Risk Being All In
A workshop for couples ready to risk greater intimacy, honesty, and connection.
October 10 & 11
10am - 6pm
North Seattle
What becomes possible when you stop holding back?
Most couples don't struggle because they don't love each other.
They struggle because the moments that create
the deepest connection also require the greatest vulnerability—
and that's often when protection takes over.
How we protect ourselves differs,
but the result is often the same:
we lose access to the connection we're actually seeking.
We withdraw when we actually need closeness.
We become defensive when what
we really want is understanding.
We stay silent when we want to be known.
We try to control what can’t be controlled.
Risk Being All In
is a workshop for couples who want to move beyond their protective patterns into the realm of deeper connection and intimacy.
You'll learn practical skills for communication, conflict, and repair.
Because knowing what to do and being able to do it in the moment
are often two different things.
Through experiential exercises and guided practice, you'll learn how to recognize the habits that get in the way of connection and develop a greater capacity to stay present with yourself and your partner.
Because intimacy doesn't grow from getting everything right.
It grows when we're willing to let ourselves be seen.
To tell the truth.
To stay engaged when it would be easier to pull away.
That's what it means to be all in.

Our Team
Kellie and Jeff have been married for 26 years and have worked together for more than 20.
Over the years they've faced some things they never would have chosen—including helping their only child through a life-threatening illness, years of navigating her medical trauma, and living in a full home remodel (which nearly deserves equal billing).
They've also done what most couples do: grown up, grown older, gotten stuck, gotten help, learned new ways to communicate, and kept choosing each other.
For the past three years, Jeff has assisted the groups Kellie facilitates. Together they bring humor, heart, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to be honest in relationship.
They love people, value unvarnished truth, aren't afraid of big feelings, and believe that intimacy grows when we're willing to stay present for what is real.
