Our
Couples
Retreat is
designed to move any relationship forward.
The Retreat offers couples who are on the verge of
divorce, who have been hurt by infidelity, who are
caught up in bitter arguing, or who are considering
reconciliation after separation, the opportunity to
rebuild relationships with renewed hope and
practical skills. If you are having trouble
communicating, if you long for more intimacy, if
you want to be more united as parents, or if you
dream of making a good relationship even better,
our Couple
Intensive Retreat
will provide you with an exciting opportunity for
renewal and enrichment.

What
Can You Expect from a Couples
Retreat?
The
Couple
Intensive Retreat
is held in the quiet country office of
husband-and-wife co-therapists Louise Dorfman and
David Rubinstein. You can schedule your Retreat
during the week or on a weekend. It includes three
half days of counselling, with ample opportunity
for personal reflection and quality time together
in a serene county setting.
At the Couples
Retreat,
you will learn to:
- take
risks to be more open and honest
- rebuild
trust
- move
beyond feelings of anger and
resentment
- stop
blaming your partner
- reconnect
on a sexual-emotional level
- rekindle
your capacity for intimacy
- feel
empowered by loving unconditionally
This
intensive three-day experience will give you both a
solid foundation from which to make choices for
change that will empower you individually and give
you more hope as a couple. A 45-minute follow-up
telephone call is included in the Retreat
package.
Having invested in laying the foundation for
renewal, we plan follow-ups to help you keep on
track. Whe you are here, we plan a two month
follow-up phone session or in-person
couple-counselling session, with the inetntion of
meeting (or speaking by phone) twice every to
months, twice in three-month intervals, andd
finally twice every six months -- or on an as-needs
basis, if you need extra help along the way -- to
help integrate the Retreat experience into your
everyday lives. Some couples return for a second
Couples
Retreat
within a year or two to continue the process of
moving forward as individuals and as a couple.
Attending
a Couples Retreat will help you:
- Gain valuable
new insights about love and relationships
- Create a
shared vision of the life you would like to have
together
- Know the
difference between shared values and shared
interests
- Let go of
expectations that inhibit closeness
- Learn what it
takes to stay connected while growing as
individuals

Accommodations
Our
country property is nestled in the Township of
Mono, overlooking the beautiful Hockley Valley in
Ontario. It is located just above Caledon, an hour
north of Toronto in an area known for its natural
beauty and pristine environment. Just 45 minutes
from the Toronto International Airport, we are
easily accessible to travellers from all over the
world, as well as to Toronto area residents.
Retreat couples usually stay at our own Bed and
Breakfast (for photos
and
information regarding guest rooms at our B&B,
go to Hockley
Hills Bed and
Breakfast),
at another recommended B
& B in the
area,
or at nearby
resort
hotels/inns.
Near the Niagara escarpment, and close to the Bruce
Trail, our property is located in the heart of a
large conservation area. The surrounding
countryside offers hiking trails, cross-country and
downhill skiing, golf courses, horse riding,
pottery and craft studios. This is an ideal place
for your Couples
Retreat.
If you are travelling from out-of-town, your
three-day intensive Couples
Retreat
will give you plenty of time for nature walks,
much-needed relaxation, outdoor adventures, fine
dining and country fare, and even live theatre.
Downtown Toronto is only one hour away. (Visit our
Hockley
Hills Bed and Breakfast web
site
and the local tourism association's
website
