"Winning the Relationship Game" is a three-hour workshop planned for 10 a.m. Saturday at the Center for Conscious Living, 6152 126th Ave., Largo. It is aimed toward individuals or couples in relationships of any kind. Tuition is $25 per person if reserved in advanced, $35 at the door.
The workshop will be led by Gregg Sanderson, whose book, What Ever Happened to "Happily Ever After," sold more than 10,000 copies and has been used as text in relationship classes by Metaphysical churches nationwide.
"Most people don't play the 'game' of relationships to win. They play to keep from losing," Sanderson said. "Our metaphor of the game works as well for families and business contacts as it does for romantic partners."
For reservations or information, e-mail ccl@consciousliving.org or call (727) 538-0900.
