GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT
Ignite the Connection That Brought You Together
A Couples Relationship Retreat | June 26–28 | Art of Living Retreat Center
Reconnect, heal, and deepen your bond in this immersive weekend couples retreat based on the internationally best-selling book Getting the Love You Want. Led by renowned relationship experts Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., this transformational experience offers couples a safe, structured, and nurturing environment to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and rediscover emotional and physical intimacy.
The Art of Loving offers a soul-nourishing retreat for couples, set within charming rustic accommodations and framed by sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains—an environment that naturally supports presence, intimacy, and transformation.
Rooted in Imago Relationship Therapy, this retreat teaches practical, research-based tools to help couples communicate more effectively, cultivate empathy, and transform conflict into deeper connection. Whether your relationship is thriving or feeling strained, you’ll gain skills that support long-term intimacy, appreciation, and emotional safety.
Heal, Connect, and Grow Together
More than a workshop, this retreat is a guided journey toward relational healing and conscious partnership. Through experiential exercises, guided dialogues, and teachings from Harville and Helen, couples learn how to:
- Communicate with greater understanding and compassion
- Reduce reactivity and create emotional safety
- Use conflict as an opportunity for growth and closeness
- Rekindle intimacy and appreciation
- Build a resilient, thriving relationship
By the end of the weekend, you’ll leave feeling more connected, aligned, and equipped with practical tools you can use immediately to sustain a loving, supportive partnership.
