Single again? Get important dating advice and learn about what is love, body language, signs of attraction, how to determine relationship compatibility, communication skills, conflict resolution, etc. Our unique, experiential exercises increase social skills, confidence, and give you the knowledge to make better choices and to be a better choice.
These workshops are designed for groups of 8 to 20 people. They are ideal for Christian singles; however, they are attended by spiritual singles of all faiths. The interactive format includes: small groups, media messages, humor, music, and learning games. The topics follow the natural order of how a relationship develops, so we can analyze every step of the process. In an atmosphere of friendly fun, there is a lot of opportunity for sharing relationship advice and making discoveries about past relationship patterns. The unique aspect of these workshops is the visual aids that create a memorable learning experience. Plus, we're "MALE-friendly."
We believe in the proactive concept of "preparing for success," and that it's just as important in relationship dating and love, as it is in the business world. It is our belief that couples will not break up or get divorced, if singles BEGIN the dating process with interactive, preparatory experiences that increase social skills, confidence, and the knowledge to make better choices. These Christian-based workshops are a great follow-up to divorce recovery, divorce support, grief recovery, and counseling. We welcome all types of singles (never-married, divorced, widowed) of all faiths who want to experience a committed, healthy relationship at some point in their future. Brief passages of scripture are shared in each workshop.

In order to make sure
we provide a safe environment, all participants must agree to abide by the
following Ground Rules.
GROUND RULES:
* Keep all personal information shared confidential.
* Stay focused on the topic at hand. Please use the break time for personal
conversations and the exchanging of phone numbers or wait until AFTER a
workshop is over.
* Be on time, or let host/facilitator know if you'll be late or need to
cancel.
* Be courteous and respectful of others by keeping your sharing to no more
than a couple minutes so that everyone has a chance to share.
* Use active listening when people are sharing (validate and empathize with
what they've shared). Refrain from giving unsolicited advice. We're not here
to fix each other, but to work on our own stuff. This gives the workshop a
"safe" feeling.
* It's ok to take an ETO (Emotional Time-Out) and leave the room for a few
minutes.
* Understand that the workshops are an educational experience and NOT
therapy. An open-minded attitude and participation in the exercises are the
keys to learning and personal growth.
