Deepening Your Love: A Retreat for Couples with Kate & Joel Feldman

The path of those of us involved in intimate relationships is extraordinarily powerful. In partnership, who we are is revealed to be so much greater than who we think we are as individuals.

This powerful retreat is about opening the compassionate heart, renewing connection, and discovering the secret to mutual trust, respect, and joyful intimacy. In an atmosphere of safety, mindfulness, and self-exploration, you will successfully transform common issues: communication, conflict, meeting each other's needs, and making time for pleasure. You will experience and learn compassionate non-reactive listening; effective sharing; expressing empathy and curiosity; the hidden needs behind frustrations; how your beliefs about relationships help or hinder your current partnership; and easy and safe ways to love each other through silence, meditation, and massage.

You will increase appreciation, develop a win-win approach to conflict, and deepen your commitment to the path of loving relationship. This program is open to couples of any length of commitment and any sexual orientation.

Kate Feldman, MSW, LCSW and Joel Feldman, CPCC, have been co-couples therapists and seminar presenters for over 20 years, beginning their spiritual path in the 1970s as founding members of Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. Their background includes Imago Relationship, Gestalt, and Internal Family Systems therapies, as well as 35 years of personal meditation and yoga practice. Kate and Joel consider their own relationship as “spiritual work in progress” and create a safe, authentic atmosphere in which couples can explore and deepen. They currently live in Durango CO, where their service is facilitating one couple at a time in 4-day marriage counseling intensive retreats.
