LED BY SHAVONNE G-D, LMSW (she/her/hers)

This CBD -friendly communication retreat will be lead by Shavon Gaddy-Dalrymple, LMSW, a queer, black, femme psychotherapist who is currently under supervision to gain certification in sex therapy. The couples will be lead through a series of joint and independent activities that will seek to improve and deepen the couples’ communication and inter-relational intimacy. These open and honest discussions will naturally flourish when prompted by specially curated activities and when the couples are surrounded by other QTPOC folx in a cannabis-friendly environment. Each couple can expect to participate in communication enhancing activities, such as meditative journaling, communication style identification, volunteer based group discussions, couples’ communication prompt games, and communication role playing techniques to help improve and deepen their relationship connection. This retreat will serve to enhance their collective and individual mind-body-speech awareness, improve interpersonal communication, and encourage the couples’ emotional depth.
