Not a therapy session, or marriage counseling, or an encounter group, Couple Enrichment provides a nurturing environment in which partners in committed relationships can experience personal growth and strengthened relationships through deepened understanding, increased intimacy, and mutual fulfillment. LGBTQ couples have unique needs not always addressed in mixed groups; we offer this workshop to meet these needs. In the supportive workshop community, couples gain new skills and practice in communication, conflict resolution, and creating intimacy. Couples work in pairs and also share with the group on topics of their own choosing.
