With Dori Middleman, MD, Mark Putnam, MD and Jay Burkholder, MSS, LSW

In this workshop, we are continuing the “Mariah Method” with the importance of healthy relationships as a foundation for living a healthy life.

“My approach is experiential, and supports my belief that as people are damaged by experience, so are they healed by experience. To this end, all my clients participate physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually in their own healing process. The organism of each client holds the secret to what it needs, and what is enough.” – Mariah Fenton Gladis 1948 – 2018

Cost: $595 for individual working space, $475 for group space, and $300 for students and alums of our Center.

Sometimes feel disconnected from family, friends and loved ones, cast out, alone?

What you are really feeling is a threat to your emotional safety, cut off from any connections and vulnerable to isolation, illness, divorce and career failure. If you like to create positive change in your relationships with family, friends, lovers, and partners, then join us in this workshop and increase your Partner-ability!
