Workshop Overview:

Connect to Communicate, then Communicate to Connect!

It's not just the words that count! Develop a strategy for teamwork and emotional connection that will protect your relationship during times of trouble.

Everyone Fights: Conflict Regulation

While it’s not possible to eliminate conflict, it is possible to learn how to navigate it more effectively. We’ll show you practical strategies for handling conflict in a way that supports your relationship instead of eroding it.

Getting Out of Gridlock & Deepening Intimacy

Getting clear about the past - the “old baggage” -allows you to be more present in your current relationship. Explore how your emotional history can lead you to feeling stuck in a repeated cycle of conflict. Unspoken dreams may also keep you mired in conflict. We’ll show you tools to help break out of those gridlocked patterns - strategies that can turn your differences into direction.

This workshop (and all project E.Q.U.A.L. services) are affirming of poly and kink relationships.
