Our Workshops & Events

Is any of this on your mind in the wee hours of the night?

 Overview:

Shine Workshops are offered at various parenting centers around the Bay Area. Workshops are designed for first time expectant couples or new parents (0-6 months), but the content is relevant for parents of young children as well. Research by John Gottman supports that 67% of new parents experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction in the first year after the birth of a child. Shine Workshops offer couples a chance to make their transition to parenthood as smooth as possible by providing tools for increasing relationship satisfaction, managing expectations about having a newborn and learning about helpful resources, all in a relaxed environment.

 What you will learn:

  • How to identify with your partner’s experience of parenthood
  • Why doing small things for your partner often will keep your friendship and relationship in tact
  • How to maintain intimacy when sex is furthest from your mind
  • What makes laughter the best medicine and how to bring more of it into your relationship
  • How to create balance as you transition from a couple to a family
