Get Together
We currently have two virtual and one in-person groups meeting. They are also called sharing groups, Flame, Circle, Spiral, etc.
Couples who have attended a Marriage Encounter Experience are welcome to join us from all faiths and all geographic locations.
These get togethers offer married couples who have already attended a Marriage Encounter experience the opportunity to meet with other Encountered couples who prioritize their marriages. Plan for each session to take about an hour.
Please have your dialogue notebooks with you as each gathering will include a presentation by one of the couples and a time to write and dialogue. There will also be fellowship time as well as the opportunity to share openly on the dialogue question. Anything that is shared is to be kept confidential
