This is a day-long, intimate workshop for couples who want to improve, enhance, re-define or heal their current relationship with each other.
During the session you will explore the emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual processes involved in creating healthier, more mature, sober, honest, and vulnerable relationships. Evolve from “falling in love” to truly “being in love” and experience the joy and serenity that comes from a relationship in recovery where both parties are committed to putting it back together again.
You will also explore the differences in the ways men and women experience intimacy and express emotions, and learn ways to increase both.

John Lee is a world-renowned expert on relationships between men and women, parents and children. His simple teachings offer insights into developing better relationships and better lives. One of the basic principles John teaches is how to stay true to yourself and listen to what your body is telling you. Too many of us live "intellectual" lives, but we forget that a person needs to have a spiritual, emotional, physical and creative life.
John’s approach is grounded in simple ideas, exercises and concepts that anyone can learn and benefit from, regardless of their background. John is well-known for his work on relationships and recovery. His highly innovative books in the fields of anger management and emotional regression, have meant he is highly sought after as a consultant, teacher, trainer, coach and speaker. His contributions in the fields of recovery, relationships, men's issues, co-dependency and creativity span 20 years.
His best-selling books include The Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man, Facing the Fire: Experiencing and Expressing Anger Appropriately, and Growing Yourself Back Up: Understanding Emotional Regression. He has written thirteen other books, including his latest release The Missing Peace: Solving the Anger Problem for Alcoholics/Addicts and Those Who Love Them. John has featured on Oprah, 20/20 and CNN and has been interviewed by Newsweek, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and dozens of other American magazines and radio talk shows.
He has consulted and trained prestigious institutions in the clinical environment including The Betty Ford Clinic, Guy’s Hospital (London, England), The New York Open Center, South Pacific Private, Mountain Area Health and Education Center (North Carolina), and numerous others.
