Breakfast and lunch will be included in the registration fee.

Please contact us with questions to: info@sonomacouplesworkshops.com or call us at (707) 332-8629.

Our next couples workshop will be May 31 and June 1, 2014 in Santa Rosa, CA.

Our next Art and Science of Love couples workshop is scheduled for the weekend of May 31st and June 1st in Santa Rosa. We will be at the Flamingo Hotel for the second time. The venue worked out really well the last time. There is plenty of room for couples to take space to have private conversations when doing communication exercises. The pool looked like fun and should be really appealing on that particular weekend. It may be hard to stay out during the workshop. Please visit our website for more information:

Limits to Technology

Couples with smart phones can now download helpful apps by searching for Gottman in the app store. However, as the following video demonstrates, there are limits to technology in the quest to help couples get along better. The following is not for the faint of heart.

We want to announce that we are are happy to be offering both Gottman Level One and Level Two Training for couples therapists this year. Both workshops will be offered in Santa Rosa, CA. Level One is scheduled for Friday, April 4th and Saturday, April 5th. Level Two is scheduled for Thursday, September 4th through Sunday, September 7th. For more information please visit:
