Venue: Co-Lab
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Join us for an intimate EO Couples Experience focused on connection, communication, and gaining deeper insight into how you and your partner relate to one another in everyday life and beyond.

In this interactive evening session, Dori Luke, LCSW and founder of Self-Full Psychotherapy, PC, will guide couples through an engaging exploration of the Enneagram and how personality patterns shape communication, connection, and long-term partnership. With over 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, Dori brings a relational and trauma-informed approach designed to help couples better understand themselves and one another in a meaningful and practical way.

Ahead of the event, members will be invited to complete the Enneagram assessment so you can arrive ready to engage more fully in reflection, conversation, and shared discovery throughout the evening.

The experience will conclude with a shared dining component designed to keep the conversation going, with final details still being curated and potentially including a chef-led or interactive culinary experience.

This is an intentional opportunity to step out of routine, invest focused time in your relationship, and walk away with new insight, deeper connection, and meaningful tools you can continue to use long after the evening ends.

Stay Tuned, there is more to come!
