BEFORE YOU GO
The experience, in more detail
A small group, not a large seminar
The FAQ describes group intensives with a maximum of five couples and two counselors. Ask how time is divided between shared work and private conversation, and what agreements apply to information shared within the group.
Both spouses can have a planning conversation
The team offers to speak privately with a hesitant spouse without pressure. That conversation can clarify the program and expectations before a booking is made. Participation should be discussed directly rather than inferred from one partner’s interest.
Ask about payment options during intake
The FAQ describes payment plans and scholarships for qualifying couples. Availability and eligibility are individual matters. Ask what assistance can apply to the exact program being quoted and when a decision would be made.
