I came to the Annapurna Center for Self-Healing with my wife, to give her "support" while she was getting a gallbladder cleanse ("support" meaning I'd hold her hand and encourage her, maybe do some of the yoga stuff with her, but mostly stay in our room and catch up on work). But Annapurna's Director, Robin, convinced me (over my intense misgivings) that it would be better - no essential - for me to participate
fully with Patti. And she was right. (She always is.) The experience brought us closer and deepened our relationship. And those words are completely inadequate to express what happened; only those who have experienced it can know.
An unexpected side-effect was the amazing change in my own health. I am literally, a new man. Just as the Center's program produced better communication on many levels, with my wife, it also resulted in better comunication between me and my body - an awareness I'd never had before of just what my body is trying to tell me.
