Harville Hendrix, PhD and Helen La Kelly Hunt, PhD, the co-founders of Imago Relationship Therapy, are coming to Melbourne and Sydney in February 2010, and will present a series of public lectures and workshops, and advanced training for Imago therapists -


Living Your Dream Relationship: The Four Non-Negotiables
Public Lecture by Harville Hendrix

This lecture invites participants to -

The lecture is based on Imago Relationship principals, described in Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt's books, Keeping The Love You Find, and Getting The Love You Want.


Couplehood as a Spiritual Path
Public Lecture by Harville Hendrix on Valentine's Day

This lecture invites couples to learn how their relationship is an invitation for spiritual growth and healing.

Committed partnership can be one of the most accessible ways of experiencing God's love, but it does not always feel that way. No matter how hard couples try, it is not always easy to "will" love unconditionally. Achieving and sustaining this kind of love requires an investment of time and energy and a willingness to transcend our usual patterns.

This lecture can shift how you feel about yourself, your partner, and the whole of your life. Couplehood as a Spiritual Path is a faith-centered educational program for couples developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. Based on Imago principles described in the best selling book Getting The Love You Want, this program is designed for all committed couples who want to realize their relationship potential.


Getting The Love You Want Couples Workshop
Presented by Harville Hendrix and Helen La Kelly Hunt

This unique workshop is appropriate for you...

The Getting the Love You Want Workshop for Couples Includes a mix of lectures, guided imagery exercises, partner's dialogue and communication processes. The workshop is conducted in a safe, comfortable environment with no pressure for self-disclosure. There will be adequate time for couples to share their experiences privately. A workbook guides you through exercises during and after the workshop.

Note: This couples workshop is a prerequisite for therapists who may wish to proceed with further training that will lead to becoming a Certified Imago Therapist.


Professional Workshop
Imago Relationship Therapy Training - An Introduction

Day 1 will be presented by Harville Hendrix, PhD, and day 2 will be presented by Brenda Rawlings and Peter McMillan, Certified Imago Clinical Instructors and Faculty Members of the Imago International Institute.

These two days are the equivalent of the first two days of the 12 day Basic Clinical Training in Imago Relationship Therapy. Brenda and Peter will deliver the remainder of the training program, which leads to Certification as an Imago Therapist, in Melbourne and Sydney, beginning in June 2010. See Basic Clinical Training.

Imago Relationship Therapy is a coherent and comprehensive theory and practice which enables practitioners to gain an in-depth understanding of relationship dynamics and an effective method for working with couples. Couples learn to create emotional safety and intimacy in their relationship, to move from reactivity to intentionality and to renew the love, passion, and possibility of their life together.

Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, are the innovative thinkers behind this comprehensive and effective method for conducting couples therapy. Authors of the best selling Getting the Love You Want: a Guide for Couples, they have developed a sound theory and practice that makes sense out of this difficult specialty.

Peter and Brenda are a dynamic, complementary and experienced team who will hold you on your training journey with wisdom and sensitivity.
