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.

Participants meet at the
Goodenough Community Center
on Friday evenings at 7:30

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, and enhanced collaboration and
effective partnership.

footsteps. The tools we were given can allow us to better stop and
see what we are doing. JR

discussions about issues that I could relate to was fascinating and insightful.

very much appreciated the leadership. – Liz
The assessment tools fueled good

and overall participation was great. - BP
“The measure
of a good relationship is not the absence of problems, but the way in which a
couple works with their problems.
