Reconnecting  ~  Healing  ~  Renewing

Far away from the distractions of daily life, the opportunity to work on relationships while at the same time having fun on a wonderful vacation is a powerful combination for change and healing. These factors, together with the intensity of a 5 – 7 day program and work with highly experienced senior clinicians, allow most couples and families to find avenues for reconnection, forgiveness and healing that are more difficult to achieve in more traditional therapies.

A great option for couples, families with growing children, families with adult children & families with children with special needs.

A Note from the Clinical Team

Your visit to our site suggests that you are struggling in some important aspect of your relational life. In many respects relational difficulties are inevitable in that all relationships are subject to periods of tension and distance. Unfortunately, feelings of powerlessness and sadness concerning these struggles, whether in relationship to a child, a partner or entire family casts a broad shadow on our lives. Extensive research tells us that the healing of broken relationships is not so much about resolving conflict, as it is about reestablishing emotional connection. Whether between partners, spouses, parents & children or extended family this process is largely dependent upon the dropping of defenses and allowing ourselves to move towards a deeper acceptance and empathy for one another.

As clinicians with many years of experience working with couples and families in a wide range of inpatient and outpatient settings, we believe deeply in the potential of thoughtful intervention to help heal fractured relationships. This said, we have also seen how difficult it can be to make real change in the context of busy lives, established patterns, infrequent sessions and settings that feel more clinical than real. It was in response to these factors that we developed our intensive couples and family therapy clinical retreats.

Having run these programs for over 18 years we are excited and proud of the unique opportunity we are providing couples and families to reconnect through the integration of intensive attachment focused therapy with a wonderful vacation. The opportunity to see one another in a new light through the therapy process and then to have fun together is a powerful combination.
