Workshop Overview

Communication is the foundation of a strong, connected relationship—but misunderstandings, defensiveness, and conflict can get in the way. This engaging and interactive workshop will teach couples how to communicate more effectively using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and the Gottman Method, two research-backed approaches that foster deeper understanding, emotional safety, and lasting connection.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to express your needs and feelings without blame or criticism using NVC
✅ Tools for active listening and responding with empathy
✅ The four communication habits that damage relationships—and what to do instead
✅ Gottman’s proven strategies for strengthening emotional connection and managing conflict
✅ Practical exercises to bring home and use right away
