ReLaunch for relationship on the Salmon

We are still working on days for next year, but if you'd like to join the list to get an email when the date is set message Sarah here. 

This trip will change all your relationships and create space for deeper connections. 

While on the river you will be supported to allow your most authentic self to surface. As the facilitator I will support and hold space for you and your partner to practice new ways of listening to each other and learning how to navigate the daily challenges of life with a new perspective. 

A seed was planted after my husband and I experienced the life changing benefits of a healthier relationship after we went to a Gottman Therapist for a marathon weekend in 2021 while I was pregnant with our second child. As a mental health professional I appreciated the skills and approach and started the path for training from the Gottman Institute. The Skills were not the only thing that saved my marriage, both my husband and had a deep love for the river and multi-day rafting trips. It was a place where time can pause and allow the love and joy to rise up for life, self and each other. I knew sharing the river and the Gottman skills would be as beneficial for others as it was for us. I feel deeply honored to have the opportunity to hold space for others while offering resources and support to create and and deepen your connection while enjoying  the river as well.  

Each morning we will have light movement and stretching while discussing the rapids for the day. 

As we make our way downstream, each couple will have 4 hours of private sessions throughout the trip, and will have the opportunity to participate in campfire group sessions every evening.

Mid-day we will stop for lunch and have educational/ connection conversation 

Raft for a few more hours 

Each evening camp will get set up and then group offerings with sharing, emotional regulation practice with natures support and conversation focused on mindfulness, connection, building intimacy and normalizing the struggles people face in relationships today.

Couples who want better sex, more intimacy, laughter and play! Once you are reminded how much you love your partner and learn a few new ways of spending time and communicating you will deepen your connection, you will begin to feel seen and heard in your relationship and feel more supported and able to navigate life's challenges as a team.

If you want to feel more at ease and communicate with your partner while feeling more aligned and feel like you are back on the same team.

My approach to supporting couples has been heavily influenced by the Gottman Method, Esther Perel, Brené Brown, and many others as well as life's journey.  

Through my opportunities working with the couples who have trusted me thus far, I have observed the following essential traits present in healthy relationships:

 
·Healthy boundaries with each other and family

·Individual interests as well as shared interest and future goals

·Friendship

·Ability to initiate and participate in challenging conversations 

·Fair Fighting with the ability to repair 

·Willingness to navigate big rapids as a team, forming and maintaining trust in themselves and their partner

·They can see the beauty in their partners annoying traits, play and laugh! 

My intention for each person after this experience is an enhanced skill set as well as a feeling of connection, and greater contentment within themselves and within their relationship. 

Prior to the trip I will meet with both partners separately for a 1:1 session for a candid checkin to explore areas of growth desired and gain an understanding of any struggles either of you may want more support with. I will then meet with each couple more a 60 min session to the trip. 

On the trip the Gottman Method skills will be shared, opportunities to practice them and 4 hours of time with me separate from the group. 

After the trip I will be available for follow up sessions if desired. 

Thank you for this opportunity to get to know you, share, grow and connect on the River.
