Make room to reconnect together
Some retreats ask guests to turn inward; this weekend is designed to help couples turn toward each other. Dr. Shardae Tripp and Associates creates therapeutic experiences focused on clearer communication, renewed connection, and leaving with a stronger sense of being understood and supported. The setting is Ocean Manor Beach Resort, an oceanfront hotel on Galt Ocean Drive, where the shoreline gives couples room to step away from everyday demands and concentrate on the relationship. The weekend includes a welcome cocktail reception, a sensory dining experience, and a farewell brunch with unlimited mimosas, alongside other meals and refreshments. Resort amenities include a pool, spa, restaurant, in-room air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. The retreat runs by donation, so confirm the expected contribution and upcoming dates with the host before making plans. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is nearby, and rideshare services, taxis, and rental cars can connect travelers with the resort.
