Getting the Love You Want

Imago-Based Workshop for Couples

Next Workshop: September 11-13, 2026

Silverthorne, Colorado

Imago Couples Workshop

 

A Weekend for Just a Few Couples, Not a Roomful

Hosted in our home, with no more than three couples at a time — this isn't a conference room full of strangers. It's a small, deeply personal weekend, with space to go deeper.

Couples who've sat in rooms with eight or ten other couples tell us this felt different — like they had room to work, ask questions, and be supported.

We're the only Certified Getting the Love You Want Workshop in the Rocky Mountain Region, and we'd love to welcome you.

Curious what the weekend looks like?


This blog post offers a sneak peek at the flow of the weekend—and links to four others that dive into the experience from different angles.

Workshop investment and flexible payment options are outlined below.

Why Attend?

​Learn communication that actually works
You'll practice the Imago Dialogue - a structured way of talking and listening that helps both partners feel truly heard and understood. This isn't theory. You'll use it throughout the weekend and leave knowing how to use it at home.

Understand the patterns beneath your conflicts
Why do the same arguments keep happening? You'll gain insight into how past experiences shape your relationship dynamics, and learn how to work with those patterns rather than against them.

Create lasting change together
This weekend isn't just about feeling good in the moment. You'll build skills and awareness that continue to serve your relationship long after you leave.

A small group, not a crowd
With no more than three couples in the room, you're not competing for attention or watching from the back. You'll get real time, real guidance, and real space to do this work —and you'll never feel like a number in a big room.

Our Story

A Commitment to Growth, Fun, and Transformation

N & S Website_edited_edited_edited.jpg

Nichole & Scott

I (Nichole) have been immersed in the Imago approach for more than a decade, assisting with numerous Getting the Love You Want workshops and witnessing again and again how transformational this process can be for couples.

Over the past several years, Scott and I have continued deepening our understanding of Imago together and applying these principles in our own relationship. We're quite different by nature: I'm perfectly content curled up with a good book under a tree, while Scott's ideal weekend involves a mountain bike and as much riding as daylight allows.

Those differences have given us countless opportunities to practice what we teach: choosing curiosity over judgment, dialogue over arguing, and growth over getting stuck. More and more, these tools help us create a relationship we genuinely love living in together.

We're continually inspired by watching couples find their way to that same place—where differences become something to appreciate rather than resent, and where connection deepens through understanding rather than fixing.

We don't lead these workshops as distant experts, but as two real people doing the work ourselves. As Certified Imago Workshop Presenters, we're honored to share what has helped us and so many others create more connection, understanding, and joy in their relationships.

Participant (September, 2025)

"Nichole and Scott are authentic, open, and loving. They used real-life examples that were effective, touching, and often humorous, which made the concepts relatable. I’ve personally witnessed the positive changes in their own relationship as they’ve applied this work — and that was influential in my decision to take the workshop. They clearly walk the talk."

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you dive in, you may have a few questions—and you're not alone. Whether you're wondering what the workshop experience is actually like, whether it's the right fit for your relationship, or whether you'll be asked to share your deepest secrets with strangers (you won't), we've gathered some of the questions couples ask most often below.

Are workshops just a bunch of couples sharing their problems in a big group?

Not even close. While there are a few moments of group reflection or shared learning, the heart of the workshop is the work you and your partner do privately together. Most exercises and conversations happen between the two of you, with guidance from us along the way. There is never pressure to share personal details with the group, and individualized support is available throughout the weekend.

My partner's nervous—we're not "group people." Will this still work for us?

Probably more than you think. This isn't group therapy, and no one is put on the spot. Most of the experience happens privately between you and your partner. Couples are often surprised by how comfortable and relaxed the atmosphere feels, even if they walked in feeling skeptical or nervous.

What if one of us is way more into this than the other?

That's incredibly common. Often one partner is excited and the other is cautiously curious—or even openly skeptical. The structure of the workshop tends to ease people in naturally, and it's not unusual for the more hesitant partner to be the one saying at the end, "I'm really glad we did this."

How is this different from couples therapy?

Think education and practice, not treatment. Couples therapy is typically tailored to the specific challenges a relationship is facing, and it's a process that unfolds over time. The workshop is more educational and experiential in nature. You'll learn practical relationship tools and immediately practice using them with your partner, with guidance and support along the way. Many couples appreciate having uninterrupted time to focus on their relationship and leave with concrete skills they can continue using long after the weekend ends.

Are we going to spend the whole time digging up our childhood?

No therapy couch required. While deeper moments come up, the workshop focuses on helping you connect in the present. You'll explore different things, but in the context of learning new ways to listen, speak, and repair with one another. It's not about rehashing the past—it's about moving forward with more clarity, care, and connection.

Isn't a weekend too short to make a real difference?

You might be surprised. When couples step away from daily responsibilities and spend focused time learning and practicing together, meaningful shifts can happen quickly. Many couples describe the weekend as a "relationship reset" and leave feeling more connected, more hopeful, and with a clearer understanding of one another than they've had in years.

A "couples workshop" sounds intense—are we going to be "in it" the whole time?

We get that concern. While the workshop is immersive, it's also thoughtfully paced. There's a natural rhythm between learning, practicing, sharing quiet moments, and even laughing together. Many couples leave feeling energized and connected, not drained.

Is this workshop only for couples in crisis?

Not at all. Some couples attend because they're hurting or feeling stuck. Others come because things are going well and they want to invest in their relationship before problems arise. The workshop is designed to meet couples where they are and provide practical tools for creating more connection, understanding, and resilience in the years ahead.

What if we disagree about almost everything lately?

You don't need to agree to benefit. In fact, many couples discover that their biggest challenge isn't disagreement itself—it's feeling unheard, misunderstood, or alone inside the disagreement. The workshop focuses less on solving problems and more on helping partners understand one another in a different way.

Why is this workshop priced differently than some others I've seen?

Because the experience is different. Most Getting the Love You Want workshops include eight to twelve couples. Ours are intentionally limited to just three couples and hosted in an intimate setting, allowing for significantly more individualized guidance, support, and coaching throughout the weekend. You're receiving the same internationally recognized workshop experience, but with a level of personal attention that feels much closer to a private intensive than a traditional large-group workshop.

Is this workshop right for every couple?

Not always—and that's okay. We built this workshop to be a small, safe space for real work, which means we also want to be honest about who it's built for. This workshop is designed for couples who are able to participate in conversations together, remain emotionally and physically safe with one another, and are interested in learning and practicing new ways of connecting.

 

This workshop may not be the best fit if:

  • there is physical violence or fear for physical safety in the relationship

  • one partner is currently maintaining significant secrets that would make authentic participation difficult

  • active substance use would significantly impair participation or safety

  • one or both partners are experiencing severe mental health symptoms that would make a group learning environment difficult to engage in

  • one partner has already decided to end the relationship and is attending solely to satisfy the wishes of the other partner

  • either partner is unwilling to participate respectfully in the workshop process

 

In these situations, individual support, couples therapy, or a more tailored intensive experience is often a better place to begin.
