Couple Enrichment Contemplative Weekend Retreat

Friday, May 6, 2016Sunday, May 8, 2016
Lake Hickory (Hickory, NC)

Come away and rest awhile with your beloved at a Couple Enrichment retreat in a beautiful lakeside home in Hickory, North Carolina (just off I-40, midway between Greensboro and Asheville, NC). This is the third annual contemplative couple enrichment weekend led by Marsha and Mike Green. The weekend is a time to renew, restore, and refresh your precious relationship for you, for your community, and for the world. The weekend is designed as a retreat, not a workshop, with invitations to explore your relationship with your partner. Opportunities will be offered to share in the group. For some meals we will hold the silence. There will be times to rejuvenate in nature as well as to relax alone or with your beloved. The intent is to deepen intimacy, hone our capacity to listen to one another and to the Spirit which enlivens our relationships, and to identify growing edges. This retreat is open to any couple in a committed relationship, regardless of legal status. It is offered under the care of Friends Couple Enrichment and with the support of the Durham Friends Meeting. Mike and Marsha Green are trained leaders in the Friends Couple Enrichment and have been offering workshops and retreats to couples and parents for over 20 years. For information and registration, contact Marsha Green. (marshaquaker@gmail.com)
