Husband and wife co-therapists Louise Dorfman and David Rubinstein host Marriage & Couples Counselling Retreats in the Hockley Valley.
As couples co-therapists, we have found that intensive couples counseling retreats are a powerful and effective way to help couples jump-start their relationships. Our move at
the end of 2004 to a peaceful and serene country setting in the Hockley
Valley has provided us with an ideal place for private, one-couple-only Couples Retreats.
Marriage
counseling attended jointly, in a tranquil country setting, is devoid of the
usual time restraints and anxiety associated with weekly one-hour sessions.
If you and your partner are stuck in old patterns that are keeping you from feeling close, you will benefit from our 3-day Couple Intensive Retreat. Our Couples Retreat offers both heterosexual and same-sex couples -- who are on the verge of divorce, who have been hurt by infidelity, who are caught up in bitter arguing, or who are considering reconciliation after separation -- the opportunity to rebuild relationships with renewed hope and practical skills. If you are having trouble communicating, if you long for more intimacy, if you want to be more united as parents, or if you dream of making a good relationship even better, our Couples Retreat will provide you with an exciting opportunity for renewal and enrichment.
The Couples Retreat is a three-day couple counselling experience that will provide you with
hope, new insights, and new skills to help put your relationship back on
track.
Stepping away from the demands of work and family life requires an
active commitment towards change. Our Couples Retreat will give you the time and
place to rediscover yourselves individually, and as a couple. As marriage and
couples co-therapists, we will guide you through this process, so that you can
move forward to a more positive place. You will be surprised at how quickly you
will regain a sense of purpose and relationship renewal.
During the Couples Retreat, you will learn to:
- take risks to be more open
and honest
- rebuild trust
- move beyond feelings of anger
and resentment
- stop blaming your partner
- reconnect on a
sexual-emotional level
- rekindle your capacity for
intimacy
- feel empowered by loving unconditionally
Our Couples Retreat is a private one-couple-only three-day experience. Counselling sessions are
four hours long, leaving the remainder of the day for personal reflection and the opportunity to put into practice what you have gained from the experience. You will appreciate the time together in these peaceful surroundings as you begin to reconnect.
As
our clients, you are in for a visual treat. Our country home office (a large sunroom at the back of our home) is located in the Hockley Valley on 2.88 hilly acres, surrounded by trees and flower gardens, and a spring-fed pond. When you book your Retreat, we will send you suggestions for a delightful stay at one of several B&B's and hotel resorts in the area.
We
are just 45 minutes from the Toronto
International Airport, only an hour from
downtown Toronto. We're bordering on the Niagara Escarpment, just minutes to
Hockley Village. We are only a short drive to Hockley Valley Resort, the
world-famous Bruce Hiking Trail, Mono Cliffs Conservation Area, Ecology Retreat
and Tai Chi Centre, Palgrave and Tralee equestrian centres. For the
adventurous: country shops, antiques, live theatre, fine dining, apiaries,
birding, caves, artists studios, rock climbing, hiking, and skiing.
