Marriage Relationship – What’s It All About Presenter: Ean James (Clinical Psychologist) The honeymoon came and went. So we finally discovered that incompatibility is the essence of committed relationship; not a threat but opportunity. Beyond the ecstasy, to intimacy and real connection. Shakti Gawain called it “the most powerful spiritual journey in the universe”.

Ean James has been a regular speaker at the Inigo Centre for many years. His talks are always well attended and his audience enthusiastic. This is because he is thorough, rapports extremely well with his audience and his content is relevant to modern living needs.
