The Art of Loving
SIX WEEK COUPLES GROUP. Learn to communicate with your partner with more integrity and love! How do we speak up for what we want without insult? How do we say no when we need to? Disagreements and conflicting needs are inevitable. But even within conflicts and disagreements, we can speak our truth without harshness, and hear each other with more compassion and understanding. Using slow, controlled role-play, this group allows us to compassionately witness both missteps and successes (we all misstep sometimes!), and actively practice being better partners. We'll start once we have the numbers. Get in touch!

Balancing Acts
Balancing Acts is a coed action group. Through enactments of our difficult situations, members support each other through: Sadness & loneliness, grief & loss, anger & irritability, shame & self-criticism, painful memories, unfinished business, relationship difficulties, fears & anxieties, problematic behaviors, and more. To do this, we incorporate elements of both counseling and theater (this is basically an art therapy group, where the “art” is theater). This is a very active and engaged way to work, and goes way beyond “just talking.” We get out of our seats, set the scenes, move ourselves and the furniture around, and embody our challenges and solutions.

Empathy for Dudes
"Empathy for Dudes" is an Action Group designed to help men develop better relationship skills, and expand their understanding of their own and others' emotions. Increased emotional intelligence will help you in business, romance, friendship, parenting, and being a good member of your community. Note the title means both "Empathy, for dudes" and "Empathy FOR dudes." The group aims to help men to become more empathic, but it's also about ensuring that men receive understanding. Not only because everyone deserves it, but because you need to experience what it feels like to receive empathy in order to fully understand what it's all about.
