Play your way into an unforgettable Valentine’s Day!
You’ll leave feeling invigorated and more attuned to each other than ever.
Yes, relationships take a lot of work, but they also require a lot of play. This fun half-day mini retreat is your chance to reconnect and have a blast with your sweetheart while you get a glimpse of the bigger themes at work in your partnership.
We’ll tie an exploration of the complicated issues that couples often struggle with into playful physicality. We will use improvisational contact dance and lifts (and more) in a way that will not only make more sense, but will also help you retain your new insight on a deeper, cellular level.
Best of all, the fun won’t end there. We’ll send you home in that experimental, exploring mood. (The focus is on intimacy and connection, you just might want to book a sitter for the whole day!)
When: Sunday, February 14th from noon – 3:00 PM

FAQ
Why would we want to try improv contact dance & lifts?
You’ll feel challenged to express trust and put yourself out there for your partner to support you. You and your partner will develop new skills to explore and re-sculpt the obstacles that get in the way of your relationship everyday, with deeper awareness and understanding.
How will this help us create more togetherness in our relationship?
As we physically play with themes -like rules, invitations and responses, facing your fears, trust, practice, rituals and rites of passage- you’ll simultaneously make sense out of your private ah-ha moments.
What if my partner can’t lift me?
All levels of fitness and all body types are welcome. All of the activities we are planning can be modified.
Do we need to purchase two tickets?
Nope, just one! Each Ticket represents 1 couple (2 persons) and includes light refreshments. Space is limited.
You have an early sale price, what do we have to do to take advantage of that?
Simple. Just register prior to February 1st and you’ll grab an Early Bird Discount!
What about refunds?
Tickets are non-refundable, but may be transferred to another couple.
