Living In Love Couples' Retreat
($1500 per couple)
The three secrets to a successful relationship are
(1) Communication, which includes deep listening and truth telling as well as knowing what we want and being able to communicate it self-responsibly
(2) Unconditional acceptance, honor and respect, and
(3) the day-by-day Choice to love, discover your beloved anew, and prioritize that love. These guiding priciples will help you fill your life with love.

This program is not only about love in relationship, it is the love we carry within our hearts, perhaps hidden beneath layers of defense longing to emerge. It is about the love that surrounds us always, even though our calluses may prevent us from feeling it. You will learn to embody the radiant being you already truly are and become a magnet for the love that is your birthright.

Living In Love is lead by Cia Ricco, author of Living As If Your Life Depended On It, the chapter titles of which include Claim Responsibility, Accept What Is, Harness the Power of Choice, and Develop a Tolerance for Joy.
