FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Build a Stronger Relationship in 2007
True Azimuth, LLC announced today the 2007 dates for their 3-day adventure-based gay couples course. Each course, held in the mountains of Vermont, takes place on the second full weekend of each month from June through October. Couples will be involved in orienteering, adventure-based problem solving exercises, trust activities, a solo reflection experience, and even an open fire cooking challenge.
“The cooking challenge was a popular activity last year,” says Scott Graham, a life and relationship coach who co-leads the course. “It’s based upon excavated kitchen set ups used during the Revolutionary War. Couples have to work together to make a dinner using minimal tools – like some cooking activity you would see on Bravo’s ‘Top Chef’ TV show – but unlike ‘Top Chef’ the focus is not on creating a winning meal but learning about each other to create a winning relationship.”
Creating a winning relationship is not the only topic covered during the course. Other topics include: building a personal foundation, stopping problems at the source, maintaining balance in life, talking about sexuality and living with integrity.
The course includes a pre-course behavioral-style assessment to help couples understand their own behavior, improve communication, appreciate different styles and reduce conflict. Post-course coaching sessions help translate what couples learn during the weekend into reality back at home.
“Coaching is the most highly rated part of the experience,” says Graham. “Couples can integrate what they learn and move beyond good intentions – to dynamic growth”
And the course is not just for new couples – or even couples who may be struggling in their relationship. “Whether you have been together 50 days or 50 years there is room to create a stronger, winning relationship,” says Brian Stephens, Graham’s partner of 18 years and course co-leader. “An enduring relationship that remains viable for both people over the long haul is hard work. Each year brings new changes as well as new challenges and with few role models where do we go?” asks Stephens.
“Vermont, the second weekend of the summer months,” added Graham.
Each course is limited to 6 couples. The 2007 dates are:
Friday June 8 - Sunday June 10
Friday July 13 - Sunday July 15
Friday August 10 - Sunday August 10
Friday September 14 - Sunday September 16
Friday October 12 - Sunday October 14
