A wax seal pressed onto a letter at sunset, a small gathering beyond

PERSONAL · A THIRD FIELD PRACTICE

The Union Covenant.

A private, Director-led gathering for a partnership entering or renewing a promise. Mark an anniversary, a proposal or a new chapter with time to talk about what the commitment means.

Ask about your gathering

A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE CONVERSATION

The promise, in everyday life.

Your private questionnaire helps the Director shape the day around your partnership, using selected Couples Workbook exercises. Begin with questions like these, and take part at your own pace.

What do you want this promise to mean in the lives you are living now?
When you see things differently, what helps each of you feel heard without requiring agreement?
What everyday act would make your care or commitment more visible to the other person?

What may stay with you

Words for what matters now. A small practice you choose together. A promise made more concrete in everyday life. You decide what to carry forward.

What this
makes room for.

Your story, time for private reflection, chosen witnesses and words to return to later. The Director holds the pace so you can attend to each other and to the commitment you want to make.

Your scope, made clear.

Personal Councils gather up to eight, and start at $3,200 for up to four guests and $6,800 for 6–8. Other sizes are quoted individually, and larger groups are arranged by proposal.

The Couples Workbook is included for continued practice. Your proposal also confirms preparation, live support, written materials and hospitality arrangements.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you gather.

Is the Union Covenant only for a wedding or vow renewal?

It can mark an anniversary, a proposal or a deliberate new chapter in a partnership. The focus and the people present are agreed with you; a formal ceremony is not required.

What if we remember the same moment differently?

Each person speaks from their own experience. The Director helps you listen to the differences, and either person can pass or keep a reflection private.

What might we carry forward?

Perhaps clearer language for what each person needs, or a small commitment both freely choose. Your proposal confirms the written materials that will stay with you.
