Why an Immersive

Small-Group
Experience?

You may wonder how three days of focused, group-based work compares to weekly counseling sessions. While both have value, many couples find intensive group experiences facilitate deeper, faster breakthroughs. Here’s why:

Six concentrated hours daily vs. months of spaced-out sessions.
Gain wisdom and encouragement from like-minded couples.
Extended sessions build trust and openness.
Practice and refine communication tools in real time.
Remove daily distractions to fully engage in healing.
Invite the Holy Spirit into every aspect of your growth.
