To keep a partnership feeling consistently fresh, exciting, and connected is no easy task.

If you’re anything like me, time and again you’ve slipped into complacency with your partner. Just coasting on the momentum of past peak experiences. Being okay going weeks - or months - without that feeling of heart-opening, physical aliveness that makes partnership one of the most special parts of life.

That's what's tricky about partnership - it's easy to coast. You and your partner are so comfortable with each other, it's easy to melt into the screen together after a long day. And it's a legitimately challenging task to find new spaces in your connection that wake up your sex, touch new emotions, and bring about mutual discovery.

But deep down, you and I both know that the purpose of being alive isn’t to coast. It’s not to stay in the comfort zone (though there is a time for that). You’re here to dive into your commitments with the zest that comes from recognizing how lucky you are to be alive! You’re here to make your partnership consistently magical, electrifying, and as deeply connected as possible.

But to feel explorative, deeply open, and inspired in your intimacy with your partner requires energy, attention, and commitment.

Painters only create masterpieces because they keep painting, keep learning new tools, and keep finding inspiration from other artists.

The art of partnership is no different.

That’s why I’m creating this workshop Spark.

I want to give you and your partner new tools, new inspiration, and a committed space to find novel pockets of connection and deeper layers of closeness. I want to help you spark your intimacy and explore together.

In this workshop you can expect to:

• Gain new perspective on where you are in the journey of your relationship 
• Experience new types of intimacy with your partner and find new intimate spaces to further explore together
• Feel connected to other individuals and other couples
• Feel notably closer to your partner and excited at your intimate connection

Activities will include:

• Witness and share in candid reflection prompts about your relationship
• Embark on a guided intimacy exploration with your partner (private from other participants) where you’ll
  • Practice tantric heart connection
  • Verbally appreciate each other in new ways,
  • Explore energetic dynamics and archetypes through guided eye contact
  • Bring a whole new level of creativity to the art of making-out
  • Cherish each others’ bodies through the Flight of 1,000 Kisses
• Have an (optional) opportunity to be lovingly witnessed in an intimate moment with your partner
