GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT
Weekend workshop for interracial couples
NEXT WORKSHOP is July 26-27, 2025



Interracial marriages and relationships have undergone tremendous growth within the last few decades. Interracial couples regularly navigate their racial reality in ways that are universal for all romantic partners and are in other ways unique and uncharted. Facilitated by a married interracial couple Yael & Dr. Paula, both Certified Imago Workshop Presenters, the workshop creates a safe, supportive environment for couples to explore core issues and transform their partnership.

Private Couples' Intensives
Learning to Communicate
The intensive invites interracial couples to experience “Dialogue,” a powerful positive communication process that enables them to really see each other–beyond their fears, cultural conditioning and projections. Dialogue provides a safe and fertile context for each person to see, hear, and understand their partner’s perspective and gain deeper insight into him or herself. Experiencing Dialogue connects partners across differences that are commonly known to create deep divides and polarization.
