Indigenous Couples' Getaway - Kamloops, BC
Nov 15 - Nov 17, 2024
What is an Indigenous Couples’ Getaway?
The Indigenous Couples’ Getaway is a weekend relationship retreat designed to help you reconnect, improve your communication and discover more joy for the lifetime you share!
The six sessions are taught by an Indigenous speaker couple. They share their stories, give you practical wisdom and help you have intimate conversations, just between you and your partner. This will help you grow a healthier and more joyful relationship and build more closeness and trust between you. You will gain new tools to strengthen the foundation of your relationship in the important areas of communication, conflict, sex and spirituality.
This event is being hosted in partnership between Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, Intertribal Christian Communications, NAIM, and FamilyLife Canada.
