Recognize the symptoms that your relationship is losing energy
How incredibly empowering would it feel to know how to maintain a vibrant ongoing relationship?
What if you create your best years together yet to come?
Now is the time to seize the moment to refill your relationship reserves before they run dry.
At Coaching to Connection we offer brief, intensive retreats to help you, and your partner move through your stuck habits to a more mutually meaningful and enjoyable relationship. Take charge and change direction to prevent irreparable relationship consequences in the future. Learn new skills for breaking through old patterns that have held you back from breaking the mold you’re in.
Showing up with a willingness to make changes is where your retreat journey begins!
Your own future is what needs your attention now, and this is the place and the time to reveal and reflect.
We love this special, exciting, challenging, and spiritual time in people’s lives the most—it’s time to grow!
Together, we will board the “submarine” and dive deeply into the places where the answers are waiting to be heard and transformed.
Our days together will be filled with a unique and varied coaching process that is always in the moment and always tailor-made for both of you and each of you individually.
We follow and stimulate the needs and mood of each unique couple as it serves each of you as a partner.
Being in a committed partnership of any kind is a long term project.
That’s a long time- what are you going to do? Who do you want to become? How do you feel about your own life, changing, developing, aging? All of these needs, wants, dreams for both partners feed into the identity of “ the couple.”
Three beings must be served: me, you & us.
So, get started and let’s sort out your relationship puzzle together!
We focus directly and immediately on the needs of you as a couple that are not being met. Over this 4 day retreat, you will receive roughly 20 hours of intensive coaching with two experienced life coaches. In addition, you may choose options for a single or couple’s massage, dining out and taking walks to have time to allow the coaching process to absorb and re-inspiration to happen!
You will also spend time to reflect, write, create, dream, and listen to the voice of your heart. There are so many quiet and cozy places in or around town to take breaks.
You will start seeing your life and yourself through a new lens, get ideas about what steps you might take next, get to know each other in different ways.
“You will discover who you’ve become to yourself and each other in this relationship”.
“To grow into our largest best selves, we must be able to claim our own lives. We must sort out what we truly desire and then go for it.” Mary Pipher said it beautifully – this is why we all came here! Let’s go for it.
You will feel how great it is to unapologetically take care of yourself, your needs first so you make better choices about who, what, why, and how you give to others, particularly your partner!
You’ll be relieved, energized, and excited so you engage and reclaim your feelings again!
You will feel much lighter, cleared-eyed and able to see the beauty in yourself and your partner so you can feel good about your life!
You will discover how you’ve fallen short of caring for some of your deeper needs, so you can reprioritize and include your needs more effectively in your daily living!
You will find new perspectives on past events and loyalties that have bound you, so you can gently release these burdens to be free to move on.
You will gain a new understanding for the choices you make and the challenges you face by taking the time to review your lives together.
You will feel re-empowered to claim the most important purpose and meaning for your life now as a couple and for your future together– this is your centerpiece for planning and decision-making.
You will both experience a shift in your perspective so you can realize new opportunities for your life as a couple and you will get ongoing support to implement the changes you want to make into your daily lives, individually and together.
YOU bet!

All payments must be paid in full and received by our office no later than 2 weeks prior to the retreat event. We cannot make exceptions to this policy.
If cancellation occurs 120 or more days before departure, there will be no loss of your trip deposit.
Any cancellation made between 90-119 days will result in a total loss of your $750 USD trip deposit. Any cancellation received in writing from 60-89 days will result in in a loss of 50% of the trip price. Any cancellation between 59 days and the trip departure will result in a total loss of funds. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it does not meet the trip minimum (if we do so, your trip deposit is refunded).
Trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended if there is a possibility that you might have to cancel your trip. All cancellations and/or any refund requests must be made in writing (no calls) to info@coachingtoconnection.com before the start date of our retreat. Keep in mind that once your retreat payments become non-refundable as delineated in our cancellation policy above, there will be NO refunds, and you will need to report your cancellation to your trip cancellation insurance provider for reimbursement.
Coaching to Connection reserves the right to cancel any retreat prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including an insufficient number of participants or logistical problems (e.g. acts of God, war, strikes, etc.), which may impede trip operations. The refund of all payments as described in the paragraph below shall release Coaching to Connection from any further liability. A trip cancellation due to insufficient numbers would normally occur at least a month prior to departure, unless acts of God, war, strikes or other events impede our departure causing large numbers of participants opt to cancel participation on the journey in the last days before departure.
Coaching to Connection must make substantial payments to suppliers (including providers of land travel) far in advance of the scheduled date on which we embark. If a trip is cancelled due to forces beyond our control (acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), Coaching to Connection will promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not advanced to suppliers. Coaching to Connection will use its best efforts to recover advance payments as promptly as possible, and will refund to you the amount recovered, if any. However, Coaching to Connection does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and our use of best efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of any legal proceeding in foreign lands. This policy applies to a trip cancellation by client choice following any necessary increase in trip costs.
