The Marriage Mastery Webconference
A Relationship-Saving Experience!
Introducing a New Webconference - Coming Soon
All relationships are challenging — so learning the skills to navigate them is essential. The Marriage Mastery Webconference teaches the requisite tools for relationship success.
This course enables us to not merely survive but to thrive in our relations.
Marriage Mastery shares the breakthrough insights and exceptional techniques that enlighten our relationships. This program is developed and facilitated by Mel Schwartz, psychotherapist and author of the widely acclaimed book, The Art of Intimacy, The Pleasure of Passion.
Mel is a noted marriage counselor and has pioneered a uniquely successful protocol for creating joyful relationships. His work illuminates the insights and skills that enable joyful relating. Mel is widely recognized as a leading thinker and innovator in relationship work. He has worked with individuals and couples locally, nationally and internationally.
Participate in this exceptional opportunity and learn to:
- Break free from the old arguments
- Communicate with clarity and compassion
- Achieve the skills of empathic listening
- Re-create passion
- Develop a shared vision
- Become best friends and lovers
Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?
The argument about who is right or wrong blocks the opportunity for joyful relating. Mel often asks couples if they’d rather be happy or if they’d rather be right. Although everyone claims that they prefer happiness, they default to the fight about right or wrong. He teaches us to break free from this mindless habit, creating opportunities to thrive in our relationship.
The solutions to relationship struggles lie in learning the art of listening. The gift of dialogue — of truly hearing one another and validating your partner’s point of view, even if you’re not in agreement — provides the foundation for an intimate exchange. The loss of emotional intimacy is at the heart of relationship difficulties.
Please visit the Webconferences page to learn how our Webconference offers work.

The Emergent Thinking Course
Tuesdays: 7:30-9:00pm - starting January 26th, 2010 (6 weeks)
Westport Location, TBA
The Emergent Thinking course is a dynamic learning experience, in which psychotherapist and author, Mel Schwartz shares his breakthrough approach to personal evolution.
He integrates many of the remarkable discoveries from the emerging sciences into a practical everyday approach for becoming unstuck and living to your fullest potential.
This promises to be a life-altering experience!
Join us and learn to:
- Develop powerful mastery of thought and communication skills
- Transcend issues of anxiety, depression, fear and existential struggle
- Attain new levels of confidence and learn to release fearful thinking
- Break free from the habitual replay of old thoughts, feelings and habits
- Enhance your intellectual intuition and learn to utilize synchronicity
- Liberate your relationships from old patterns
In traditional psychotherapy we may spend many years exploring the causes of our struggles, looking backward in a reductive way. Yet, we still struggle to change, if not transform our lives. We long to get unstuck from our habitual patterns.
Mainstream therapy is stuck as well, in a paradigm of outmoded science based upon objectivity and causality. This worldview encumbers our lives, demoralizes our souls and creates disempowerment and fear.
The problem is not what we think, but how we think. If we long for change, and better still, transformation, we need to learn to think in an emergent manner. Emergent Thinking enables us the mastery to live more joyfully and creatively.
