Doing something empowering and exhilarating like skydiving reminds us how much courage, openness, and trust goes into a relationship. We have so much to learn from bringing together these two unique life experiences. Read on to learn more and don’t miss this workshop!
While this event is for all kinds of couples, it’s particularly great for the newly engaged who are curious about premarital counseling. Taking a big, bold and scary leap from a plane together is the perfect backdrop for learning more about what it means to take the big leap of marriage!
Some people enter the sport of skydiving foolishly. They’re careless, they don’t honor the life or death reality of what they’re doing…in short, they don’t take it seriously. Not only is this a problem for them, but they also puts other skydivers at risk.
Some people enter marriage foolishly. Sure, they might put tons of time into planning their wedding, but they don’t plan and prepare for the lifelong commitment they are making. Romantic love and “real love” are different and most of us aren’t aware of whether we have the “real love” it takes to make a marriage successful. This contributes to our 50% divorce rate and leaves us hurting and unhappy, putting families and children at risk.
While the Fall in Love Workshop is not a comprehensive premarital seminar, it will arm you with lots of juicy information and real life examples of how to do love and marriage well so that you can start on the right path of a healthy and lasting relationship.
Tandem means you and your partner will each make your skydive harnessed to a professional skydive instructor. You will be on the same plane, along with your Relationship Coach, Dr. Jami. You will land from your skydive within seconds of each other & experience the exhilaration together!
We will be in touch the day before your scheduled jumps to discuss the weather. Wind as well as clouds and rain may result in your skydive being weathered out. If it looks certain that will happen, we’ll reschedule for another day. If it’s a “maybe,” we’ll meet at the dropzone, have our classroom time, and you can reschedule your skydive at your convenience if it indeed gets weathered out. There are no refunds for Skydives purchased, but your voucher can be used at any time.
Of course, it’s up to you! It’s a thrill to witness and support your partner make a skydive and many lessons can abound from watching the person you love to take such a huge leap! The classroom instruction and Dr. Jami’s fees will be the same either way. Skydives are priced and booked separately. Feel free to bring friends—great friends and a support network are also an element of a healthy relationship! They can either choose to participate in the lesson (see package options) or hang out while you receive your private, 90-minute lesson with Dr. Jami.
We will meet at the dropzone at approximately 9am. You will sign in at the office for your skydives, fill out waivers, and meet with Jami for classroom time (approx 1.5 hours). You’ll dive will be scheduled for approximately 12pm that day. We’ll meet again to debrief your jump (approx 30m) and send you on your way by early afternoon. But set aside the full day, as weather can sometimes delay a jump.
When you book your skydive, the Skydance staff will let you know what to wear, what to bring, etc. For your time with Dr. Jami, just bring your open minds and curiosity. Please bring a cooler with plenty of food for a picnic lunch, as there are limited options near the dropzone.
You’ll receive the standard instructions and training provided by the team at SkyDance SkyDiving. Dr. Jami’s classroom time is focused specifically on couples counseling, and does not cover the information you’ll be learning about the jump itself (safety, risks, best practices, and all other critical information) prior to your jump with the team at SkyDance.
Skydance Skydiving is the official service provider for the skydiving element of this workshop. All paperwork, legal, and liability for the jump itself are purchased and secured through Skydance Skydiving, LLC. You will also pay and schedule with them directly, coordinating the day and time along with Jami.
