JACKSON, Wyo. — Ahead of Valentine’s Day, local couples can participate in a free workshop to strengthen bonds.

“The Eight Dates” will be a therapist-facilitated couples workshop held in-person and virtually on one Wednesday evening per month for the next eight months. Participants will explore eight topics “designed to deepen romantic connection, build emotional safety and help partners truly know each other again,” per the event announcement.

Audrey DuRoss, LCSW, will facilitate the workshops on behalf of the Mental Wellness Collaborative. The workshop will draw from the work of relationship therapists John and Julie Gottman.

The first meeting will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 6:30 p.m. Contact audreyduross@yahoo.com to register.
