Couples weekend retreat presented by
Indrus Pich�, MA Psy-RCC and Ron Postl

In our hectic lives we often fail to attend to the very thing we value and long for the most, real connection and an authentic loving relationship. Give yourself, your partner and your relationship the chance to begin living the dream you once had, and still hold, for the promise of living an awakened relationship.

We believe an important aspect of human nature is the longing for more connection. This program offers relationships an opportunity to move from complacency to a deeper understanding of intimacy. There is no explicit sexuality or nudity in this program. We welcome all couples, heterosexual and same sex, to these weekend workshops.

OPEN EVENING FOR COUPLES AND SINGLES
7-9 p.m.: Friday, Oct. 14
Introductory talk on sacred sexuality, the nature of desire and intimacy, emotional and physical relationships. Question and answer period. $10 per person or free to retreat participants.

Some of the areas Desire and Intimacy will explore include:
* Desire and Intimacy - What meaning do these have in your life now? How would you like Desire and Intimacy to be different in your relationship?
* Letting go of the old story: Creating a new vision.
* We can all learn to be sensual and skilled lovers and it does not begin in the bedroom.
* Sacred sexuality practices that emphasize connecting sexual and heart energy.
* Keeping the flame alight: Creating principles that will allow you to live your relationship as a sacred union.
