COUPLES(+)
Our Vision:
We are building an intentional, relational community based on principles of vulnerability & wisdom sharing.
Together, we can foster a journey of coming back home to ourselves supported by the authentic connections we form.
Our participants come from all walks of life--some are coupled and are looking to reignite the flames of their relationship. Some participants are uncoupled, looking to shed the traumas of dysfunctional relationships. Some of us are in a lovely, complicated middle. All are welcome, all are celebrated.
Let's Connect.

Podcast & more
What started as a retreat grew into a podcast…
We are a group of curious individuals looking to have an open conversation amongst ourselves and our guests regarding everything intimacy, sex, kinks and fetishes, as well as relationships - both traditional and nontraditional. We understand that this eroticism inside us can actually assist us in healing, self acceptance, and personal growth!
Our guests come from all walks of life and all have something that we can learn from. Whether through their experiences, their lifestyle, or their profession.
The main goal is to normalize these conversations and encourage our listeners to “come home to yourself”.
