Connecting Practices

An FGC Gathering Online Workshop in 5 Sessions

July 4 - 9, 2022 from 2 - 4 p.m. ET each day

Each year, Friends Couple Enrichment offers a workshop at the Friends General Conference Summer Gathering.  This year the workshop (#39) will be held online, and led by Jose Maria Gonzalez and Maria del Carmen Gomez, from Ottawa, Canada. 

This workshop is for any couple in a committed relationship. Friends Couple Enrichment workshops enable couples to deepen their intimacy, spiritual connection, communication, love, and playfulness. Exploring vulnerability and connection within a supportive community enables couples to have the courage to reach a deeper level of intimacy. Advanced communication skills build on testimonies and practices of the Quaker faith. 

"Couple Enrichment - Connecting Practices" workshop is part of the 2022 Online Summer Gathering hosted by Friends General Conference.  The 5 workshop sessions will be held online from Monday to Friday, July 4-9.  The daily 90-minute sessions will begin at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. 

Couples wishing to attend this workshop must register for the FGC Summer Gathering. For online options at the 2022 Gathering, fees are “Pay as Led”.   More information is available on the FGC Gathering Website.
