Couples Communication Workshop Scheduled in Spartanburg, SC

By Ben Stevens

If you want to improve your communication with your significant other, you might be interested in an upcoming communication workshop that will be conducted here in Spartanburg by Julie Thompson of Roots and Wings Workshops and Coaching, Inc. on November 7-8, 2008.

The PAIRS® Essentials workshop is described as follows:

This fun, interactive workshop introduces married couples of all ages to PAIRS® skill-based relationship education. In a relaxed classroom setting, a brief lecture is presented on a variety of marriage topics, followed by practical, usable skills to enhance communication. This is followed by "couple time" where partners get to practice new skills under the guidance of the instructor.

All exercises are voluntary, and no one ever has to speak in front of a group unless they choose to share.  Couples will learn how to turn conflict into connection, listen with empathy, confide safely, complain lovingly, and keep a sense of humor.

This workshop will be held in the Library/Conference Room at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. on Friday, November 7th, and 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. on Saturday, November 8th.  The cost is only $100 per couple, which includes tuition, snacks, and all printed materials.  If you want more information or to register, click HERE.
