Things Finally Make Sense

Many things are making more sense now that I have an awareness of my core wounds and why certain things triggers me. I have a better and deeper understanding about myself. I feel excited to sit with my husband so that we can co-create our relationship vision and love the structure and examples that were given to assist us.

Video transcript: So my wife and I have been married 24 years, and in that time we've gone through many phases and stages of our relationship. And at this time, when I saw Gareth, you know, mentioning the course, I felt like it'd be great to get some input, particularly on our communication frameworks. We've had a structure of checking in weekly for many, many years and I felt like I wanted refreshing in that space. I found the course itself super inspiring. I love the way the two of them communicate and what they share about their own relationship and how they see relationships. Their relationship agreements are really amazing. We've really taken on board a lot of that stuff. And the check in framework for a weekly, a quarterly, and a yearly check in has really worked for us and we continue to practice that and feel that's added a huge amount to our relationship. So thanks guys. You guys are doing awesome work and hope you get to spread the message to the world.

Powerful tools and frameworks that support our relationship

With the AMAZING tools offered by Gareth, highly motivated to both explore my wounded children aspectsof my psyche, before applying these findings to creating a well structured framework to work with in creating a much stronger bond between my selves as well as greater clarity in recognizing when those aspects are attempting to sabatage my relationship with my artner Clair who thankfully also attended the workshop. She is also blown away by the great framework offered in the course. Big thanks to you and Rici for your dedication in improving the lives of us all.......

I'm letting go unhealthy relationship habits, and building healthier ones!

I entered the Built to Last master class with a sense of curiosity and wonder of what I might receive from this experience, after I already having studied so many modalities on my own and in other containers. I found everything super helpful and succinctly brought together and a very easily understandable format. I especially liked the breakout sessions and I felt good to learn from others experiences as well. I feel as though this kind of work takes a lifetime, and I appreciate these rather simple tools, tips, techniques, and reminders, that felt like we were exploring to the depths of our being, to help keep this inner work moving. I highly recommend this course for anyone that wants to start whittling away at unhealthy habits and start building new ones to create relationships that will withstand the test of time.

Video transcript: Hello, everybody. My name is David O'. Byrne. I am 29 years old and from Pretoria, South Africa. I would like to leave a testimonial for the Built To Last course with Gareth and Ricky that I attended. It was a very powerful experience for me. I've been on a journey of celibacy from the last two years because of a particularly bad breakup that I've been really taking a lot of time to understand and get to the. The bottom of how a relationship that kind of started with. With such good intentions kind of ended so toxically. And it left me feeling shocked that I sort of allowed these things to deteriorate to. To that point. And after this period of two years and the celibacy, I've really been feeling like I want to put myself back out there, start talking to girls, start going on dates. And the Built to Last came at the perfect time because I am really excited to open my heart up again. But it's. You've got to also protect yourself. And so I felt like Built to Last gave me the frameworks and the tools that can allow me to start interacting with women that are coming into my space and setting up strong boundaries and being very open and honest about them so that I don't let things reach a point like they did in my previous relationship. And this is all to do with clear communication, strong boundaries, letting people know when they're overstepping those. Those. Those boundaries and not being so reactive. I think men can oftentimes be very emotionally reactive, and that doesn't. Doesn't help those situations to be so emotionally reactive. And these tools allow you to, instead of just reacting, sort of take a breath, sit with it and rather respond accordingly. So responding based on how you. Yeah, how you feel, but not responding emotionally as if on autopilot. So if there's anybody. I'm single, I'm not dating anybody. This is not just a course for people in relationships. It's also for people who are looking to build new relationships and just want to make sure that everybody is. Yeah, everybody is on the same page and that you build a happy and healthy relationship that can last the test of time. So if you're interested, I would highly recommend that you do this, and even not for romantic relationships, but all the relationships in your life will benefit from your work relationships, to clients, to just people you bump into randomly. Our life is all a product of our relationship with those around us. So peace and love. I would definitely recommend you join us.

Relatable + Authentic, while also light-hearted.

I’ve done some one on one coaching with Gareth and really enjoyed his approach and teachings. So, when Gareth invited me to join his and Rici’s built to last relationship workshop, I thought this would be a great opportunity to work through my relationship insecurities and the relationship with myself. I enjoyed that we could enjoy the workshop from the comfort of our own homes. This interactive workshop included engaging discussions, a workbook, and some fun activities to keep things light-hearted. Gareth and Rici also shared personal experiences and how they have dealt with their own relationship challenges, which made the workshop feel relatable and authentic. Overall, these workshops can be deep and emotional, but Gareth and Rici managed to keep things balanced and light-hearted while still creating a safe space for meaningful conversations. Marilyn. 🫶🏼

I gained a new perspective on relationships

I feel light and energized! What a resourceful workshop in the world of spirituality! I have gained wonderful tools from another perspective, that can be easily applied in a relationship. The quiz was also mindblowing with getting my blueprint spot on correct. It reveals the blindspot about yourself.

I see the pattern affecting all my relaitonships

I am single and have been calling in partnership and want to break some of the unhealthy patterns of past relationships. The pre-workshop assessment brought a pattern to light that I had not been tracking before. The workshop helped me see how that pattern has been impacting how I relate, not only romantically, but in many of my relationships. I also loved how Gareth & Rici shared some of the communication tools that they use in their own relationship, on which to build trust, intimacy, and a strong connection when in partnership. The workshop has given me the confidence and resolve to be more open to exploring new connections.

I gained clarity on my core beliefs and practical tools for healthy relating

Ricky and Gareth were incredibly attentive and shared deep, practical knowledge. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and safe for sharing. I left with much deeper clarity on the core beliefs that drives my relational challenges and relational dynamics and practical tools for healthy relating. This was a worthwhile experience for any couple or individual looking to grow and strengthen their connections.
