, it rather allows for participants to gain the tools and then decide how they will apply it to their relationship. We’ll specifically be looking at reconnection, fostering admiration, conflict resolution and how to get past having the same arguments again and again.
$98/couple or $55/person

This workshop helps participants reconnect to self, through exercises relating to their self-talk, fostering self-compassion and self-love. Participants will also reflect on their wants and expectations in a relaitonship. Beyond that the facilitators will be sharing some of the known relationship stumbling blocks and how you can overcome them to help create a lasting relatonship.

Elite Counselling & Consulting is pleased to host, Ms. Amreeta Kaur, MSW, RSW facilitating this Workshop
When we are busy hustling for worth and belonging with others, we tend to build a wall around ourselves to protect from criticism and judgement. This wall also blocks feelings of inner love and acceptance. This Valentine’s Day workshop is geared for adults who are looking to break down this wall and create space to re-connect to themselves.
Based on Brene Brown’s book, The Gifts of Imperfection, and her highly experiential workshop, Daring Greatly™, you will be invited to an interactive conversation about shame, vulnerability, and how to begin to live wholeheartedly. This workshop will offer you tools to build trust, empathy, and self-compassion.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Please note that the building is not wheelchair accessible.
We hope to see you there! Select link to register.
