This program is for mothers marrying off children who are invested in the successful transition of the couple into their marriage and beyond. It is also essential for young married women who want to maintain an open and harmonious relationship with their parents and in-laws, while nurturing their own healthy marriage relationship.
Each week there will be a recorded class, and a live Question & Answer session via Zoom webinar and teleconference. Classes will be posted each week on Wednesday mornings, and Q&A sessions will take place the following Monday morning at 10:30 AM EST (via Zoom webinar and teleconference). There are 10 classes and 10 Q&A sessions, beginning on Wednesday, October 25th and completing in January.
Yes! Each Wednesday morning there will be a live Q&A session. Dina will begin the session by answering questions that were left on her message center. She will then open the line to interact with participants who indicate that they wish to ask a question. Classes and Q&A sessions each run approximately 1 hour.
Dina will have a message center open throughout the program so that you can leave her your questions. If you are not able to get on live on Monday mornings, or if you prefer to ask a question anonymously, you can leave your message on Dina’s message center to be answered during the Q&A session.
Please note that due to the group nature of this program, it may not be possible for Dina to answer every question that was asked.
Are the classes and QA sessions recorded? And will recordings be available once the program is over?

Once the program completes, recordings of all classes and Q&A sessions will be available for sale for a fee of $50 (as a digital download).

I learned what was realistic to expect with a daughter-in-law and what I can do to allow a loving relationship to naturally emerge. My daughter-in-law, who had not previously opened up to me, began confiding in me once I learnt the tools on Generations in Harmony!
P.K., Montreal
I didn’t realize that my unrealistic expectations were causing so much resentment in the relationship between me and my in laws. This program was a real eye opener for me and it totally changed the way I relate to them. Our relationship is so much more respectful and loving now that I understand their perspective!

I’m married for a few years, and Generations in Harmony has been so enlightening and validating for me. It put words to all the changes that I went thru when getting married, and helped me understand what was so overwhelming about the experience.

The most empowering aspect of this program was being able to put down the emotional burden of responsibility and guilt that I held for my married kids.
A.S., Monroe, NY
My son kept dropping comments that we should include him on an upcoming family trip. I knew that wouldn’t work for us. Before Generations in Harmony, telling him this would have caused deep hurt and anger. Instead, the conversation went smoothly and didn’t harm our relationship because I learned how to communicate effectively and I was not afraid to be open and honest.
D.B., Detroit, MI
My desire to spoil my couple and welcome them into the family caused a sense of entitlement and I didn’t know how to break the cycle. The Generations in Harmony program taught me how to be true to myself without hurting our relationship. Now I know how to speak to them in an authentic and loving way and the relationship dynamics is so much simpler!
Y.W., Monsey, NY
Due to a complicated set of circumstances, I had to navigate a difficult situation with my newly married couple that strained our family bonds. The biggest gift I got from Generations in Harmony was recognizing what I can control and what I cannot, and how to bring myself to a place of peace even in circumstances that were beyond my control.
L.F., England
In the past, I worried about my married kids all the time. I wondered how they were doing, and I couldn’t let go emotionally or energetically. With the pre-marriage talks Dina taught us to have with our kids, I was able to set my child up before his wedding in every way. He got married a few weeks ago, and this time I was totally at peace. Generations in Harmony is a game changer!
