Listening, confronting conflict, being vulnerable, sharing our deepest fears and longings: why is it so difficult for us to share our hearts with our partners?
At this retreat you will learn not only the value of listening but also how to listen. You will learn not only the importance of sharing from your heart but how to speak in a way that allows your partner to hear you.
