About the event

"Creating Intimate Connections" Weekend Workshop
In this workshop, we are continuing the “Mariah Method” with the importance of healthy relationships as a foundation for living a healthy life.

“My approach is experiential, and supports my belief that as people are damaged by experience, so are they healed by experience. To this end, all my clients participate physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually in their own healing process. The organism of each client holds the secret to what it needs, and what is enough.” – Mariah Fenton Gladis 1948 – 2018

Cost: $650 for individual working space, $525 for group space, and $350 for students and alums of our Center. Healthy meals and snacks are provided. Limited lodging is available at $170/weekend, shared occupancy. Healthy meals and snacks are included. If you are in financial need, there are a limited number of scholarships available. Learn more and apply on our scholarship page.

Sometimes feel disconnected from family, friends and loved ones, cast out, alone?

What you are really feeling is a threat to your emotional safety, cut off from any connections and vulnerable to isolation, illness, divorce and career failure. If you like to create positive change in your relationships with family, friends, lovers, and partners, then join us in this workshop and increase your Partner-ability! This workshop is for individuals or couples.

At this workshop you will learn to:

Understand how early attachments have shaped your relationships for better or worse
Deepen your understanding of the dynamics of successful relating
Learn keys to creating successful relationships
Practice risking positive action with others in a safe environment
Assess your abilities and disabilities and deepen your relationship skills and capacity to love.
It’s an exciting opportunity for an ongoing professional and personal growth process supervised by master practitioners, Dori Middleman, MD, Mark Putnam, MD, and Liz Dideon Hess, LCSW.
