Feedback from prior frum couples:
This workshop is a must for every frum couple no matter how your marriage looks. It’s impossible to explain what it feels like and looks like to sit in a room with some vulnerable, brave and smart heimisha couples and for the first time feeling “I am not alone” “I am not the only one”.
Marriage is a struggle which when you work on it and get the right understanding you get to really feel what real life and connection feels and looks like.
If I could change the world I would run around the streets with a microphone shouting and begging every single couple to gift themselves and join the most beautiful and meaningful workshop with Debi Scimeca-Diaz and JJ Rieder
If you are nervous or concerned do like me … close your eyes, don’t think about it and jump into it! It’s worth every penny!
2 weeks after the workshop:
Although two weeks have passed since the workshop, the powerfulness of the experience is still fresh in our minds. The simple beauty of the concepts you shared—presented in such a concrete, clear manner—contrasted with the depth of potential connection they bring to a relationship, left an incredible impression on us.
Prior to the workshop, we were anxious and fearful about what to expect. However, within the first few minutes, we instinctively knew we were in good hands. Your welcoming, reassuring smiles and palpable energy brought a lightness to the room that eased our tension and made us eager to listen. Throughout the two days, your vulnerability, passion, and genuine empathy engaged our hearts and our focus.
Additionally, the group setting—the very element we were most afraid of—provided exactly what we were seeking: camaraderie and shared experience. The environment felt non-judgmental and courageous, and we’d dare to say, sacred.
We discovered things about ourselves and each other that at first, were quite unsettling. Yet, it allowed us to build something real and meaningful. At least, now we know where to look when we get stuck again: in those “sub-cellars” of our hearts. Ultimately, the discoveries, however uncomfortable initially, create a connection so powerful, and for that we are grateful.
In fact, it was perhaps for the first time that we felt on a soul level, the depth and potential of our marriage, the foreverness of it.
We thank you wholeheartedly, for your time, presence, and wisdom. The innovation you each bring to the community is truly appreciated. We look forward to continuing our journey of healing and connection.
Forever grateful and inspired.
