What to Expect/ What to Wear:
We will be indoors and outdoors, there will be an opportunity to experience some optional work with some of the horses at Highlands Gate as part of an added feature of the Hold Me Tight Workshop. If you choose to work with the horses please bring sturdy foot wear, no open toed shoes or sandals. Please come prepared for the weather - including waterproofs, sunscreen, sun hats, and clothes and footwear which are OK to get dirty and/or wet.
Participants will not be riding the horses during the workshop. Bring a refillable water bottle and we will supply the drinking water. We will be providing lunch, snacks and refreshments during the day. If you have any allergies or are vegetarian then please let us know. We have an accommodations list below if you require accommodation including some on site accommodation at Highlands Gate .
It is important to understand that the Hold Me Tight Workshop is not a therapy group. The Hold Me Tight Workshop is designed around seven conversations based on the Hold Me Tight book, all of which have been shown to be essential to successful relationships. You will learn how to understand and improve your relationship by presentations by the workshop leaders, private exercises and conversations with your partner and by watching video demonstrations of other couples.Although we encourage questions and comments, you do not need to speak in the group if you do not wish to. All of the dialogues with your partner will be done in private, as we always emphasize privacy and comfort. We welcome people of all backgrounds, ages, faiths and sexual orientations. We encourage you to seek therapy if you are in high relational distress.
