What our guests say:

The retreat was such a sweet time of learning and growing with my spouse and the other couples. I am still so grateful to have experienced it.

To be able to practice the bridge, practice coaching, and receive immediate and actionable feedback was immensely helpful. I came away feeling much better equipped to lead the Bridge!

The retreat was an amazing experience. Phil and Vicky imparted so much love and wisdom and we learned so much

I think this retreat is perfect...

we got so much out of our short time!

It was really valuable to all practice facilitating with Phil/Vicky there to help.
