Our 4 and 5-day immersive lesbian retreats for couples are equivalent to 3-12 months of couples counseling depending on your willingness to bring your whole self to the experience.
Many couples share frustrations about their counseling experiences, which include:
having to educate the counselor about their lesbian relationship
lack of understanding about issues unique to same-sex relationships
difficulty clicking with or relating to the therapist
feeling like the entire session is spent reliving your interactions from the week before
leaving the session feeling worse
intensified conflict and tension after sessions
feeling like the therapist favors one partner over the other
Trusting your relationship with someone is difficult – as it should be! There is no greater investment you make in your life than the investment you make in your primary relationship. We take your relationship very seriously.
When you invest in an Adventures in Love Retreat for Lesbian Couples, you are choosing an experience that was built specifically for your relationship by a trained couples coach with over 20 years of lesbian relationship counseling experience and significant education, training and credentials in couples counseling.
For 4 to 5 consecutive days, you will be offered a strong, safe container to unpack your relationship dynamics, spend time looking at them, understanding them, and developing new skills and strategies to help you create more effective ways of relating.
You are not opened up and left feeling uncomfortable and unravelled only to be told, “Times up, I’ll see you next week.”
Instead, we are with you at each step of the process. We will gently, yet directly, challenge you when necessary and support you and encourage you along the way. We know that what you feel and experience is real, even if it differs from what your partner feels and experiences. There’s enough room to hold both of your experiences, to allow them to unfold and safely co-exist.
We are always on the side of your relationship – not one partner or the other. Our goal is to create the safest, most accepting environment for each couple so you can do the work that awaits you.
