One day seminar from our recent speaker Sherilyn Siy

Seven Principles Couples Retreat

Date: September 13, 2015 (Sunday)
Time: 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Where: Koma Old Town House (a historical residence overlooking the famous purse shaped field called Kinchakuda), Hidaka Saitama (nearest station is Koma station along the Seibu Chichibu Line)
Cost: ¥5,000 per couple (minimum of 5 couples, maximum of 10 couples)
Presented by Sherilyn Siy and Charles McJilton
Why: Because the greatest gift you can give your baby is a strong relationship between the two of you.

Why so cheap?
1. This is a special TPG rate.
2. Some couples already have the book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work which will be used for the workshop. Some may want to have the book on hand before the workshop, and some couples want two books (one for each person) so we have decided to let couples purchase their own books on Amazon and reduce the cost. 
3. Cost does not include lunch. There are a number of lunch options in the neighborhood: From the famous Alishan Organic Cafe (vegetarian), to a ramen joint dishing up tan-tan men, to simple and easy 7-11. You are also welcome to bring your own bento and enjoy it by the riverside or up the hill which has a nice view of the famous Kinchakuda. 
4. Most couples will be traveling from Tokyo and we wanted to offset traveling cost. 

To reserve your slot for the retreat, kindly email sherilyn3@gmail.com

Jul 29, 2015
