"Something is changing. Maybe you can feel it but can't quite name it."
If even one of those landed — keep reading. This workshop was built for exactly where you are.
I built this workshop because I lived through exactly what you might be feeling right now. I want to tell you why — and what I think this morning could mean for you.
From our last workshop
Participants from a recent Connect Deeper Workshop · Salt Lake City, UT
Maybe your kids are grown and the house is quieter than it's ever been. Maybe you and your spouse are rediscovering each other without the noise of raising a family — and it's more awkward than you expected. Maybe you can feel the distance growing with someone you love and you don't know how to close it.
Whatever shifted — you're here because you know your relationships deserve more than autopilot.
Learning these principles didn't just change how I connected with others. It changed who I became in every relationship I had.
What started as one woman's personal journey became a framework, then a workshop, now shared with people navigating every kind of relationship — personal, professional, and everything in between.
Past participants have used this framework to repair relationships they'd nearly given up on, show up as the parent or partner they always meant to be, and finally feel genuinely close to the people already in their lives.
You can feel the dynamic with your adult child shifting and you're not sure how to navigate it without making it worse
Your marriage is entering a new chapter and you want to make sure you actually know each other in it
You've been so focused on everyone else for so long that some of your friendships have quietly faded
Something feels off in your relationships but you can't quite put your finger on what it is
You're stepping into a new season of life and you want your relationships to reflect who you're becoming
You're ready to stop waiting for things to improve on their own and actually do something about it
You're not willing to look honestly at your own role in your relationships
You're hoping the other people in your life will change while you stay the same
You want theory without practice — this workshop asks you to do the work in the room
You don't need to be in crisis. You just need to want more than surface-level.
"Be ready to be open, present, and reflective. This experience stays with you." — Amy B.
"He came to support his wife — not to learn anything. By the end of the morning he was asking more questions than anyone in the room, implementing what he'd heard, and holding her accountable to her own content. The workshop got him when he wasn't looking for it."
"She didn't know she'd been isolating. It took a board game — not a lecture — to show her. In that moment of recognition, she saw exactly where connection had faded in her life and walked out with a clear picture of how to get it back."
"The Five Questions completely shifted how I think about connection. Simple — but incredibly powerful. Christine creates a space that is friendly, open, and completely judgment-free."
— Annie O."I walked away thinking differently about connection and how small, intentional changes can make a real impact. It helped me become more aware of how I connect with others — and what I can do to strengthen those relationships."
— Melanie"This workshop helped me see my relationships differently — and how I want to show up in them moving forward. It gave me time to pause and really think about my relationships in a deeper, more intentional way."
— Merilyn"The 'What instead of Why' concept was a game changer for me. The workshop was light, engaging, and still incredibly impactful."
— Amy B."If you want deeper connections with family, friends, and co-workers — this workshop is for you. Christine clearly knows her subject matter and uses real-life examples to make it relatable."
— Carlos J."This workshop helped me become more aware of how I show up in my relationships — and where I can do better. I left thinking differently about my relationships and the role I play in them."
— Jennifer"This gave me practical ways to strengthen my relationships that I can start using right away."
— Lisa"It felt natural to open up and engage, which made the experience even more impactful. It's a slow burner — in the best way."
— Sara & Pam"You don't need more people in your life. You need to go deeper with the ones already in it. This workshop shows you exactly how."
Every module is hands-on. You'll practice in the room, feel the difference, and leave with tools you can use the same day.
Not in a vague, theoretical way. You'll see your specific patterns and feel the relief of knowing exactly what to do differently.
The 5 Questions aren't homework. You'll practice them in the workshop and feel the difference immediately with someone you met that morning.
The 4 BE's give you an internal operating system that changes every conversation — not just what to say, but who to be when you say it.
One person. One action. One commitment made out loud before you leave. Most people make their first move before they get home.
“This workshop gave me a different perspective on connection and how I show up in my relationships — and it made me stop and think about how I approach them in a way I hadn’t before.”
— Jeremy"I never realized what was on my Belief Window until today."
Seeing it clearly for the first time changes everything that comes after."I've been filing 'different' as 'wrong' my whole life."
The Right/Wrong/Different reframe lands differently for almost everyone in the room."I've never felt that connected to someone I just met."
After practicing the 5 Questions, the energy in the room changes visibly."I already know who I'm calling on the way home."
The Connection Investment Plan makes it impossible to leave without a next step.Simple enough to use immediately. Powerful enough to change every relationship you have.
The doorway into someone's heart and hopes, in any relationship.
The energy that determines whether your questions open doors or close them.
How to create environments of genuine connection on purpose, every single day.
This isn't a lecture series. From the first minute you'll be experiencing, practicing, and discovering.
Why we're wired for this, and what it costs when we live without it. Includes the Connection/Isolation Board Game, the Running on Empty activity, and your first WITH Space experience.
WITH Spaces vs. AGAINST Spaces: how to recognize which one you're in, and how one moment of genuine curiosity can shift an entire relationship.
The most challenging and most freeing module. Covers the Belief Window, E+R=O, the Control Principle, and the Four Ripple Questions.
The heart of the framework. You'll practice all three together and feel the depth of connection that's possible in just a few minutes with someone you barely know.
Covers the Right/Wrong/Different reframe, Water the Flowers, and your personal investment plan. One person. One action. One commitment made out loud.

Christine Lavulo knows this season from the inside.
As a mom of five sons — navigating her own empty nest transition, her own marriage recalibration, and her own moments of wondering what comes next — she didn't build the Connect Deeper framework from a textbook. She built it from real life.
For years Christine poured herself into her family, her relationships, and figuring out who she was in the middle of all of it. The tools she teaches aren't theories. They're the same ones she has used — and continues to use — in her own most important relationships.
As a Certified Professional Success Coach, Certified Canfield Success Principles Trainer, Certified John Maxwell Leadership Speaker and Trainer, NLP Practitioner, and 3x #1 International Bestselling Author, Christine brings both the credentials and the lived experience to meet you exactly where you are.
She is Co-Founder and CEO of Connexions Lab and the author of Connect Deeper: 5 Questions to Build More Meaningful Relationships — the foundation of this workshop.
Known for her warmth, her humor, and her ability to make anyone feel immediately seen and understood, Christine doesn't just inspire the room. She equips it.
"You will learn a lot about yourself — and how to truly connect with others in a deeper, more meaningful way. I realized I still have so much to learn about connection — but in a way that felt encouraging, not overwhelming."
— Debbie H.Every seat includes your personal participant workbook, the Connection/Isolation Board Game experience, and your completed Connection Investment Plan.
Your participant workbook — included with every seat
Anyone who wants deeper, more intentional relationships — at home, at work, or both. Attendees must be 16 or older.
No. The Connect Deeper framework applies to every relationship in your life. Most participants come alone and apply the tools across multiple areas immediately.
Dress comfortably. This is a hands-on, experiential workshop.
Just yourself and a willingness to be present. Your participant workbook is included. Come ready to participate from the first minute.
You're in good company. Participation is guided, never forced. Some of the most powerful a-ha moments come from the quieter people in the room.
