Private Retreat for Couples
With Vickie Falcone, M.A. and Paul Babin, M.A. | Soul-Centered Relationship Coaches
In the 2-day Private Retreat for Couples, you have the opportunity—in a short period of time—to make significant progress towards creating the relationship you want.
While all of us long for a partnership where we feel loved, heard, seen, and accepted for who we are, very few of us received the training needed to make that dream a reality.
The Private Retreat is your opportunity to heal your past and learn the skills that will support you in creating a more loving connection with your partner.
The Private Retreat Might Be for You if You Are:
-
engaging in frequent fights that are often about the same thing
-
feeling disconnected from your partner
-
stuck in a pattern of blaming or criticizing your partner
-
feeling unappreciated
-
unsure if you want your relationship to continue
-
wanting to change negative patterns and unable to do so on your own or in once-per-week therapy
-
completely committed to trying everything in your power to make your relationship work

WHO THE PRIVATE RETREAT IS FOR:
- Newly-engaged, married, straight, and gay couples
- Couples who are just starting out or who have been together for many years
- Couples who are mostly happy and want to deepen their connection
- Couples recovering from trauma such as a significant loss or an affair, regardless of relationship status
SCHEDULE: You can arrange a Private Retreat on a weekend or during the week, whichever works best for your scheduling needs. We meet both days from 10:00 am until approximately 6:00 pm. In addition, you will be asked to complete homework before the Private Retreat.
INVESTMENT: The per-couple investment is $7500 for a 2-day Private Retreat and follow-up coaching sessions. Travel, meals, and accommodations are not included.
Your investment includes:
- A 30-minute exploratory consultation with Vickie and/or Paul for each person
- The weekend intensive
- Three bi-weekly 60-minute1:1 follow-up coaching sessions for each of you (6 sessions total).
LOCATION - WE COME TO YOU: The intensives are offered in the Santa Monica/Los Angeles Area. Plan to book a home, condo or hotel room with a living room area and we will come to your location for the weekend sessions. If you are coming from out-of-town, we can provide you with a list of recommended places to stay in the Santa area.
“In forty years of couples’ therapy, 80% of the couples didn’t need therapy, they needed skills and tools.”
~Dr. Harville Hendrix, Creator of Imago Therapy
What to Expect
While intensive by nature, this experience is a safe and supportive one. Vickie and Paul are committed to creating an atmosphere of acceptance—and will teach you how to do the same with each other.
In this safe space, free of judgment, you will have the opportunity to go deep and heal the issues that are keeping you stuck in ineffective relationship patterns—often for the last time.
We find that for many people, one-on-one weekly therapy or coaching is not enough to create a significant shift in how you relate to your partner.
In your Private Retreat (which includes three follow-up sessions each), you will have the chance to make a lasting shift in how the two of you relate and often with much more ease and grace than you imagined.
