The Art & Science of Love

A Gottman Institute Weekend Workshop

at The Brew Creek Centre in Whistler BC

Friday April 20 to Sunday April 22, 2012

With Certified Gottman Facilitators Darren & LaVerna Wilk and Lawerence & Donna Stoyanowski.

“The Gottmans’ research at the University of Washington has taught us what really makes marriages work by studying and following over 3,000 couples in three decades of research. This workshop is to teach you exactly what successful couples do to foster romance and harmony in their marriages. During the first day, you will learn how to build fondness, admiration, and closeness in your relationship. On the second day, you’ll work on conflict management while learning new and important communication skills. In this workshop, there will be many humorous stories and role plays. Couples work privately on exercises designed to address the challenges in their real-life relationship. Gottman Therapists are available to support couples one-on-one with exercises. There is no group work or public disclosure.”

“To anyone thinking they might like to go but aren’t feeling sure…Go! My husband and I agree — this was, hands down, the best money we’ve ever spent as a couple. This workshop is AMAZING.” (Kate W., Seattle) Click here to view other testimonials
