One Day Interactive Workshop

Venue: Churchgate. Fees: Rs. 650/- per participant

Like Western countries, the divorce rate in our country is steadily on the rise. On going into details, invariably the cause is found to be either a physical incompatibility or emotional incongruity between the partners. Our personal observation has been, that in 90% cases the trauma of divorce could have easily been avoided, if only the young adults had undergone pre-marital orientation/counselling before getting into matrimony.

Statistics show that the rate of psychological disturbances due to ‘maladjustment’ in couples leading to Suicide, Homicide, Marital breakdown, Alcoholism, Drug abuse etc. are increasing at an alarming rate. Cases of depression, stress, nervous anxiety and psychosomatic disorders are on the rise particularly in married couples.
It is easy to fall in love. But it is a lot harder to stay in love. Does anyone systematically teach us how to have an emotionally and physically fulfilling and meaningful relationship? Probably ‘no one’. Well, finally, here is the missing information you need to create the happy marriage you deserve!

The “Heart to Heart Counselling Centre”, India’s first full-fledged Pre-marriage Counselling Centre (established in 1997), has been doing the pioneering work of helping young adults develop healthy attitudes and skills, to interact with their prospective partners, respectfully and in appropriate ways; so that they can develop and maintain meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

Being aware of crucial issues which could become contaminants in marital life, learning the art of healthy communication which can facilitate problem-solving in relationships, are some of the aspects which will be covered in this one-day interactive workshop.

We need to prepare the young generation to enter into matrimony with more awareness, clarity & understanding, and to help them develop more mutually caring, respectful and lasting relationships.

This Pre-Marital Counselling workshop for young adults will also enlighten the participants on all the aspects of a healthy sexual relationship.

Unlike more developed countries, sex education is still not advocated in schools or colleges in our country. Therefore, it is extremely important that those entering into matrimony be adequately informed about human sexuality, so that the correct scientific knowledge may lead to building healthy attitudes towards sex, high standards of conduct, responsible behavior, and wholesome personalities.

On receiving a healthy & complete understanding of all the aspects of the male-female relationship, the youngsters will definitely be able to tie the nuptial knot with more confidence and start their new relationship on a more sound footing.


Secrets of a Healthy Marriage
(A unique and contemporary couple therapy workshop)

A two-day weekend workshop
Timing: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Venue: Cooperage, Churchgate.
Fees: Rs. 1600/- per couple

Is your relationship with your partner less than ideal?
Do you find differences of opinion escalating into conflicts?
Would you like to delve into a deeper understanding of the art of intimacy?
Do you feel that your relationship can be further enriched, by understanding
some time-tested & well-researched secrets?

Maintaining a happy marriage may be the number one problem in the world today. It is easy to fall in love. But it is a lot harder to stay in love. Has anyone taught you how to have an emotionally and physically fulfilling and meaningful relationship? Probably ‘no one’! Well, finally, here is the missing information you need to create the happy marriage you deserve!

A happy marriage remains not only what most of us want, but what is actually best for us. Research shows us a lot of positive data associated with happy marriages. Happily married people have longer lives, fewer illnesses, higher self-concepts, less stress, more economic stability, and happier children.

The best marriage for you is probably the one you are in right now! But, like your body, your marriage won’t stay healthy if you neglect it. Drawing on years of research and counselling experience, we at the Heart To Heart Counselling Centre offer a ‘fitness program’ to rejuvenate your marriage and to maintain it as the strong, loving relationship we all want ours to be.
This program is a unique opportunity for couples, to not only rescue a failing relationship, but also to stabilize a troubled one, and to further strengthen a stable relationship.

A weekend workshop – Secrets of a Healthy Marriage – has been organised for those couples, who wish to actively work towards a healthy, meaningful and mutually fulfilling relationship.
The workshop consists of an insightful program in which couples are taken through a step-by-step reconnection process in which the art and science of healthy relationships is revealed. The workshop adopts a sensitive yet dynamic approach to relationship problems – teaching attitudes and skills that will help you transform your marriage into a healthy & vibrant partnership and KEEP IT THAT WAY.

NOTE: Self-disclosure will NOT be in the form of open sharing within the group. All sharing will be restricted to communication exercises between the couple.

Self-Help through Creative Writing
(A unique therapeutic workshop to heal the Self)

A two-day weekend workshop
Timing: 4 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.
Venue: Cooperage, Churchgate.
Fees: Rs. 750/- per participant

We, at the “Heart to Heart Counselling Centre” have been using ‘writing assignments’ as tools for self-exploration and also for relationship-building in our counselling practice.
We now offer a unique, experiential, self-empowering workshop – “Self-help through creative writing”, which empowers you with a powerful, valuable and effective tool for change, right within yourself. Participants will be offered a wide variety of creative writing tools, uniquely used for therapeutic purposes.

This writing workshop aims to help participants explore & express their life’s issues – their sorrows & joys, hopes & fears, dreams & aspirations – through the use of various writing forms.

Transformation and change, however dramatic or quiet, is always therapeutic and healing, as this workshop will demonstrate, using the medium of writing. What lies unexpressed or unknown within us, controls and limits us. The process of ‘playing’ with ‘writing styles and forms’ will help participants shed new light on long-standing issues that have become impediments to their growth. The workshop will help them to grow in self-knowledge as well as empathy with the other.

The experiential nature of the workshop is designed to give participants insights into themselves – their attitudes and behaviors, and to help them view life issues, and their way of handling them, in completely new and different ways. The processes of self-exploration, writing the various exercises, sharing, listening and empathizing, makes it a meaningful and effective learning experience, stimulating healing and growth.
This weekend workshop is particularly of great therapeutic value for all those who feel caught in a whirlpool of emotions. It will leave participants with a new understanding of themselves and their relationships, besides being equipped to face long-standing problems and new challenges.

This workshop is also extremely useful for all those who are in the helping profession (e.g. counsellors, psychologists, social workers, teachers etc.), and therefore need to equip themselves with various tools to help others.

This workshop will be conducted by Dr.Minnu Bhonsle(Psychotherapist & writer) along with Gouri Dange(writer-editor and a counsellor).
