Enhancement Weekend:

Check back soon for the 2024 dates!

Nestled in the Gunnison mountain range of Western Colorado is The Lodge at Needle Rock

where our Enhancement Weekends for 2023 will be hosted.

Spaces are limited as we will only be able to accommodate 13 couples

During this weekend you and your partner will connect and bond with each other at a level you never thought possible. Dr. Ray & Jean, with over 20+ years of experience in guiding couples will teach the skills and lead you both in an experience that will transform your relationship for a lifetime

Relationships are like bank accounts – Deposits & Withdrawals. The time you spend enjoying each other and doing new things are deposits. The times you spend apart, in conflict or disconnected are withdrawals. We will dive deeper into how to best balance your time, to rebuild your account together!

What’s YOUR Balance?

It’s time to invest in permanently transforming your relationship to go beyond what you currently know is even possible! It is achievable with a game plan that fits into your individual needs and compliments both of your expectations!

The level of connection you have with your partner reflects in all areas of your life! If you want to have a better emotional, physical, mental and financial life, then the type of work that we will be diving into will allow you to reset everything and start fresh!

Get a Sneak Peek Into What to Expect!

Connect With Your Partner in a Way You Never Knew Was Possible

Power couple and relationship experts Dr. Ray and Jean Kadkhodaian will personally work with you and your partner to show you how to design, create and live a thriving, healthy life.

Almost every couple of the thousands of couples we have worked with since 2002 state that the reason they are seeking help is a “problem with communication”.

We get into relationships ideally to change, to heal and to grow. When a couple stops growing together, friction, disappointment, resentment and confusion grow instead. The longer a couple waits to seek help the longer they feed the problem. Unfortunately, the average couple waits six years before seeking help.

This weekend intensive is designed to reduce the effects that an unhealthy relationship has on the individual and their children.

The Weekend Intensive will cover topics such as:

  • Communication patterns
  • Trust and honesty
  • Friendship
  • Quality time
  • Igniting Fun & passion
  • Creating new experiences
  • Common Vision
  • Common Vision
  • Emotional and physical intimacy
  • Healthy boundaries and expectations

"We feel aligned,

stronger and more connected than ever!

Finally found our peace"

The Weekend Intensive is designed for you to re-connect, learn but most importantly have FUN!

If a person is unaware of what he or she is feeling, it is impossible to communicate with a partner.

The proverbial argument of ”putting the cap on the toothpaste”, or “leaving your clothes all over the place” is never the true issue at hand. Once a person can understand the emotion behind those actions, one can then use that emotional bridge to see what really is the deeper issue.

This Weekend Intensive is more than just a weekend getaway with your partner. It is a chance to learn the communication tools necessary to truly share with your partner at a level you have never reached before.

Self-understanding, mutual understanding, compassion and empathy are all skills necessary to connect with a committed and loving partner. This weekend teaches all that and more.

Not only do we uncover the deep rooted emotional patterns that may be holding you both back, but we have lots of fun! We have helped thousands of couples, “create the relationship they’ve always dreamed of with the partner they fell in love with", and we are very proud of who we help!

It's not all work, we have lots of fun too!
