THE ODD COUPLE
FROM ROMANCE TO REALITY
This three day workshop offers a deeper exploration of relationship issues. Incorporating story, poetry, exercises and creative ritual, the days will develop emergently around themes of:
Set in the western foothills of the Brecon Beacons, our work together will provide adequate opportunities for addressing personal issues, group work and reflective time in Nature.
In the face of centuries of gender power struggles, individual dominance and "normal marital sadism" we will be seeking a clear path through the forest of twenty-first-century confusions. Join us as we seek to find ways of developing more soulful, fulfilling and compassionate relationships. If your relationship is rock solid or shaky, fresh or stale, this workshop will breathe new life in. There will be no nudity or sexual contact during the exercises in this workshop. There will be some deep personal work and ritual.
