Take a Journey to the Relationship of Your Dreams with Our Exclusive Couples Weekend Retreat

Are you feeling the energy between you is flat and boring? Learn to recapture the joy and happiness you once had.

It is not at all unusual for couples to experience less and less connection and passion as the relationship ages. By becoming conscious of how you speak and listen to one another, how much you actively appreciate one another and your particular Love Language, you can recapture the joy and happiness you once had.

Are you having the same arguments over and over again? Overcome destructive patterns that are making you unhappy.

Conflict in a relationship is a common experience and how you handle it will determine whether you will turn away from one another over time or use it as an opportunity for growth and healing. In this retreat you will learn powerful communication tools to help you overcome destructive patterns and resolve long standing conflict.

Are you struggling to come back after an affair or other breach of trust? Heal wounds, reconnect to a brighter sense of hope for the future.

Some couples come to the retreat with deep wounds to heal. We will help you to discover what went wrong in your relationship, how to make deep amends and to repair the disruption in your intimate connection. We will reconnect you to the hope you’ve lost.

Is your relationship solid, but you just need to get away to deepen your love and commitment?

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love requires a conscious commitment. Couples need to make time to nurture their relationships. This weekend retreat is an opportunity for you to leave the demands and responsibility of your lives behind. In an expansive five-acre property at the base of the Carpinteria foothills, you’ll grow your relationship while relaxing and having fun together.

Mary Kay is truly an amazing thinker, helper, and guide. Her methods are endlessly insightful, and she’s helped us find clarity and communicate more effectively than we’d ever thought we could. She’s incredible.

We also attended a 3-day couples retreat, which was wonderful: educational, informative, and fun – all in an idyllic relaxing setting. The experience has since become invaluable to our relationship.

Mary Kay’s work with couples is absolutely transformative. In my own relationship, during the short time of this Over the Bridge workshop, my husband and I were able to discover, share, and repair old wounds to create a deeper sense of connection. This workshop is for any couple, old or new, happy, or struggling.-RP

We feel lucky to have found Mary Kay – she couldn’t be better at what she does. We whole-heartedly recommend her.” — C.R.

My husband and I just returned from Mary Kay’s weekend couples’ retreat and I can honestly say it was the absolute best investment in our 25-year marriage. Regardless of where you find yourselves, the teachings are a good way to connect (or reconnect) and to learn valuable tools that will allow to reach many more milestones in a loving, healthy way. Her team of facilitators was top-notch and the setting was inspiring. The one-on-one attention was key and the fact that the group of participants was small, encouraged openness and a willingness to be vulnerable. Mary Kay created a very safe container to work through some emotional challenges. Well done! —Maira S.

My husband and I loved the opportunity to spend uninterrupted time together to deepen our connection. It was very helpful to meet other couples and to hold each other in a safe and supportive way. We also deeply appreciated the personal attention we got.– E.K.

I attended Mary Kay’s workshop – Over the Bridge – and it was one of the most moving, beautiful experiences I have ever participated in. In a joyful, fun and safe way, Mary Kay literally opens the doors for connected, intimate relational space to occur and models empathic communication in a wonderful way.– S.V.
