In this unique course for singles, couples and professionals, Gay and Katie offer a complete toolkit for creating conscious partnerships whether at home, work or in the world. You’ll learn their time-tested, step-by-step process to shift your consciousness and melt away seemingly intractable problems that block your capacity for intimacy and partnering.

Week 2: Eliminating Blame And Criticism: The Main Intimacy Slayer (July 21st)

Most people don’t realize that blame and criticism not only hurt relationships, they actively destroy your partnering. We’ll explore how to recognize these destructive actions, how to shift in the heat of the action, and what to cultivate instead that brings discovery, collaboration and renewal to close relationships.

Week 3: Embodying the Conscious Partnering Principles: The Missing Ingredient in Most Relationship Work (July 28th)

The key to creating lasting transformation in your relationships lies in the reliable tools you hold in your own body: your breath, movement, capacity to love and deep listening skills. For more than 40 years, Gay and Katie have been studying, practicing and applying these body-oriented tools to help thousands of couples and professionals end conflict, open to discovery and renew a deeper connection. This week you will:

Gain the skills to speak from a place of discovery and curiosity
Awaken to your deep listening self
Week 4: Uncovering Unconscious Beliefs That Block Intimacy: Some Begin Before You’re Born (Aug 4th)

In Conscious Loving and other relationship books they’ve written, the Hendricks explore the unconscious patterns that many people learned early in their lives. Most of us tend to repeat these patterns in our current relationships until we bring the light of consciousness to these old beliefs and models. You’ll learn Gay & Katie’s simple, but powerful tools to help you spot these old “scripts” and easily release them in favor of creating the relationships you design by choice. You will:

Learn to quickly identify the negative patterns rooted in your past
Free yourself from the past to focus on your own creative potential
Begin designing your relationship future
Week 5: Expanding the Joys of Partnering & Why Working through Issues No Longer Works (Aug 11th)

When Gay and Katie met and fell in love in 1980, they didn’t have a roadmap for creating a thriving partnership at home and work. They came together with a shared passion for play, consciousness and presence that became the foundation for their relationship transformation approach. Most people are accustomed to relationship “work” and haven’t experienced the magic of “playing” through an issue rather than talking about it endlessly or trying to get the other person to change. Scientific research increasingly supports the Hendricks’ focus on interrupting patterns and expanding the joy of partnering. This week’s experiential session is designed to shift your relationships from work to play. You will:

Become skilled in keeping the business of your relationship distinct from the play
Accelerate the juiciness or spark in any relationship
Awaken to your own creative flourishing and experience how this supports the creativity of others
Week 6: Channeling the Combined Energy of Conscious Partnering (Aug 18th)

Relationships are the best way to accelerate planetary evolution, since the combined energy of two people surpasses what each individual can generate. This week you’ll learn the power of harmonizing with others to manifest your relationship dreams at home, work and in the world. You will:

Learn how to support co-creativity in any relationship
Explore living from your genius while supporting your partner’s genius
Open to a huge expansion of love and a quantum jump in your powers to manifest
Week 7: Uncovering the Treasures of Lifelong Partnership: The Hendricks Share the Challenges They’ve Faced in 32 Years Together (Aug 25th)

As you can imagine, the Hendricks have had many learning opportunities in their 32 years together. They have a no-secrets policy, so this session presents an opportunity for you to ask them anything about their relationship. They’ll also share the treasures they’ve uncovered in meeting these challenges along the way. You will:

Shift from competition to support in your relationships
Discover the power of transparency – moving from concealing to revealing
Learn to balance multidimensional aspects of any relationship
Become skilled in “downloading” guidance or wisdom from a Higher Source rather than through other people
Week 8: Making Your Relationship a Beacon of Inspiration for Others (Sept 1st)

Ultimately, when you are consciously partnering with others, you become a source of empowerment and inspiration for all those around you. When you open to learning from every relationship interaction, you discover and refresh your primary relationships and fuel your purpose in the world. This final week together Gay and Katie will share inspiring stories and examples of conscious partnering to give you the jumpstart you need. You will begin to:

Catapult your relationships into being a beacon of inspiration
