Come away and rest a while with your beloved in beautiful Montreat. This is a time to renew, restore, and refresh your precious relationship for you, for your community, and for the world.

The weekend is designed as a retreat, not a workshop, with invitations to explore your relationship with your partner. Opportunities will be offered to share in the group. For some meals we will hold the silence. There will be times to rejuvenate in the beauty of a mountain setting whether through walking or simply sitting on the porch in a rocking chair.

The intent is to deepen intimacy, hone our capacity to listen to one another and to the Spirit which enlivens our relationships, and to identify growing edges

This retreat is open to any couple in a committed relationship, regardless of legal status. It is offered under the care of the Couple Enrichment program of Friends General Conference and with the support of the Durham Friends Meeting.

Mike and Marsha Green are trained leaders in the Couple Enrichment program of Friends General Conference of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). They have been offering workshops and retreats to couples and parents for over 20 years.

of peace for themselves, their families, their communities and the world.
