Imago Relationship 

Card

**Imago workshop — a weekend that will transform your couples team**

Have you and your partner considered [couples therapy](https://danskimagocenter.dk/imago-parterapi/) or maybe you are already starting a course? Our Imago course for couples could be an alternative or an effective supplement. In terms of efficiency, we estimate that the workshop corresponds to between 10 and 12 couple sessions.

Do you and your partner want to strengthen your relationship, achieve deeper contact, understand why the two of you got together and why you sometimes get stuck in seemingly inevitable patterns?

Do you want greater security in everyday life, more joy and an experience of growing together?

No matter what challenges you face — big or small — our Imago course for couples will help you and your partner back on track and return your passion and togetherness.

The couple's weekend at [Dansk Imagocenter](https://danskimagocenter.dk.plesk02.grouponline.org.plesk02.grouponline.org/)er a workshop for those who want to rediscover or strengthen love. You, as a couple, will learn to transform conflict into contact; routine life into passion. The workshop is suitable for couples who want to work more consciously and purposefully with both the small clashes of everyday life and the more fundamental challenges of the couple.

The workshop is a quick and effective shortcut to a strengthened relationship, and a couples weekend equals at least half a year of couples therapy.

**What do you and your partner get out of a couples workshop with us? **

Below are just some of the things you and your partner want to achieve:

- You will get a surprising new look at the relationship in just two days
- You will have a whole new way of communicating where you both feel respected at the same time
- You will understand once and for all what is the source of your conflicts
- You will learn to transform future conflicts into deep contact
- Gain new insights into why you and your partner chose each other in the past and why you made the right choice
- You will gain knowledge of the natural stages of the relationship
- You will have the ability to re-romanticize the relationship.

**\
We provide safety**

The focus is on communication, contact, presence, attachment and the ability to give and receive.

The purpose of an Imago workshop for couples is to achieve a more fun, deeper and more heartfelt relationship with each other. All this requires great security. We take full responsibility for that.

Our couples workshop is not group therapy — nor is it a workshop with therapy.

You sign up for an educational workshop with therapeutic effect.

**How does the workshop take place? **

We know that you and your partner can be uneasy about being in a group.

It is therefore important for us to establish that safety is the overriding principle at the workshop. Everyone will find that personal boundaries are respected. It is our job to create a light and playful atmosphere and we have many years of experience with that.

Although part of the workshop takes place in the group, where we watch film clips and listen to presentations, you only share what concerns your relationship with your partner. Only Pia and I will be a little generous in sharing examples from our own relationship. Examples most will be able to recognize and with this it is clear that we are all in the same boat. To protect your safety, you will be provided with a personal room where you can close the door and practice the dialogue in peace and quiet without disturbance.

**What does our Imago workshop for couples offer? **

You and your partner will receive inspiring presentations about the development of the self and the development phases and dynamics of the relationship.

You will gain the latest knowledge about the connection between what takes place in close, meaningful relationships and the development of the brain/psyche.

In between presentations at the workshop, you will work independently with the course manual.

And you and your partner will have the opportunity to test the elements of the special Imagodialog (the conscious dialogue) in a safe environment.

When the workshop ends on Sunday, you will have tested all the elements of the dialogue and you will be able to complete a full Image Dialogue at home on your own.
