2-Day Intensive:
Courage and Truth – A Path to Love
Love requires courage. It makes us vulnerable – and yet it is inevitable that we will be hurt. It can’t be avoided among people. Even those who retreat to a monastery and love only God do not completely escape the pain. A tragic accident can strike a monk during the renovation of the roof truss – life holds no guarantees.
Because injuries are inevitable, we develop protective mechanisms. Some close their hearts – or only open them a crack, well guarded by inner armor. Others choose the risk and slip into the role of the victim – with silent hope for blame. Still others strike as a precaution before they are hit themselves.
Whether as an anxious biter, a perpetual victim, or a person with a heart of steel – none of these paths protects us from the pain.
On the contrary: They create distance.
They separate us from the closeness we are actually looking for.
And they keep us from truly loving – and being loved.
However, the monk struck by the beam or his brothers see his fate differently. If their faith is strong, then the falling of the beam was a work of God – and God’s works happen out of an all-encompassing love. Perhaps it would say on his tombstone: “The ways of the Lord are inscrutable.”
Truth in love requires courage
Truth is a big word – and many have given their lives for it. Whether burned at the stake or murdered in secret: These people gave their truth a higher value than their lives. They loved their truth – and had the courage to take a risk for it. They were not separated from their truth – and therefore not from themselves.
The biggest fallacy of romantic love is that it lasts forever.
Saying this at the beginning destroys all magic.
Not acknowledging it in the course of things prevents growth.
At the latest with the arrival of everyday life, the blanket of habit settles over sweet dreams and silent hopes.
Some ideas become projects. Others are abandoned – or disappointed.
An unredeemed remainder remains: as a quiet offense, or as growing dissatisfaction with unfulfilled desires.
Because what you cannot change, you must at least name 2
Many couples avoid expressing their deepest longings and disappointments. Instead, they lose themselves in trivialities or repress their feelings – “Actually, we’re doing well”. Until the truth becomes inevitable – and nothing can hide the fact that things are not as they seem.
Every truth begins with oneself: with letting go of ideas and expectations and the realization that a partnership can neither heal old wounds nor fulfill childish longings.
The true “great love” lies not in a relationship, but in the unconditional acceptance of one’s own self.
Only from this arises a deeper connection to others – free from illusions and unfulfillable hopes.
At the crossroads – stay or go?
If you are reading this text, your relationship is probably at a crossroads: Do you remain lonely together – or do you dare to take the step to wake up, grow, and enter into a mature relationship?
A partnership in which each person allows the other to accept themselves and their own truth. And yes – that is risky.
Because there is always the possibility that the entire construction will blow up in your face. But that is precisely where the opportunity lies: To really see each other. To feel each other.
And perhaps to experience for the first time what it means to in love. Not just to love.
Every relationship follows its own path.
No course is predetermined. But we can be guided – by experience, intuition, and empathy. What can grow from this is a new form of encounter: carried by sincerity, by connection – and the courage to love.
Our Path
Our story is a journey through love, separation, and reunion – carried by the search for truth and inner freedom.
What connects us is the deep experience that relationship is more than romance or harmony: It is a mirror, a practice field – and sometimes a storm.
We have let go, lost ourselves, found ourselves again – and learned that BEING is not a goal, but a state: beyond roles, concepts, and expectations.
This path – our path – is today the basis of our therapeutic work with couples. It is both an invitation and an imposition: to wake up, to be true, and to rediscover love.
The Process
A weekend that creates space – for what otherwise finds no place.
For you as a couple. For your topics. For the truth that wants to be heard.
And for the courage to really meet each other.
In four therapeutically accompanied sessions of 90 minutes each, we guide you through an intensive and at the same time gentle process. You come with what is – we provide a protected framework in which development becomes possible.

Duration: Two consecutive days (by appointment)
Scope: Four couple sessions of 90 minutes each
Price: CHF 2,100.00 (incl. preliminary and follow-up discussion)
We are exclusively there for you during the entire weekend. You are at the center – with your story, your dynamics, your questions.
The first step: a preliminary discussion
Before booking, we would like to get to know you personally – in the form of a two-on-two session. In this way, we can clarify together whether this framework suits you and whether we are the right companions for your path.
