Upcoming Women's Workshops
July 24-26, 2025
THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL. Please consider the OCTOBER 23-25 Workshop.
Who should attend this workshop?
Our Women’s Journey Workshop is for women who are struggling with their partner’s infidelity, unwanted sexual behaviors, or sexual addiction. Whether new to discovery and counseling, or farther along in your journey, there will be helpful information for you at this workshop. You do not need to know whether you are staying or not in your marriage. You may have many decisions that are not clear, as well. We welcome the messiness of the process and invite you just to begin. The teachings and experiences at the workshop will help you figure out your next right step.
Should I attend counseling before attending the workshop?
Our counselors recommend that all women new to discovery of their husband's sexual addiction engage in a counseling relationship prior to attending the Woman's Workshop. This ensures that all attendees have a safety net to support them in their healing journey. If you have questions about your readiness to attend our Women's Workshop, please give us a call.
What types of betrayal do you address at the workshop?
Our workshop is designed to address all forms of betrayal that a women may have encountered. With over 30 years of experience, both personal and professional, our Workshop team has worked extensively with women from all walks of life. Whether betrayal has been from pornography, masturbation, physical and/or emotional affairs, massage parlors, prostitution, dating websites, sexting, voyeurism, exhibitionism, same-sex connections, or sexual fetishes, this workshop will establish a program for you to focus on your own healing.
I feel alone in my grief. What will I learn at the Women’s Journey Workshop?
You are not alone! There will be large and small group opportunities to learn about grieving, finding safe people, being heard and understood about “not being crazy”- a feeling most women have after discovering the many lies about their relationship. The healing process begins for you when you start naming your losses and being validated for your pain from other women who understand. Since all of our workshop counselors have “been there”, they can offer compassion and empathy as well as relevant teaching. Participants will learn about trauma- what it is, how your body responds to it, symptoms you may experience, and ways to manage it. Women will also learn how relationships develop over time and how to support, not control, their spouse’s healing journey. The leaders will explore trust-building with women and create a plan for moving forward. Women will have the opportunity to meet others from all over the country- and often leave with some very close, supportive friendships that continue for a lifetime.
We've tried couples counseling and it didn't work. Why will a workshop be different?
Couples counseling is often pre-mature when there has been a recent discovery of infidelity, especially if the focus is on growing or healing the marriage before there is sobriety or full-disclosure (truth-telling). We often meet as couples initially to discuss the plan for both of you moving forward, to establish if there is enough safety without a time of separation, to prepare for full-disclosure of acting out, and to emphasize the importance of each of you having your own counselor to proceed. We also know that building a community of safe people for sharing and support is essential to well-being and growth. One of the assets of our workshops is gathering people from all over the country with similar stories to build that community for you. We believe that the early focus of getting help individually is better for both partners. Marriage work is added when a wife feels ready and knows her spouse is sober and full-disclosure has been completed.

FAQ
The Answers You Need
Women's
Journey Workshop
Many women whose partners have been unfaithful or who disclose sexual addiction, can feel isolated and alienated, with little recourse. Women in these situations often feel that they have no where to turn and no one to talk to. The Women's Journey Workshop helps women know they're not alone and helps them re-establish their sense of worth and value.
One of the most difficult situations for women facing betrayal trauma is having people to talk to. We discuss who is a safe person to share your story with and how to decide how much to share. Knowing you have choices in all your decisions in the journey will give you more peace. Most women find that the workshop participants are some of the first people they can talk to about the pain of betrayal. Through the many teaching experiences, you are empowered to make decisions for your well-being, regardless of your spouse’s choices. When you compassionately detach from your spouse’s journey and focus on what you need personally and from your partner, you can learn how to choose your “next right steps”. These slowly lead to safety, peace, and purpose.
If you are a woman who has been affected by your partner's infidelity or sexual addiction, please know that you are not alone. The Women's Journey Workshop can help you to heal and to move forward in your life.

Your Women's Journey Workshop
Team
There when you need it most, meet your guides along the Women's Journey.
Attending the women's workshop was everything I never knew I needed to do for myself. I have never shared the story of my husband's struggles, his secrets had somehow become my own. So when Debbie recommended I start my journey by attending a weekend that would require me to walk into a room filled with other women, I thought she was crazy. It was hard enough for me to tell one person (her) let alone a room full of strangers.
She was not crazy.
I cannot believe the difference in where I am in my heart from when I entered that room on Thursday morning, to when I left it Saturday afternoon. I feel seen, and I am learning to be gentle with myself. My steps forward have less and less to do with my husband, and everything to do with what I need in order to be everything God has very clearly called and marked me to be.
I just want to say thank you to Elizabeth, Beth, and Debbie. The richness of learning from your life experience and seeing you each still walk with hearts that are fashioned by God's love and grace - indescribable hope for me. Thank you.
