The Getting the Love You Want Workshop, based on Imago Relationship Therapy, gives couples the concepts and skills they need to co-create a safe relationship, experience and sustain deep connecting, and experience joyful aliveness.
The skills include 1) learning a new way to talk; 2) removing all negativity, and 3) practicing daily connecting behaviors which activate the innate healing powers of intimate partnership, transforming conflict in any relationship to connecting.
Using the Imago Process, couples transform their unconscious relationship, in which they were opponents, to a conscious partnership in which they co-create their dream relationship. In the process of becoming connected to each other, partners experience connecting to a larger reality, which makes intimate partnership a spiritual path.
This workshop is also offered internationally by Imago certified workshop presenters. Given its worldwide distribution over the past thirty years, it has helped thousands of couples transform their relationship, their lives and improve their overall well-being.
Whether your relationship is new or old, whether in crisis or in love, whether you are married or unmarried, you are invited to attend this transformative workshop. As you engage the process, you will be supported and assisted by an Imago qualified clinical staff.

How to Talk with Anyone About Anything
The Practice of Safe Conversations
Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk without polarizing. We desperately need a reset and a skill that helps us connect beyond our differences. Join New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt to learn how to move all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.
In this 90-minute workshop How to Talk with Anyone about Anything, Harville and Helen share the wisdom of the Safe Conversations Dialogue process and the four structured and teachable skills that create safety and connection:
- Practicing the Dialogue skill
- Removing Negativity
- Developing Empathy by adopting a curious stance
- Adding Affirmations to your daily practice
This workshop, based on their newest book of the same title, offers the basic keys to unlocking your ability to connect with others in a new and profoundly different way. Participants will be able to practice the skills with other participants through breakout rooms and apply basic these skills to all their relationships – at home, work, and in their community.
As more of us hone the ability to connect beyond our differences, together, we can bring about a fundamental shift in society away from our current focus on the “self” and polarization towards safety and true connection that includes personal freedom, universal equality, radical inclusion, and celebration of diversity—a society in which we all collaborate with each other without surrendering our differences, co-create with each other about new solutions and cooperate with other to put them into practice. Then we will all live in the world of our dreams.
