Suggested Couples Therapy Camp

Post by MountainGoatMan » Tue Sep 06, 2016 9:23 am

Hi lovlies!
I was wondering if anyone out on the inter-webs could suggest a burner-friendly, high-quality couples therapy and relationship improvement camp, preferably in a beautiful location?

I'm sure there's something around Tahoe. Or Shasta. All locations at the burn are subject to viewsheds containing ramshackle camp construction. And while it's important to be aware of any partners' needs, the burn isn't really a couple's therapy type place.

Can you narrow down "in the real world"? Are you looking for something in a specific area (like - Northern California/ upstate New York/ Argentina/ Outer Mongolia...) or do you have the funds to fly to any random place in the world someone suggests? People on this board are from all over the world, just like at the Burn, don't assume we know what area you're looking for.

Also: "burner-friendly" is another vague term, especially when it comes to relationships. In my case it would be someone who understood that one of us goes every year, the other has never been & doesn't have a lot of interest. For other people it can be open/ poly relationships, gay/ straight/ pan relationships, the couples spiritual base, an understanding of how many drugs they do, etc etc.

None of this is snark - you're basically asking a group of complete strangers on the internet who know absolutely nothing about you - not even the most basic, vague details, to suggest where to go for couples therapy (which suggests a need for serious thought). The lack of relies since you posted this sort of shows that.
