WHY YOU'LL LOVE OUR RETREAT - TESTIMONIAL FROM STEPH & MATT
"What I got out of the workshop was like falling in love, like for the first time. Not re-capturing the spark, but it was really like I just felt much, much closer. Absolutely amazing and I realised.....I hadn't actually thought that I could be happy.......that I could get what I wanted out of our relationship....,,,,,,I realised that could have only ever happened in the Workshop. It's not like we read a book and say hey let's do this............so I'm really grateful and I'm really excited about our future." ~ Matt, Melbourne.
