Preview text

The fall cohort starts September 20. No pressure, just an open door and the details.

Dear {{first_name}},

I've been thinking about the people who reached out earlier this year and then, understandably, went quiet. Life after a separation does that. Some days you have the energy to take a step, and some days getting through the day is the step. Both are allowed.

So this is a gentle note, not a push. I want you to know the door is open for fall.

We are running the next in-person Rebuilding Seminar here in Niwot on Sunday evenings, September 20 through November 22, from 5 to 8. It is the same 10-week program built on Bruce Fisher's work that has been running in our community since 1993. Not therapy, not a dating environment. A small group of people, in a safe room, working through the same stuck places, together. The community itself is the medicine.

If it helps to plan ahead, there is an early-bird price of $1,099 through July 24, 2026. After that it is the regular $1,200. That is the only deadline I will ever put in front of you. I am not going to tell you seats are vanishing, because they are not, and that is not how I want you to make a decision this tender. The early-bird is simply there if signing up sooner makes it easier.

If we have not talked yet, or if we did once and you have been sitting with it, I would still love a few minutes with you. You can book a free 15-minute call with me here: https://info.rebuildingseminars.com/consult . No pitch, no pressure, just honest answers to whatever is making this feel hard. And if you would rather start quietly and privately, there is a free self-test that shows you where you are starting from: https://go.rebuildingseminars.com/boulder-fdas .

You don't have to feel a particular way to qualify for this work. You just have to show up, imperfectly enough, as you are right now.

The dates and the enrollment link live here whenever you are ready: https://rebuildingseminars.com/rebuilding-seminars-and-workshops .

Whatever you decide, I'm glad you are still here.

Rebuilding together, Bob

3. SOCIAL-PROOF BLOCK (drop into the email or text as needed)

This is the part I could never sell you myself, so here are a few graduates in their own words.

"Amazing program and community. I highly recommend the 10 week seminar, life changing journey. Bob Manthy and volunteers create welcoming, safe, encouraging, and fun environment. I made wonderful friends, became a better and more confident person and learned more than expected. I will be part of the RB family for the rest of my life." Olga

"Rebuilding Seminar was an amazing experience that helped me move past a traumatic divorce much more quickly than I would have without it. Through Rebuilding Seminars, I have made great friends and have connected to a supportive community that will stay with me for years to come. I highly recommend it!" Melanie

"ReBuilders gives you an opportunity to discover who you really are, so you can be compassionate and understand how you arrived at this very painful part of life. It gave me hope, support, and friends that truly understood where I was in the emotional aspects of my painful divorce." Michelle

Across 293 reviews, our rating is 4.96 stars, and the word graduates use more than any other is "recommend."

Optional fourth review (swap in for Olga, Melanie, or Michelle if you want a "ten weeks" angle):

"I almost don't recognize myself or my classmates (who are now lifelong friends) after ten short weeks! Rebuilding is hard, healing and absolutely transformative. Thank you to the 2 friends who recommended taking the seminar. You were right, working through feelings, emotions and patterns after a major life change like divorce is invaluable!" Christine
