Jody and Hannah are available to assist couples through the exercises but you will not be sharing with other couples. The workshop is designed to help get you started with all the tools you need to make deep lasting changes. And, we will have fun! Though your relationship is serious, the tone of the workshop is fun and casual. We will have local coffee, tea, and snacks.
