In this couple's coaching workshop, learn how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, & strengthen relationships.

Our 'Safe Conversations™ Workshop' goes beyond theoretical concepts, focusing on hands-on practice and actionable techniques you can implement immediately. With expert guidance and training Safe Conversations ™ facilitators, from Maren and Simon, you'll gain practical de-escalation methods and tools for genuine empathy, ensuring a different, more effective outcome.

Let's face it: every relationship has its share of "spirited discussions" (a.k.a. arguments about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher). And at its core, conflict is really just us objecting to the fact that our partner doesn't see things exactly the way we do. Shocking, right?

While we can't promise to eliminate every squabble about the thermostat setting, we do have a solution for many relationship conflicts.

❋ Navigate Conflict Constructively

Acquire strategies to approach disagreements as opportunities for shared solutions and strengthened bonds.

❋ Build Empathy and Understanding

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Practice De-escalation Techniques

Gain practical methods to calm intense discussions and create a safe space for vulnerability, releasing judgment and criticism.

❋ Joy & Intimacy

Learn to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs clearly and respectfully, fostering open dialogue

What You’ll Walk Away With

Consider the long-term cost of unresolved conflict and miscommunication in your relationship—emotional toll, distance, and even professional setbacks. The 'Safe Conversation Workshop' is a modest investment in your relationship's future, designed to equip you with lifelong tools that far outweigh the one-time cost.

  • Improve communication, deepen intimacy, or better manage daily stressors and conflict resolution.

  • Learn to set clear relationship goals and develop strategies to achieve them.

  • Strategies for life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, career change) and want to strengthen their partnership proactively.

  • 3.5-hour workshop includes light snacks and beverages

  • 30-minute complimentary coaching session

Who This is For

This workshop isn't just for couples in crisis; it's for any individual or couple looking to deepen their connection, enhance understanding, and proactively strengthen their bond. Even healthy relationships benefit from refining communication skills, navigating daily stressors, conflict resolution, and setting clear goals together. Think of it as a relationship tune-up, ensuring your partnership thrives for years to come.

FAQs

What if my partner isn’t open to it?

1

It's common for one partner to be more hesitant. It's an investment in your shared future and happiness. Focus on the positive outcomes—less stress, deeper connection, and more joyful interactions—rather than implying there's something 'wrong.' Individuals or couples can join!


Do I have to share personal information in the workshop?

2

While our workshops are interactive, sharing personal details beyond what you're comfortable with is never required. The focus is on learning and practicing universal communication skills in a supportive group setting. Your privacy and comfort are paramount, ensuring you can gain valuable insights.


Isn’t this something we can solve on our own?

3

While many couples try to navigate challenges independently, expert guidance can accelerate progress and provide proven strategies you might not discover otherwise. We help you avoid common pitfalls and build stronger foundations more efficiently.

  • I have spent several years in counseling in both individual and couples counseling. Then I spent 3 hours on a Saturday with Maren and Simon and experienced one of the deepest conversations with my wife of 15 years of marriage. This was a game changer!
