Couple Enrichment Contemplative Weekend Retreat - May 2016

Come away and rest a while with your beloved at a Couple Enrichment retreat in a beautiful lakeside home in Hickory, North Carolina (just off I-40, midway between Greensboro and Asheville, NC). 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 nature as well as to relax alone or with your beloved. 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 Friends Couple Enrichment and with the support of the Durham Friends Meeting. Mike and Marsha Green are trained leaders in the Couple Enrichment and have been offering workshops and retreats to couples and parents for over 20 years.

$290/couple, includes 2 nights lodging & all meals.  Register by April 1 for a $40 discount.  To register, contact Mike and Marsha at marshaquaker@gmail.com.  A $100 registration fee is requested to reserve your spot. 

No childcare is provided. 

The house is rented through lunchtime on Monday, May 9. Couples wanting to spend an extra night at the house with Mike and Marsha are welcome to do so for an additional $50.

Friday, May 6, 2016 - 5:00pm to Sunday, May 8, 2016 - 1:00pm
