All About This Workshop
Couples Repair & Reset was created to allow partners to explore their relational issues in a safe environment while learning how to work together to heal and improve their relationship. Combining Pia Mellody’s groundbreaking work on family of origin childhood relational trauma and Stan Tatkin’s mix of neuroscience, human biology of arousal, and attachment theory, couples work in small groups.
Using a holistic approach to healing, couples practice how to address painful issues utilizing boundaries, nervous system regulation techniques, and improved communication, building on existing strengths within the coupleship. New rules of engagement are introduced. Vulnerability is encouraged. Exploration of embroiled patterns stemming from family of origin are examined, reducing shame and aiding in the release of those behaviors. Couples Repair & Reset is designed by PIT- (Post-Induction Therapy) and PACT- (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) trained therapists.
Cost: $5,500 per couple, which includes
- meals
- evening activities (yoga, tai chi, auricular acupuncture, live music)
- 12-Step meeting
- Brain Spa access
- gym access

According to local legend, the clear, dry air of the Sonoran Desert has healing powers. For nearly a decade, the land we call home has served as a place of healing, and Rio Retreat Center at The Meadows continues that legacy, helping participants grow in their recovery, find lasting healing, and achieve new levels of wellness and self-discovery.
Take A Look Around
Famous for its breathtaking landscapes and tranquil beauty, the Wickenburg area rests on the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert, just south of Arizona’s mountainous country. When you arrive at Rio Retreat Center, we believe you’re entering sacred ground. The peaceful, natural setting has a long history of healing and continues to create an atmosphere conducive to contemplative work and self-examination.
This historic dude ranch from the 1920s retains its rustic feel while being updated for modern-day living and comfort. You may see our horses grazing in the meadow or someone walking our labyrinth. Our campus is also shared by local wildlife, including mule deer, a fox family, roadrunners and great-horned owls. Everywhere you look, the tranquility of Rio Retreat Center reinforces a mindset of recovery.
