Activities at Atsitsa Bay, Greece
Relationships with Ari Badaines
Sat 5 - Sat 12 Jul 2025
This course first looks at internet dating, and some of the common mistakes people make and how to avoid them. We will then focus on building relationships (intimate, friendship, work) which includes Assertiveness Training to promote good communication skills that will enable you to be heard without putting the other down and negotiating mutually satisfying outcomes - a win-win solution! The last part of the course includes mistakes that people make when relationships get into difficulty, how to repair those 'ruptures', and how to use a range of methods that keep the relationship growing and thriving, including a bit on sexuality.
What's included?

About Ari Badaines
Ari Badaines is a powerful group therapist with over 50 years (wow, that many!? – yep) who is supportive and caring and when necessary also confronting; he believes it is always your choice as to your level of participation but will encourage your risking to benefit from the group.
If we go back, way back in history, you will find a young Ari as the Waterfront Director in an American summer camp; this entailed designing, supervising, and teaching swimming, and canoeing/kayaking/sailing as well as overall responsibility for waterfront safety. Over the years, he has helped many learn to swim and improve their swimming strokes. He qualified as an Instructor in Lifesaving, Swimming, Water Safety and Canoeing/Kayaking, and in his early years served as a lifeguard in the USA at summer camps, swimming pools, and similar venues. He even was involved in a rescue on the Thames in London, but you'll have to come to Atsitsa to hear how that story ends!
