Lesbian Couples CoHearts
As you return to life as usual after the exhilarating experience of a couples retreat, it is easy to let the re-energizing life you are breathing into your relationship to slowly take a back seat. Relationships are a practice and they take effort; the right effort.
What is the Goal of Couples Cohorts?
The Monthly Couple’s Cohort is designed to build on the momentum of your retreat experience and offers you two powerful safe-guards for your relationship:
1. Shared accountability with your Utah tribe of love-growing buddies;
2. Opportunities to continue nourishing your relationship with new skills, practices and insights in a safe environment with your Utah-tribe.
What happens in the sessions?
The first 10 minutes of the session each couple will mute themselves and share with each other:
- Things I appreciate about you and how you showed up for me and our relationship this past month are …
- How I’ve progressed with the one thing I committed to focus on last month is …
- One thing I want to focus on doing better this month is …
Then, when we reconvene, each couple will have one partner designated to summarize the following in 3 minutes or less:
- Two things we did well … (top 2 things from gratitudes)
- Our focus for this coming month…
The goal is to get a quick snapshot of each couple and a clear picture of what matters most for each couple at this point in time. This will help determine the best way to use the remaining 90 minutes of our session together.
After each couple checks-in, we will process an issue (similar to the retreat experience) based on what couples checked-in about.
This may involve one couple doing a dialogue (either the wholehearted dialogue or a new dialogue that I teach), or a group discussion about the topic. I will naturally share new skills, concepts, and offer new dialogues when applicable.
This is a fluid experience and my goal is to help you nourish your relationships in ways that encourage you to love your self and one another as well as possible.
How many monthly sessions will there be?
Couples are asked to commit to 3 consecutive monthly sessions at a time. This provides continuity and stability for the cohort sessions, as well as an opportunity to actively recommit to nourishing your relationship every 3 months. (It also allows us to adjust the schedule for the upcoming 3 months, as necessary).
