"Each human being is born with the capacity to embrace life's gifts. Over time, however, life's slings and arrows cause us to adopt defense systems and we gradually limit our vision and narrow our perspective. Our energy goes into protecting ourselves and we forget the joy we once experienced."
~ Cia Ricco, co-facilitator of 4-Day Couples Healing Intensive NOVEMBER 4-7, 2010 4-Day Couples Healing Intensive, (Sarasota, FL) More intensive than the romantic Intimacy Retreat, this workshop provides a healing environment. for deep personal growth work in the presence of your partner.
