| Thu, Jun 14 - Sat, Jun 16 | Advanced Divorce Busting Workshop with Michele Weiner-Davis, 303-444-7004 Michele Weiner-Davis has developed an effective model for working with couples experiencing very challenging problems. Since recognizing that the real challenge in couples work is combating hopelessness, she developed tools for reaching inside people’s hearts - helping them believe that change is possible - and then showing them how to get there. Although this approach incorporates solution-oriented therapy, Michele has gone beyond the limits of the therapy model to access couples’ marriage-saving values in order to stack the deck in favor of the marriage. The Divorce Busting® approach incorporates marriage education and wisdom Michele has gleaned from nearly three decades of specializing in work with couples on the brink. In addition to teaching this comprehensive Divorce Busting® model that can be used in clinical, pastoral or military settings, Michele will also show you how to develop and market your own marriage seminar by introducing you to two marriage classes you can teach “right out of the box.” If you work with couples and are committed to helping them resolve their differences rather than dissolve their marriages, you won’t want to miss this intensive training.

| Thu, Jun 14 - Sat, Jun 16 | Divorce Busting Intensive Workshop with Michele Weiner-Davis, 303-444-7004 "This is my very favorite workshop. We have lots of time together so I can really delve into the material indepth and show lots and lots of video examples of my work. It is a small group setting which means there will be plenty of time for interaction, and ample opportunities to practice the skills you're learning. Plus, you'll meet kindred spirits and make lots of new friends. Everyone who attends says this seminar not only builds their clinical skills, they find it truly personally transforming! Come and join us!" Michele Weiner-Davis When you work with couples, do you ever ask yourself? How do I get spouses to stop blaming each other long enough to find solutions? How do I work toward improving the marriage if only one spouse will come in? What if one spouse is determined to get out? Can I really help turn things around? How can I help couples move beyond infidelity if they keep clinging to the painful past or if the unfaithful spouse won’t give up the affair immediately? They rarely do their homework. Why am I working harder than they are? We will cover these topics and many more. Although this approach incorporates solution-oriented therapy, Michele goes beyond the limits of the therapy model to access couples’ marriage-saving, family-preserving values and commitments in order to stack the deck in favor of the marriage.
