Second “Relationship Abundance” Retreat
August 2009
By Antoinette Ball.


Relationship retreats are a great way to enhance your relationship with your partner, get through a crisis, or get moving on long term problems. Most retreats provide a way to step away from your daily routines and concentrate on your relationship. Well this retreat did that and a whole lot more. On August 14-15, 2009, the Head Start Healthy Family Program hosted their 2nd “Relationship Abundance” retreat at the Crown Plaza North, Greenspoint Hotel.

We started the weekend off with a lovely dinner and workshop about the importance of communication and being able to say what you want to your partner, so that you can get what you want from your partner. Our facilitators, Nigel Archibald and Linda Gatlin, did a great job of modeling for us communication techniques that are helpful and not harmful. After we concluded the workshop, we finished the night off with an amazing live band as we danced the night away under the stars.

More than 20 couple joined us for a fun filled weekend. We look forward to our 3rd “Relationship Abundance” retreat with more couples, more fun, and more life-lasting memories!

Couples Retreat August 2009
 


 

Relationship Abundance Retreat
By Antoinette Ball

On the weekend of June 5th, 2009, The AVANCE Healthy Marriage III program hosted its first annual couples retreat with the theme “Relationship Abundance”.

As the couples began to arrive at the Crown Plaza Friday afternoon with their packed bags and eager smiles, we knew that this was going to be a life-changing weekend filled with lots of laughs, plenty of love, and interesting presentations and workshops from our experienced facilitators.

Our facilitators, Nakia and Thelissa Edwards spoke to the participants and emphasized the importance of learning a powerful assortment of tools to make positive changes, and to take home new tools to stay on a positive track. They guided couples to becoming better communicators, more effective conflict managers, and more supportive partners, lovers and friends.

Our parents were treated to a dynamic and unforgettable weekend, chock-full of activities that they truly enjoyed and shared with each other.  We had a great turnout with over 20 parents participating in our first retreat.

Join us today, Your Children Deserve the Best Future...!
