About this Event

Presented by Calgary Intimacy Arts


Do you remember when being together felt easy?


When conversation flowed, when touch felt natural, when you actually felt seen by each other?


If that feels far away right now, you're not alone. Most couples don't drift apart because they stopped loving each other. They drift because life got busy and nobody taught them how to find their way back together.


Closer is a one-day experience designed to change that.


In one intentional day in the northwest of Calgary, you'll step out of your routine and into something different. No overnight stay. No weekend away. Just six hours together, with skilled facilitation, a small group of like-minded couples, and practices that actually work.



What to expect:


You'll learn how your nervous systems have been running your relationship, and how to work with that instead of against it. You'll have the conversations that usually get avoided, with support that makes them feel possible. You'll experience guided partner practices that bring you back into your bodies and back to each other, and you'll leave with real tools, not just good intentions.


This isn't therapy. It's not a workshop where you sit in rows and take notes. It's an embodied, experiential day that meets you where you are and moves you somewhere new.



What's included:


  • Full day of facilitated programming (10am-4pm)
  • Guided somatic and partner practices
  • Structured conversation exercises
  • Lunch
  • Take-home practices to continue the work
  • Space is limited to 6 couples. This is intentional. Small groups create the safety that makes real work possible.


$497 per couple - Resiter via eventbrite or email transfer
