Vitamin L for your Relationship
A Weekend Getaway from Friday Evening to Sunday Evening 13th – 15th August
Do you sometimes just need to get away at the weekend?
Is there so little space in your life for the one you love, the person you live with?
Here is the chance to enjoy a weekend together in comfort and connection.
Two days of relaxation and fun, with the added bonus of learning some new skills to help you understand and communicate with each other more deeply.
This weekend, for a small group of couples will include the opportunities to come together and explore some exercises and experiences that will enhance the way you work together, play together, and share your lives.
There will be a mixture of verbal and play activities, group and couple time, along with relaxation and physical exercises, designed to help you get in touch with the emotional and physical habits that limit the joy and freedom in your relationship.
In addition to that, you will be free to go walking on the Great Wall and around the local mountains.
This weekend is for both long term married couples and those just embarking on a relationship.
A weekend together in comfort and connection.
A weekend of both fun and learning.
A mixture of verbal and play activities, group and couple time.
In this workshop, alongside the fun and learning skills, these exercises will provide you with relaxation and rejuvenation, and, if you take the chance to have couple sessions, will illuminate stuck patterns between the two of you. You will have the opportunity to discard old habits that don’t serve you and replace them with new habits that support the intimacy and connection between you.
Relaxation
• You will find Qigong and Chinese martial arts exercises that help de-stress and create both physical relaxation and rejuvenation.
• You will replenish your energy.

• You will be able to walk on the Great Wall and around the local mountains.
Connection
