Igniting Intimacy

The immersive workshop for couples to strengthen emotional intimacy


Immersive Workshop
Saturday, December 7th 10:00-2:00

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

“I sit here and wonder how you feel, particularly about us. We’re committed to one another, yet I feel disconnected.
Telling you how I truly feel scares me. Vulnerability is challenging, but I keep so much of myself inside it’s painful.
I don’t want to argue, feel ignored, rejected, and I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t know how to truly feel seen and understood by you. I don’t want to just get through the days together, I want us to intimately connect.”

-COMMITTED, BUT DISCONNECTED

THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY MODERN RELATIONSHIPS END:
LACK OF EMOTIONAL INTIMACY

INITMACY IGNITED

“Our connection feels reinvigorated with deeper intimacy. I understand myself better, and I understand your wants and needs. Vulnerability feels uncomfortable at times, but you make it easy by listening with intention. Emotional intimacy is not just a concept. We know how to do it.”

-THE CONNECTED COUPLE

The One Day Workshop Designed to Revitalize Connection for Couples

Modern Couples Face Unique Complexities.

You have your own sense of independence, interests, and ideas. You’re drawn to each other’s ambition, curiosity, and see potential in one another. Yet, sharing the deeper parts of yourself feels uncomfortable.

We don't know where to begin.

I'm afraid to say what I'm truly feeling. I don't want to hurt you, and don't want to feel misunderstood.

We’re good at being independent.

We don’t know how to talk to one another without an argument.

I feel responsible for your feelings.These are statements that I often hear from couples. The process of the Igniting Intimacy workshop will give you insights and actions to evolve your relationship.

You’ll go from wondering how you’re going to make your relationship better, to initiating intimate connection with ease and confidence.

MAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP MATTER

Delve into the emotional landscape of your relationship. Learn how to recognize, understand, and express your emotions with genuine vulnerability. This segment will guide you in navigating the complexities of your feelings and foster a deeper emotional bond with one another.

Integrate Intimacy

Learn practical techniques for maintaining emotional closeness, fostering vulnerability, and sustaining a passionate connection. This final segment will empower you to keep the spark alive and nurture a deep, loving bond.

Understand Patterns

Uncover the underlying patterns in your relationship that may be causing disconnection. By identifying and understanding these patterns, you can begin to see how your past experiences and behaviors influence your present interactions. Awareness is the first step towards breaking free from negative cycles and building a stronger connection.

Curious Communication

Transform the way you communicate with your partner by adopting a stance of curiosity and openness. This part of the workshop focuses on developing effective communication skills that encourage empathy, active listening, and genuine understanding.

FAQs

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for couples who are committed to each other, and want to ignite emotional intimacy. If you are struggling with high conflict, on the brink of separation, or talking about divorce, this workshop won’t be the best fit for you.

How will this help us?

This workshop will give you insights and tools to transform how you show up for one another. You’ll learn how to address fears around intimacy, show up presently, and effectively communicate with one another. Communication is often a symptom of the problem in relationships. You’ll go beyond scripts and learn how to think relationally to be present with one another.

How is this different from couples therapy?

Couples therapy focuses on individual issues and experiences to address unique problems couples face. This workshop is tailored to be a high level, interactive experience for couples to address unique issues independently. It can be a great resource for couples who are already in couples therapy, or want a masterclass on relationship skills.
