Who is guiding this

Hedy Schleifer

Hedy Schleifer is joining us in November.

Hedy is an internationally renowned relationship builder and the creator of Encounter-centered Transformation. For more than forty years, she has helped couples build deeper connection through work grounded in the philosophy of Martin Buber. Her TEDxTelAviv talk on the power of connection has been watched around the world.

We did two of Hedy's intensives, once before we got engaged and once after we were married. She was incredible for us and for our marriage. Each of us left feeling understood, and understanding the other.

The couples experience

Remember who you chose.

This is not only for relationships in crisis. It is for two people willing to remember why they chose each other, to see themselves through the other's eyes, and to bring one another back into clearer focus.

The work is not about deciding who is right. It is an opportunity to step beyond the usual noise, see each other more fully, and make room for something deeper between you.

What is included

The practical details.

Lodging
Lodging is included.
Food
All meals, snacks, and drinks are included. The food is generous, thoughtfully prepared, and served with the same care given to the rest of the experience. Every meal is kosher under the supervision of our chef and mashgiach, Mendy Baruch. We can accommodate most dietary needs and allergies when you tell us in advance.
Travel
For those flying, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport and Miami International Airport are both convenient options. Before the retreat, we create a WhatsApp group so attendees can coordinate and, when possible, share transportation.
Individual considerations
You are asked to be in the room for everything. You are never required to do anything. Medical, physical, and other considerations are reviewed with you individually.
