Description
3 hours. Two people. One focus: talking to each other in a way that makes understanding possible again. In everyday life, discussions revolve around organizational matters, children, or appointments. Yet, there is often a feeling that the essential remains unspoken. Misunderstandings increase, statements are understood differently, and conversations are increasingly avoided. This is where the couples retreat "Communication" from the series "We Two – Attentive to Each Other" begins. What participants can expect The focus is on what happens in the body when calm returns: the nervous system. Through targeted breathing techniques, calm Yin Yoga poses, and simple partner exercises, the nervous system is guided into a state that promotes genuine closeness and open communication. In the parasympathetic state, it becomes easier to listen, speak thoughts openly, and consciously perceive the partner again. The approach differs from traditional couples therapy or can meaningfully complement it. It is body-oriented, practical, and immediately experiential. For some couples, it represents an independent path; for others, a valuable addition to existing therapy. Contents of the retreat: - Breathing exercises that noticeably reduce pulse and tension. - Yin Yoga with partner exercises: simple, passive positions in which the body can let go and experience how mutual presence and attention feel – at your own pace. - Time for joint reflection to categorize and discuss the experience as a couple. Retreat spaces are available for this purpose. - Guided meditations for two that accompany the entire process. All exercises are explained clearly and their contexts are elucidated. The retreat is designed so that the content can be integrated into everyday life and continued independently after the course. Who is this mini retreat suitable for For couples who notice that conversations often go in the wrong direction and are looking for concrete, tangible tools instead of just theory. Curiosity and willingness to fully engage in the shared time as a couple are the only prerequisites.Highlights
