I see You: The Uniqueness of WE

A Wonderwell Live Online Daylong Workshop for Couples

“May you ever see the other as a stranger.”…is the spiritual necessity of not being fooled by familiarity.  It is easy to assume you know all about a person, especially someone with whom you share a daily life—the very assumption stifles the wonder, dulls your perceptions of that person’s extraordinariness.”  ~Joanna Macy

We all want to be seen and appreciated, especially by our partners, especially when life as usual is no longer guaranteed. But the human condition is to habituate and forget, to take for granted, so that what is important becomes less visible. And if something is not seen it cannot be valued and appreciated.

Throughout the day couples will work alone together in their dyads creating space to see and be seen, to know and be known, to be appreciated, to honor each other’s otherness, and once again, to touch into the uniqueness of ‘we’.

This day-long workshop is for people who identify as a couple. No other requirements needed!

Short talks, guided meditations and exercises will support couples to do their work in the privacy of dyads. Sharing is optional. No one will be put on the spot.

Wonderwell Mountain Refuge strives to offer retreats in a manner that is non-cost prohibitive and inclusive to persons of all means. If the full retreat cost would create an undue financial burden, we encourage persons to apply for scholarship and work-study. Whether one needs to request aid to defer a large or small portion of the cost of a retreat so as not to incur a financial burden, we strive to accommodate you. This link will take you to information about our work-study and scholarship possibilities.
