Finding and Keeping Love Weekend Workshop For Individuals
An Imago Workshop for Individuals
Most of us don't struggle in love because we're unlucky.
We struggle because we don't yet understand the patterns we carry.
Keeping the Love You Find is a powerful educational workshop based on the work of Dr Harville Hendrix and Imago Relationship Therapy. It is designed for individuals — whether single, dating, separated, divorced or in a relationship — who want to understand why relationships unfold the way they do, and how to create something more conscious in the future.
This is not therapy. It is a structured, reflective process that helps you join the dots between your early experiences and your adult love life.
Why Do We Repeat the Same Patterns?
In childhood, we all adapt in order to survive and belong. We learn how to get love. We learn how to avoid pain. We also give up parts of ourselves along the way.
Without realising it, we are drawn to partners who mirror aspects of those early experiences. That is why romantic attraction can feel so powerful — and why conflict can feel so painful and familiar.
The workshop helps you understand your personal “Imago” — the unconscious template that influences who you are drawn to — and how this shapes both romance and the power struggle that often follows.
When you can see the pattern, you are no longer controlled by it.
What We Explore
Over the course of the workshop you will:
- Reflect on your childhood experiences and the adaptations you developed
- Understand the predictable stages of intimate relationship
- Learn the core Imago Dialogue process (mirroring, validation and empathy)
- Identify defensive patterns that show up under stress
- Begin reclaiming parts of yourself that were pushed aside
The aim is not to find the perfect partner.
It is to become a conscious partner.
Who This Is For
This workshop is especially helpful if you feel stuck in repeating relationship cycles, are recovering from a break-up, or want to approach future partnership differently.
You do not need to be in a relationship to benefit. In fact, this can be one of the most valuable times to do the work.
The Outcome
Participants often leave with greater clarity, self-compassion and a deeper understanding of why past relationships unfolded as they did. More importantly, they leave with practical tools and a renewed sense of hope.
Love is not random. It follows patterns.
When we bring those patterns into awareness, something changes.
If you are ready to prepare for a more conscious, lasting relationship, this workshop offers a structured and supportive place to begin.
