Debra Chamberlin-Taylor and George Taylor
Passionate Midlife - A Couples Retreat
July 25-27
A couple in their fifties returned from a vacation and said, "It was like our
honeymoon 22 years ago except better in every way." They are spiritually,
physically, and emotionally passionate about their life together. This passion
does not just come from good luck. Their love and joy are deepening over time
because they are using tools which transform relationship into a path of growth
and awakening. In this workshop, we will offer the very practices and
eprinciples that have revitalized their shared journey. In the midst of
midlife's changes and challenges, there are two directions couples tend to go.
One direction is toward deadening and closing down. The other is toward
enlivening, and opening to all that life brings. This weekend will support
partners in choosing the path of joyful aliveness. Intimacy and awakening will
be inspired through couples meditations, co-breathing activities, and conscious
communication exercises. Aging together isn't always easy, yet it can be a
doorway into the genuine love we have longed for. As we learn to meet ourselves
and our partners with deepened presence, compassion and honesty, we can finally
relax in the embrace of the awakened heart.
