Securely Connected

The human brain has biological mechanisms that create and regulate our attachments with others.

This workshop explains what science knows about love, including how our hormones marinate our brains with bonding chemicals. In addition, we discover that much of what our culture tells us about being strong and independent in our intimate relationships has been shown to be wrong by research in the psychological field of Adult Attachment Theory.

In addition to this theoretical presentation, you will do practical exercises as well. You will assess your own attachment style, as well assessing the style of a recent significant partner. Other exercises allow you to more fully explore and understand your own preferred style, and you will have demonstrations to better understand how other styles fit with your own. This self-awareness expands your ability to inhabit your relationships with more choice and greater satisfaction.

This workshop is entirely appropriate for both singles seeking relationship as well as established couples working on their relationship.

Workshop fee is a sliding scale of $40-$75. The workshop is valued at $75, but if that fee prohibits you from attending then pay what works for you. Work trade arrangements are also possible for further fee reduction. These fee accommodations are so that everyone who wants to attend may do so.
