IGNITE THE FIRE BETWEEN - A FOUR-PART COUPLES WORKSHOP SERIES

For couples who want MORE

More connection. More presence. More intimacy. More passion.

This is for you if….

• Your relationship has slipped into routine or autopilot
• Passion and intimacy have taken a back seat to work, family, and the demands of daily life
• Unspoken resentment or emotional “clutter” are getting in the way of truly seeing each other
• You feel stuck when expressing needs, boundaries, or desires
• You feel mismatched in libido or longing for more vibrancy in your intimate life
• You want to make your relationship a priority

WHAT THIS SERIES OFFERS

Across four evening workshops, you and your partner will explore new ways of relating to each other with curiosity, intention and care.

Using a blend of:

• movement
• dialogue
• touch-based practices, fully clothed
• reflective and embodied exploration

We invite you to slow down, tune in, challenge limiting patterns and discover what becomes possible when you relate with more awareness, presence and honesty.

Each workshop is 3 hours and centres on a specific theme that builds on the last.

You will learn how to move beyond avoidance, blame, or shutdown and into conversations that build closeness.

Themes:

• Expressing needs, desires, and boundaries with clarity and confidence
• Moving beyond blame, silence or people-pleasing
• Clearing emotional clutter and resentment
• Creating shared agreements that support growth, pleasure and mutual respect

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Exercises are done only with your partner
• Some group reflection and discussion
• A small, intimate group — maximum of 3 couples

WHY GROUP EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IS EFFECTIVE

Couples learn best when they can experience new ways of relating together. Talking about connection is very different from feeling, practicing and reflecting on it in a safe, guided space. Experiential exploration allows partners to move beyond old scripts and turn concepts like safety, trust, boundaries and pleasure into lived, embodied experiences and through this, we believe, real transformation is more likely to happen. We believe also that there can be valuable learning from hearing and witnessing other couples in their experience.
