BEFORE YOU GO
The experience, in more detail
Private exercises, shared teaching
The program’s privacy language refers to the exercises between partners, not an exclusive one-couple booking. You do not have to share personal relationship details with the group. This format can suit couples who want shared teaching while keeping their conversations to themselves.
Plan for two full days
Saturday starts at 9 a.m. and Sunday at 8 a.m., with lunch breaks and an afternoon finish. This is not an overnight program. Check your event’s hotel address, particularly where venues change between dates, and allow enough travel time to attend the complete schedule.
Materials and changes of plan
Registration covers both partners and take-home learning materials. The FAQ offers an 80% cancellation refund or a transfer to another workshop without an additional charge. Ask for the conditions attached to your booking and arrange accommodation separately.
