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.
