Good news: Happy, successful relationships aren’t due to luck, coming from a “good” family, or finding “The One.” All couples fight and have problems communicating at times. Thankfully, effective skills can be learned and practiced; and certain skills are far more effective than others AND backed up by science.
The Couples Communication Workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2019 at 1100 Peachtree St NE, 1100 Peachtree Street Northeast Atlanta, GA 30309.
Atlanta: Couples Communication Workshop
In this workshop, you will learn how to identify common communication pitfalls, defuse heated arguments, change unhelpful patterns, and apply practical research-based strategies to prevent future conflicts from escalating.
It is important to note that this is a psychoeducational workshop, not couples therapy. It is best for couples who are committed to strengthening their relationship and are not in severe distress.
If you are in a high-conflict relationship or concerned about privacy, a traditional couples therapy consultation with me or another professional is a better choice.
This is for unmarried couples only; all sexual orientations are welcome. You will not be required nor pressured to share any personal details about your relationship.

The hip-hop cypher, an artistic explosion of storytelling, inspiration and healing, has inspired IMAN’s Arts & Culture programming from our inception. The event is Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019 at Washington High School Performing Arts Center at 45 Whitehouse Dr SW.
Literally a circle, the cypher levels the playing field of all who form it. In communal spaces, circles have facilitated peaceful dialogue and meaningful exchange.
CommUNITY Café happening in Atlanta
Spiritual traditions encourage similar circles of Divine remembrance. Connecting us to one another in ways that transcend time, space and the divisive forces of our modern day, the sacred cypher calls us to higher, more inspired and liberated ways of being.
The “Celebrating the Sacred Cypher” series will feature artists from various genres who invoke that history and spirit in their art. Additionally, our Sacred Cypher Creatives will lead week-long residencies connected to each CommUNITY Café, that will foster deep engagement and provide learning exchanges between artists and community members in the form of workshops, town hall panels, and pop-up performances.
