Testimonials
Hear from our happy couples
We are SOOOO grateful to you both for being exactly the right people to help us. When my friends ask me about our trip to Spain, I say it was life changing. Really. We are converts all the way. I’ll forever be your ‘evangelical’ messenger of IMAGO and your specific approach to combining it with travel.
My husband and I attended our first Replenish Relationships weekend workshops in 2019, and it was transformative to say the least. The tools and skills we learned about IMAGO dialogue, completely changed the way we communicate. For the first time, I truly understood how to actively listen—to set aside my own thoughts and really hear my partner without interrupting or judging him. This practice has truly helped us build deeper trust and understanding in our partnership.
We wholeheartedly recommend investing in your relationship through one of Anna and Tim’s workshops or retreats. The amount of love and creativity they pour into their group sessions is so respectful of everyone’s level of comfort and still makes it so much fun that you just can’t help but want to dive in and do the work.
“Our couples retreat with Anna and Tim was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The venue had such a welcoming vibe, and the food was delicious—every meal felt like it was made with care and intention. But what made the retreat extraordinary on so many levels were Anna and Tim themselves. As teachers, they are honest, perceptive, and incredibly intentional. They truly live by the principles they teach, and their authenticity made the entire experience even more meaningful. We would return in a heartbeat.”

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is the difference between the workshop and therapy?
The GTLYW workshop is an intensive (though fun) workshop which takes up most of one full weekend. It is often considered equivalent to 3-6 months of regular couples’ therapy. Couples learn new and effective communication tools, and discover at a deeper level why conflict and disconnect occur and what to do about it. During this workshop the facilitators do not spend time with each couple helping them to navigate the uniqueness of their situation. The amount of information shared in the workshop cannot easily be offered in private therapy. In addition there is a profound positive impact which occurs through meeting other couples and understanding the universality of the challenges of being in a committed partnership.
Couples’ therapy can precede the workshop, come after the workshop (or neither or both). IMAGO therapy allows a couple to work privately with a certified IMAGO therapist in order to deepen their understanding of their unique dynamic and relationship. The therapist acts as a facilitator to support the couple in meaningful dialogue to ‘unpack’ their stories, and increase their compassion, understanding and empathy for one another. Typically couples therapy occurs over a period of time…weeks, months and sometimes even years.
Would this workshop be helpful for marriage/committed relationship preparation?
Definitely! One of the components of this workshop is learning the skill of dialogue. Dialogue allows for deeper and more productive communication. All committed relationships require the fundamental and often ignored skills of communication. You will leave this workshop understanding what has drawn you together, and how to navigate a healthy relationship moving forward. Having excellent communication skills will serve you well as you pursue a healthy and respectful life long love together.
What is the ideal stage of relationship for taking this workshop?
Will we have to share what is private about our relationship?
The workshop is not a group therapy experience. While there is lots of evidence to support the value of group work, sharing of intimate information is not required. You will have the opportunity to share how you met, along with some of the positives about your connection. Participants regularly note that while they were anxious in anticipation of a ‘group’ experience, the value of learning alongside others far outweighed these concerns.
