An Aim Towards Relational Experience

Many courses teach to the neck up, leaving you with insights and frameworks to apply. They say ‘Knowledge is Power’ but it actually isn’t power until it’s applied. We want to support you to explore + experience embodying the key new skillsets, new interactions, and new ways of being. Every day will be pivotally oriented around the experientials: explorations, practices, and inquiries into the body, emotions, and relational interactions within the couple and in the group.

A Group Experiential: Intimate Foundations to Permanently Move from Surviving to Thriving

Singles and Couples are welcome regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or religion. We will meet with couples and individuals for an initial 30-min intake call to meet and explore more and see if these retreats are a good fit.

If you are already a client, then we won’t need to do the intake call,

  • Issues may range from a good relationship looking to become even richer and more vital or a relationship stuck in negative cycles.

  • Due to the nature of this retreat, we are not working with couples in crisis (and we can help you define this.)

Facing the waves of life, the relationship is one of our deepest learning grounds. It is a sacred reflection of where we are. It is a catalyst for self-awareness.

In these experiential retreats, we will create a safe, confidential container to support you as a couple and as individuals. We will begin with foundational somatic practices paired with Kessler’s 5 personality patterns.

In a loving container, we will facilitate you to get to know yourself and your partner in your deepest relational wounds and gifts, and de-shame the patterns that we all face. With ample guidance and support,

You will practice and embody the ability to navigate deep triggers, and open compassionate resources within.

The result will be that you’re more open + responsive, accessible and vulnerable. You will also receive key practices to take home and explore with.

Our approach is informed by cumulative years of experience offering therapy and draws on an array of approaches:

  • Hakomi Therapy, Kessler's Survival Strategies, A.H Almaas + The Diamond Approach, The Gottmans + Terrence Real’s work, Attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, and Gestalt Therapy.

As the time unfolds both in and in between retreats, transformation is deepened with the loving support of your peers and the energetic container. You will gain clarity and work with your dances of connection and disconnection, and realise your resources as a couple or as individuals, strengthen your communication skills, and heal any relationship hurts.

Through experientials, group sharings, and voluntary demo sessions, our intimate cohort will transform together.

By the end of the our time together, you will have a completely re-orchestrated understanding (of self and other and how to respond in conflict. You’ll have a well practiced skillset that lays the foundation for a higher level of flow, connection, wisdom, and ease amidst the challenges of life.

It’s the foundations of emotionally-adept skills of relating, one that our society has yet to avail us of.

We see this course as opening new doors of what’s possible for each couple and person who attends.

We’re excited and committed to make these steps together with you all and after a month, find each couple with new rewarding foundations.

What makes this highly experiential immersive unique?

  • The Power of Depth Psychology Maps | A Life-alterring Shift in Self-Awareness

    By identifying our stances (core patterns) and dances (of disconnection + connection) with the support of Kessler’s map’s of developmental survival strategies, we will support you in so many different ways. This shared insight ultimately leads to new ways of communicating during the most difficult experiences and emotions, and a deep hand-in-glove knowing of eachother’s inner terrain during daily life.

    These choldhood patterns + defenses form the deep subconscious of the body, sense of connection, sexuality, and emotional life - which are all connected.

    As light is cast in the shadow, patterns begin to heal and we will explore new ways of connecting, unlocking experiences which deep parts of you have longed for.

    These core insights are a gift you can’t unsee.

  • Becoming More Open + Responsive | Deepening into Accessibility + Vulnerability

    We will consistently practice new ways of being together, communicating, and listening. This isn’t just listening to listen. It’s using the lenses of understanding our partner’s core experience (their patterns formed in childhood). It’s a deeper way of listening and its very intimate and connective. In this way, couples can slow down, learn to identify and have space to really learn what’s deep down: emotions + sensations + memories real-time. There is a curiosity and openness. This is a disarming peace offering and awareness during conflicts and a sense of knowing eachother’s deepest terrain, trust and intimacy available in daily life.

    Our many embodied practices will increase accessibility, vulnerability, openness, de-shaming, decreasing reactivity, and increasing intimate emotional responsiveness.

    We will also practice with communicating specific needs of your own and your partner’s core pattern, and learn how to truly honour those needs in relationship to the highest truths of wholeness and Love. You will have an opportunity to practice working together in creating supportive impromptu containers for intimate sharing and healing.

The Energetic Support of the Group Relational Field

We set intentions as a group and harmonize in the first session, this is the beginning of a confidential holding field of deep energetic support, a felt presence. It supports energetic catalyst and transformation, hive intelligence, and a pulsating field carrying nourishment, resilience, and gifts.

As guides, we will cultivate this, work with it in different ways, and it’s a part of the power and gift of being together.

Self-esteem and Relationship-esteem: Tracking Growth Journeys in Self and Relationship

We can enhance the well-deserved esteem and confidence of ourselves and the couple as a whole. In this, we practice to track the phases, steps, challenges, successes, and stages of the relationship. It’s tracking and telling your story accurately and wisely.

Our intentions and commitment to growth will bolster + honor the fortitude it takes as a couples and as humans to grow together.

In this course, you will access deep life-changing awarenesses, track the mini-changes, acknowledge and celebrate the actual shifts, watering the greater journey you’re on together.

The Symbolic Power of Psychomagic + Ritual

The unconscious and mammalian part of the brain understands very deeply, prayer, incantation, and ritual.

Just as the unconscious accepts placebos, it accepts metaphorical acts.

 In fact, it takes a symbolic act as a fact. This adds to the depth of each couple’s transformation by working with the deep symbolic language of life and objects that relate deeply to your soul and shared soul.

Retreat Schedule + Details

Details within the days may evolve marginally from what’s listed.

  • After the intake call, we’ll set up a 1hr preliminary singles or couples session. In this session, we will have the opportunity to drop in together, prior to the retreat to establish rapport and to have the opportunity to open up to what it is like to journey in the relational space with us. We will have the opportunity to explore a bit deeper some of what you may be wanting to work on, heal, and practice deeper.

    We’ll review aspects of the intake form (filled out prior to the call), and work with somatic explorative practices to become accustomed to self inquiry and shared inquiry. We will also develop an understanding of core patterns in the framework of 5 survival strategies in our personalities.

    During this session we will work together in defining and clarifying any dynamics that want to be supported and goals for the month-long.
