THE ART & science of love WORKSHOP

A 2 day workshop for any couple in a committed relationship, The Art and Science of Love will help you to build a stronger friendship with your partner as well as giving you powerful practical tools to resolve conflict effectively.

What is the workshop about?

The Art and Science of Love is a 2 day workshop teaching practical relationship skills based on decades of scientific research. The workshop is led by Dr Gavin Brown (Clinical Psychologist) and Dr Carolyn Russell (GP Psychotherapist) who are both Certified Gottman Therapists that have many years of experience working with couples. The ASL is a psychoeducation event and participants will not be asked to discuss their relationship with anyone other than their partner.

What Will I learn?

You and your partner will learn how to develop or repair respect, affection, and friendship in your relationship. You will learn how to manage conflict more effectively and move forward on topics that consistently cause arguments in your marriage or relationship.

Who is the workshop for?

Any couple in a committed relationship regardless of marital status, age or sexual orientation (due to the many practical exercises you will complete with your partner, individuals cannot attend on their own).
Couples in relationship distress – the ASL workshop will provide you with tools to repair your connection that you may wish to develop further at a later time with an experienced couples therapist.
For couples who are engaged to be married the ASL workshop provides an excellent opportunity to learn and develop proactive skills to help navigate your many years together.
This educational workshop may not be appropriate for couples dealing with addiction, domestic violence, or other serious relationship issues. In these instances, we recommend first engaging with an experienced couples therapist.
