Would you like to spend this Valentine’s Day with your partner in a cosy & fun way, while also having an opportunity to grow a stronger bond between you?
You're in the right place! ✌️
Join us for this playshop (as opposed to workshop) and explore how to deepen your relationship through authentic communication practices. This is NOT a class on managing conflict or negotiating boundaries. It is a playshop. You’ll get to have fun with each other and other couples, while bringing out the best in your relationship. ❤️
By the end of the evening, you’ll have ideas for relational practices that you can build into your day-to-day to keep your connection strong and fulfilling.
So, what to you say? 😉

✨ WHO IS THIS FOR? ✨
This event is designed for couples to come together and explore their relationship in a safe, held, and fun environment.
You will enjoy it if you:
❤️ Believe that for a relationship to thrive, there needs to be space for both people to evolve and change
❤️ Care about building a long-term, stable bond with your partner
❤️ Recognize that problem-solving is easier when you have built some good rapport in the first place
❤️ Want to play and have more fun with your partner on a regular basis
❤️ Can see the value of your relationship being witnessed and held by community.
We want to host 10 couples who are already invested in personal and/or spiritual growth, and want to deepen their journey together.

✨ WHAT ARE WE DOING, EXACTLY? ✨
During the evening, we will use a mix of practices designed to generate fun, connection, and intimacy. These are some of them:
🎲 Authentic Relating games (to read more about what Authentic Relating is, visit: )
🎲 Questions that have been scientifically proven to generate interpersonal closeness
🎲 Approach informed by consent practices
🎲 Facilitated conversations where you will be with your partner, but also with other couples - including a sharing circle in the beginning and at the end
🎲 A supportive environment held by two experienced relational facilitators.
BONUS: You'll receive a follow up with resources and ideas for how to practice deep communication day-to-day.
If you need more information to decide whether this event is right for you and your partner - get in touch at [email protected]. I'm happy to have a 10-minute phone call to answer your questions. ❤️
