Conscious Couples Network
 The Conscious Couples Network (CCN)
is committed to helping couples enrich,
renew and strengthen their relationship. Recognizing the need for group education, discussion and
support, the Network sponsors evening gatherings and weekend and/or
day long workshops, throughout the year.
We offer the
camaraderie of other committed couples, and a demonstration of ordinary
people choosing to learn to develop themselves and their relationship, to create
an increasingly rich and satisfying life.
Listening in to other couples’ discussions about issues
that I could relate to was fascinating and insightful. Effective job creating a
safe space. I felt I could be open and honest and I very much appreciated the
leadership. – Liz

What’s the Conscious Couples name about?
Our name highlights two
features of a healthy, committed relationship
1.
Consciousness, because good relationships just don’t happen –
they require intention, attention and care to create a warm relationship that is
supportive of the growth of both partners.
2.
Network, because of the importance of providing an ongoing, supportive,
and relational
context for couples to practice and refine their skills of friendship and
goodwill. Spending time with other couples provides the opportunity to share
what you have learned from your relationship and to learn from others. The
network provides couples mutual support and practical help - couples
coaching couples.
Game
Play Method of Learning
Game play allows participants
to relax and let go of the constrictions of their Do’s and
Don’ts. Benefits of Game Play
include:
-
Improved communication.
-
Increased affection and lighten the atmosphere.
-
Enhanced collaboration and effective partnership.
The games are a method of stimulating insight,
wisdom, and personal growth. They belong to the domain of doing and
being. They are a way at arriving at the truth through the sharing
of experience, but they are neutral concerning the specific content
of the truths arrived at.
