“We loved our workshop—the other couples helped us to clarify our dilemmas and we no longer felt alone. Susan was organized, presented important and relevant topics, helped keep us focused and was very caring, non-judgmental, warm and had no hidden agendas. She created a safe place for us to tackle these challenging issues.”
“We liked the experience of our workshop. We learned a lot about communication and negotiation. It helped our relationship evolve and we got engaged soon after the workshop ended. It is a shame these workshops are not offered to same religion couples.”
“What I enjoyed most about our contact with Susan Needles is that an array of solutions were made available—a wide range from doing two faiths, choosing one predominant faith, etc. She was kind and neutral and never judged us.”
“We found the experience of working with Susan Needles very interesting and useful. She was so kind and knowledgeable. We were fascinated to discover how many issues in our lives were influenced by our ethnicities and religions—from food to attitudes towards money and family.”
“What we found really powerful about our interfaith explorations with Susan Needles, is that though we come from different faiths and ethnic backgrounds, we are alike in key essential areas of our lives and share many values. Values clarification really made us say, ‘wow’ when we recognized our extensive similarities.”
“For many topics discussed, we were provided with a wealth of pertinent written materials and other guidelines to keep us on focus.”
“Hearing how other couples felt and worked out their problems was enlightening and it allowed us to feel we were not alone. That fact was such a relief.”
