We would like to invite Second Generation blessed couples to our meeting on 1-4 March,
2012. This time we will meet in Spain, in the lovely region of Catalonia in a hostel in the city of
Barcelona.
We want to use the meeting to reflect, share together, and learn about things which can help
us to better manage and enjoy our partnership as a Blessed couple. The meeting is a great
chance for us to have a good time and enjoy some vacations. We will have a chance to explore
the city of Barcelona. We can enjoy early spring there as an average temperature for this time
of the year is 12°C.
The program consists of lectures or sessions around the topic of partnership, followed
by discussions. During free time we want to explore city of Barcelona and based on the interest
of our group we can arrange a sports afternoon. The provisional schedule is below. Our
meetings combine vacation time with guidance and sharing, and give us the chance to have a
good time as Blessed couples together with other friends. It is also a good opportunity for those
of us going through any kind of difficulties to take time and use it to look for a way. It may
happen that many of us have gone through similar experiences and can actually support each
other. Try to find some reasons why to come rather than why not to come. You will see it pays
off.

Thursday: 19:00- 21:00 Introduction to the meeting, Session 1
Friday: 9:00-12:00 Sessions 2+3, sightseeing in Barcelona or going to the beach (depending on the weather), 20:00 evening program
