"such an amazing weekend........our lives are forever changed." Adam, Perth
"The difference it has made in our relationship is phenomenal. We have actually fallen in love again or is it for the first time? I cannot recall it being so intense and at such a depth the first time round." couple, Melbourne.
Who is this workshop for?
The UNIQUE DESIGN of this workshop is appropriate for you if:
- you want to enrich and deepen a good relationship.
- you are beginning a new relationship and would like to establish healthy foundations & patterns of communication.
- your relationship seems to take a back seat to everything.
- you are frustrated and keep arguing about the same old subjects.
- your long-term relationship is lacking energy, passion and a sense of connection.
- you feel hopeless and are near break-up or divorce and want to decide if and how the relationship can be changed and saved.
- you're tired of struggling with an unsatisfying relationship and want to finally Get The Love You Want!..
This 20 hour workshop has been designed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., and is similar to the one he has been giving for years, based on the theory and exercises described in his best-selling book, "Getting The Love You Want-A Guide for Couples." To quote Oprah in the October 2005 issue of “O” Magazine talking about Imago and her experience of Harville Hendrix:
“That show changed me, I saw relationships not solely as the kind of romantic pursuit our society celebrates but as a spiritual partnership that's meant to change how you see yourself and the world.”
What is included in the workshop?
Workshops include:
- A mix of lectures, demonstrations, guided imagery, written exercises, partners' dialogue, communication processes and practice.
- A manual is provided for your use to guide you through the exercises during and after the workshop.
- Confidentiality is maintained in a safe and comfortable environment. While people are invited to participate and build a supportive group atmosphere there is no pressure for self-disclosure.
- This is not group therapy. Couples often worry that they will be asked to disclose personal information within their relationship. This is not true. The majority of the workshop is private for couples in terms of what they are discussing. Often couples will come through the workshop and never say anything publicly about the inner workings of their relationship. The confidentiality and privacy of your relationship is respected and assured.
What can I expect from the workshop?
Participating in a couples workshop you can expect to:
- learn "a new way to love........"
- discover why the qualities which attracted you to your partner often drive you crazy and are also the source of conflict.
- discover that underneath most frustrations and conflict, criticisms and complaints there are unmet needs from childhood and how to get those needs met
- gain greater compassion for your partner and for yourself.
- learn new, effective communications skills and user-friendly tools to break destructive cycles of relating.
- break destructive cycles of relating. Couples learn how to channel the energy from their arguments to create passion and stability in their relationship.
- get lots more information and insights about yourself and your partner which will restore tenderness and clarify the full potential of your relationship.
- learn ways to build, nourish, strengthen and care for your relationship
- learn new tools for re-romanticizing your relationship. Re-establish the passion and excitement and pleasure of your early time together and how to create on-going daily Romance.
- help each other finish childhood.
- learn how to use your relationship for emotional healing and spiritual evolution.
- go home with a jointly created vision of what your ideal relationship will look like and knowledge of the tools necessary to take you on the journey to a safe and passionate marriage.
Our Money Back Guarantee
We are serious about your success:
- If, at the end of the workshop, you feel the information, experiences and tools have not been of benefit to you, we will refund your fee (minus manual cost).
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return."

- Saturday: 9.00am - 7.30pm
- Sunday: 9.00am - 6.00pm
- Tuesday 7.00 - 9.30pm
We invite you to come back together on the Tuesday night following the workshop. This evening is to check in, "tie up any ends" from the workshop, and as well we discuss follow up work and support networks.
We very highly recommend everyone participating in some form of on-going work/support. Along the lines of "it takes a village to raise a child" we believe it takes a community to hold/support relationships and that having an on-going relationship with others with similar concerns and values and a deep interest in creating conscious relationships greatly enhances growth and learning.
Attendance on the Tuesday evening is very highly recommended but not compulsory. We will tell you more of this on the weekend.
*Please note the Mandurah Workshops are 3 days and will be an expanded version of the normal workshop with shorter sessions daily.
