Courageous Communication

WinShape Retreat - Rome, GA
October 30 - November 1, 2026

Retreat Description

The pace and pressures of life can place enormous strain on marriages. If you and your spouse find yourselves living in the same house but feeling disconnected, often misreading each other and nitpicking over things that normally wouldn’t bother you, this retreat can help! Utilizing scripture as well as relevant research, Courageous Communication helps you break down communication barriers—you’ll learn clear and effective communication practices as well as tools to manage conflict in a healthier way. With these tools, you’ll be able to move through “stuckness” and into a more intimate, thriving marriage.

Key Takeaways

  • Keys to understanding your communication styles and learning to engage differently with one another rather than trying to change one another
  • Awareness that though you’re always communicating, you may not always be communicating what you intend to
  • Clarity around how to have hard conversations about past, present, and potential future hurts
  • Tools to create safety within your marriage

Retreat Cost

$750 per couple
Includes all meals, lodging, and programming. Taxes not included.
