Couples One-on-One Retreat

Dream2Gether Retreat is a personalised 1:1 session for couples.

Available with 3 month’s notice.

Inspiring couples to build significant lives together.

DREAM2GETHER is a short intensive specifically designed for couples looking to build their Halftime journey together. It takes place either as an individual or group retreat.

Halftime Australia understands the impact transitioning from success to significance has on marriages and families. This program offers valuable hands-on tools to help couples navigate the unique challenges of this season of life, as well as be intentional in setting the course of the second half of their lives and also create a meaningful legacy.

In our busy fast-paced world, DREAM2GETHER is an exclusive opportunity for couples to get away from the pressures and distractions of daily living. The retreat is purposely interactive and allows couples time together to pause, reflect and take stock, to dream beyond their limits and craft roadmaps to live out those dreams.

We have provided a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for your convenience. If you have further questions or require any more information about DREAM2GETHER or the retreat, please contact us here.

Is DREAM2GETHER for all married couples?

The program has been specifically designed for couples who are in or approaching a “Halftime” season and longing for more meaning in the second half of their marriage and life.

What if we are not married, can we still be part of DREAM2GETHER?

Due to the material covered, the program is not recommended for unmarried couples.

How many couples will be part of the group retreat?

The individual retreat will just be you and your spouse, and the facilitators. In order to provide a relaxed and comfortable environment, the group retreat is limited to 10 couples including the facilitators.

Should I be concerned about confidentiality?

For the protection of individuals, group retreat delegates are required to sign a confidentiality agreement and maintain a high level of confidentiality with all information and conversations shared.

In the group retreat, how much time is spent in group settings and how much couple time?

The format of the two-day group retreat is a combination of presentations, group & couples workshops, and couples reflective, dreaming & planning sessions. These are specifically developed to guide private conversation between couples.

At the end of the retreat what will I walk away with?

As a couple you will leave the retreat with tools to help clarify your dreams, plan to make them a reality and begin the journey into the best season of your life.

Is there anything that I should do in preparation for the retreat?

In preparation for the retreat, we encourage couples to read the book, Halftime (Bob Buford) and complete a StrengthsFinder assessment (StrengthsFinder – Tom Rath). Halftime Australia will supply participants with these resources once the deposit has been paid.

Disclaimer: Halftime DREAM2GETHER is not marriage guidance or marriage counselling and is based on Christian values. Couples of all faiths or no faith are welcome. Halftime holds to the Christian teaching that marriage is a covenant that exists between one man and one woman. Any reference to marriage or couple made by Halftime DREAM2GETHER is in this context.

Stay An Extra Night?

If you are part of the group retreat, why not take advantage of beautiful Noosa, spend some time relaxing at the beach or stay an extra night at Novotel Twin Waters, Noosa?

A beachfront resort nestled alongside the ocean and river is a 4-star secluded property and set as one of the top Sunshine Coast places to stay.
