A New Resource Helping Lesbians Create & Sustain Healthy Relationships Relationships can be challenging for everyone, but queer women and lesbians often have some particular problem spots in the areas of communication, merging and sex. Add that to the homophobia many of us experience, the abuse histories we often have, and the fact that we grew up without models of healthy, happy queer or lesbian love – and it’s no wonder many of us need some help creating and sustaining the relationship of our dreams! We know. We’ve been there! Each of us struggled through a number of painful relationships and breakups before we finally created the deeply stable, passionate, open-hearted and nourishing connection we now enjoy. After eight years, it truly grows stronger, deeper and richer every day! But getting here took us many years of trial and error. Michelle’s first long-term partnership was abusive. Ruth tended to get together with “unavailable” women. We both went through our share of drama, fights and heartache. Finally we realized… It’s not just about meeting the right woman. It’s about making the right choices, every step of the way. That’s what we learned how to do – and we want to help you do it, too! While life experience has been our greatest teacher, we also have professional credentials: between the two of us, we’ve taught at eight universities, published 14 books, and hold advanced degrees in Neuroscience, Transpersonal Psychology and Theological Studies. We’ve also been members of the lesbian/queer communities for over 30 years. Now we’ve combined everything we know to create Conscious Girlfriend – and to make love easier for you. We’ve got lots of ways to help – including the many free resources on this site: videos, articles, our “Ask CG” advice column, and the “Five Keys to a Happy Lesbian Relationship,” which you’ll receive just by entering your email address in the right-hand column. We also offer coaching to both individuals and couples. Whether you’re healing from a breakup, navigating dating, “single and looking” or struggling in a relationship – or simply wanting to take your connection deeper – we will work with you 2:1 or 2:2 to give you direct, focused support. Coaching is not like therapy; it’s a much faster path to transformation! Check it out here. And we’ve got an amazing retreat coming up! Imagine spending the weekend at a beautiful hilltop retreat center, eating gourmet food, soaking in the hot tub, connecting with like-minded “conscious girlfriends” from all over the country – while also learning the lesbian-specific communication, intimacy-sustaining and conflict-healing skills that can transform your (love) life?! Special pricing available thru 3/22/2014.
If you are over 60 – please know that it is not too late! Many of the women at our workshops are in your age range. Some are long-time singles who had grown weary of drama, and cynical about creating lasting love. But the tools we offer can help. If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you, too, are in just the right spot. The skills and tools we’ll help you learn will make a huge difference in the rest of your (love) life. And if you are under 40 – or even under 30 – please know that it is also not too early to become a Conscious Girlfriend! Many of the women who contact us are struggling through their first or second deep relationship – or breakup – and wondering, “Isn’t there a better way?” (And the answer is: Yes, there is – and we’ll help you create it!) Why Conscious Girlfriend? And why now? If you google “relationship coaching” or “relationship classes,” you’ll find literally thousands of options out there… and 99.999% will be heterosexual. Although most straight relationship coaches and workshop leaders are open to participants of all sexual orientations, how comfortable would you really feel being the only queer couple at a workshop…or talking about your intimate issues with someone who just may not “get it?” There have been painfully few options for lesbians and queer women who really wanted to grow their relationships… until now. This is our moment — we’re out of the closet and walking down the altar! Now that we finally have greater social acceptance, it’s time for us to learn to create and sustain the happy love relationships we want and deserve – not just for our own sake, but for the sake of our entire community. It’s time for happy, healthy queer and lesbian love! In May, they will host their first live Conscious Girlfriend weekend retreat! Please check out their website at www.consciousgirlfriend.com
