The quality of our intimate relationships often defines the quality of our lives. At the heart of these relationships lies our attachment system, which governs how we connect, love, and experience freedom.
If you’re unfamiliar with attachment theory, it offers an evidence-based approach to connection and love. By understanding our attachment patterns and desires, we gain the power to navigate intimacy with greater authenticity, balance, and joy.
This retreat is for anyone ready to explore the interplay between freedom and attachment in their relationships, uncover the base scripts that shape their patterns of connection, improve their ability to navigate the interplay of their body and mind, and take empowered steps toward a future of thriving love.

🌻 What We’ll Explore 🌻
Day 1: Foundations of Attachment and Connection
~ Gain a deep understanding of attachment theory, including secure, anxious, and avoidant styles, and how they show up in relationships.
~ Explore the Freedom & Attachment Matrix, a model designed to help you navigate the balance between individuality and intimacy.
~ Reflect on your personal attachment journey, tracing patterns from childhood to your present relationships in a guided, insightful process.
~ Engage in group activities and somatic practices to experience the connection between your polyvagal system and your sense of safety and connection in love.
Day 2: Unearthing Patterns and Shaping Connection Today
~ Uncover the beliefs, and habits that have shaped your relational dynamics over time and that frame your relationships today.
~ Identify your current communication patterns and how they align with or hinder your relational goals.
~ Practice crucial skills like regulation through breathwork to stay centered during tough conversations.
~ Role-play scenarios with facilitators and fellow pariticipants to gain confidence in using transformative tools such as Nonviolent Communication (NVC), active listening, and boundary-setting techniques.
Day 3: Building a Future of Authentic Intimacy
~ Explore what you want to create in your relationships by clarifying your intentions and commitments for the future.
~ Practice authentic sharing, including how to make heartfelt requests and express love and appreciation meaningfully.
~ Develop practical strategies to maintain trust and navigate relational challenges with freedom, authenticity, and care.
~ Participate in reflective exercises and group sharing to integrate your learnings and leave with a clear path forward.
