A Transformative 2-Day Workshop in Charlotte, NC for Couples and Individuals

The Relationship Bootcamp

Learn the essential skills to improve communication, resolve conflict, and build intimacy.

Better Relationships Start Here

This isn’t just another workshop—it’s a weekend that can change the way you do relationships.

Based on Terry Real’s Essential Relationship Skills Bootcamp, this two-day intensive is designed to deliver the kind of deep, transformative work that typically takes 7–10 months in traditional therapy. Through a mix of teaching, experiential exercises, and video demonstrations, you’ll walk away with a new understanding of yourself and your relationships—and tools you can start using right away.

Unlike traditional therapy, this workshop is less emotionally intense, making it more accessible, affordable, and—honestly—more doable for many people. Whether you attend solo or with a partner, whatever your relationship status or orientation, if you’re ready to grow, you’re welcome here. And, don’t worry, you’re not forced to “do” anything! You can be as active or as observant as you choose to be.

Why Bootcamp Might Be Right for You

Condensed learning: 14 hours of relational education in one weekend
Safe, group-based setting: Learn and grow without being in the hot seat
Cost-effective: Far less time and money than months of therapy
Science-backed: Neuroscience shows we learn best when we feel safe
You’re not alone: Practice skills with others who are on the same journey
