Singles: Free Intro to Lessons in Love, Tantra Meets Gottman Relationship Research

This online spiritual workshop for singles blends Tantra with the relationship research of Dr. John Gottman. It begins with two free one-hour introductions and continues as a four-week live series on Zoom called Lessons in Love. It is for single adults who want a happy, healthy romantic partnership and are tired of the swiping cycle. Olga Ribble, a Certified SkyDancing Tantra Presenter, leads it.

The series adapts the principles of the Gottman book "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" for people who are dating rather than married. Alongside that research, Tantra supplies the attention to presence, grounding, life-force energy (shakti) and boundaries held as sacred space.

What to Expect

The free introduction runs one hour, from noon to 1:00 PM Eastern Time, and is offered twice with identical content. You will hear how Tantra can be applied to dating, get an overview of Gottman Institute research and how singles can use it, and learn how the Lessons in Love program is structured. There is time for questions and for registering. Those who register for the free introduction receive the replay.

The workshop itself is four live, interactive sessions on Zoom, each two hours, from noon to 2:00 PM Eastern Time. It is educational and skills-based, and all registrants receive the video recordings, so a missed session can be caught up on. Over the eight hours, the topics include:

- the happy couples' secret weapon
- becoming a better listener and communicator
- the phases of relationships, true love, and how to approach dating
- expressing emotions, needs, goals and dreams
- managing conflict and moving past repeat arguments
- increasing fondness and admiration
- applying the Seven Principles to dating and romantic partnerships
- establishing boundaries as sacred space

The material speaks to people navigating a frustrating dating scene, healing from a breakup, or wanting to change long-standing relationship patterns.
