Getting to We...
I called Lon and Sandy in the midst of a relationship crisis. We weren’t sure we were going to stay together. Still, we were both committed to moving through our crisis to become better people in the world, whether together or apart. I knew Lon and Sandy were very experienced; that's all I knew. We soon learned that they were also generous, creative, clear, and firm, yet simple with their coaching. Their personal coaching was very valuable to us. There was nothing to believe; just reflections to engage in, coaching to try out, and choices to make. After several months of coaching (personal, telecoaching and 2 workshops), we suddenly found ourselves ready for a newly-discovered power--operating and seeing life and its choices from the perspective of "we".
A new world of relationship is available to us now—and we’re solidly exploring and living it! The "dire" issues we struggled with before, fell away as we switched to addressing all issues as "we"--as an extraordinary couple would. The issues that come up now, we meet with a team effort--with a new kind of clarity and ease. We are forever grateful. By following Lon and Sandy's coaching and example, we not only saved our marriage; we have an extraordinary, unimaginable marriage where our bond is our freedom--where anything is possible living day-to-day, from "we".

I’ve seen that the idea that I’ve been looking for and expecting a fantasy relationship is the cause of most of my issues with my wife. I am excited about creating and declaring games as a new way of relating – not only to my wife, but to the rest of my life as well. We're both players in games. I suspect that my satisfaction with my wife will grow. I thought the workshop was excellent. It was well worth every bit of effort. This workshop is just what I was looking for. Mike Simms
Seeing the fantasies and having a new way to relate to them was very empowering. Setting up a design for our goals and objectives and then putting them into action allows us to create (our) relationship as a game. This allowed us to begin to design our relationship and what we are up to in a concrete way.

A real insight for me is that I don’t have to fix everything or everyone. What I’ve gotten out of the workshop has already relieved a lot of stress.

Sandy & Lon are for your couple. Being with them makes it almost impossible to settle for the ordinary world of off-and-on connection, suppressed or vented disappointments, and accepting "good enough" as, well, good enough. They take couples and families on an exploration of what we think and what we expect about our relationships, and they skillfully turn dozens of our ideas upside-down. You wouldn’t let just anybody dismantle your complacency this way: you know from beginning to end that Sandy & Lon are doing it with deep authenticity and out of their radiant love of people.

I can see I have been trying to control certain things in my Dad and boyfriend. I have not been letting them be who they are…they should be a certain way. I am committed to being honest with them. This workshop was a great experience. Both of you are such an inspiration and so generous. Renee Bakhshandeh
