Half-day Retreat: Deeper Relationships, Conflict Repair & Sauna!

It is hard to be honest with others sometimes in this fast paced world. Ditch the city noise on Sunday and join us for two back to back relationship workshops with long tenured intimacy and relationship therapists. Our half-day retreat is a nature-immersive experience designed to help you land in your body, connect with good humans, and practice the kind of presence that makes relationships feel clearer, safer, and more alive. Think of it as an Intimacy GPS: a guided way to notice where you are, what is happening in your body, and how to find your way back into connection when things get tender or charged. You'll leave with: A deeper sense of what your emotions are trying to tell you Practical experience with honest expression and resonant listening A clearer map of your own conflict patterns A felt sense of being witnessed without needing to perform More self-compassion in the moments where relationships get tender A full nervous system reset: lunch, circle, silent hike, sauna + cold plunge at sunset New friends (in human + goat form) 12 Seats Available Tickets: $180 · early bird $150 with code EARLYHD Before September 26th!

Come as you are, land slowly, and give yourself a minute to arrive before we dive in. Omar will host the opening arrival and help warm up the room so the group can begin from a place of ease, curiosity, and realness. 2:30–5:30 pm — Two Relationship Workshops We’ll move through two experiential sessions of roughly 80 minutes each, with a short snack/restroom/journaling break in between. The sessions are designed to build on each other: first deepening our capacity to listen and track what is happening inside, then bringing that awareness into the places where intimacy and conflict get more charged. Session 1 — Relational Attunement + Transparent Communication with Michael Bring over 40 years of experience in therapy and healing, Michael Gelbart will guide a 90-minute a relational attunement session inspired by Thomas Hübl’s transparent communication framework: noticing what is moving inside you, expressing it with care, and listening in a way that helps others feel heard, seen & met. We’ll slow down and tune in — to our own internal experience and to what’s happening in our relational space. We'll then set a grounded container for sharing. In small groups of three, each person will have uninterrupted time to share, be witnessed, and deeply listened to, with moments of silence to let the experience settle. We’ll return to the larger group to harvest what we’ve noticed, learned, and felt — deepening our capacity for presence, emotional intelligence, and authentic connection. The goal is not to perform or effort. The goal is to feel more connected to yourself, more available to others, and a little braver in moments that matter. Session 2 — Conflict Patterns + Repair Practice with Ryan Ryan Ginn brings 15 years of couple's therapy and group facilitation. He will guide a practical conflict session rooted in relationship therapy: mapping your own conflict patterns, practicing repair in real time, and witnessing what becomes possible when conflict is held with more presence and play. We’ll explore how conflict actually lives in the body and nervous system: the patterns we repeat, the protections we reach for, and the deeper needs underneath. You’ll work in dyads to map your own conflict structures, then return to the group for reflection and facilitated practice. The session may include live role-play and 1–2 guided re-patterning demos, where a volunteer explores a real conflict scenario while the group witnesses what changes when conflict is met with more attunement, curiosity, and care. We’ll keep the tone grounded, playful, and spacious enough for the work to feel alive without becoming overwhelming. 5.30-6 pm Silent Hike + Farm/Harbor Tour Then we move, wander, and unplug: a silent hike through the farm and harbor, with time to integrate the circle before heading toward the water and sunset. 6.15-7.45 pm Sauna + Cold Plunge We'll close the day sweating it out in the sauna and — for the daring ones — taking a cold plunge at sunset. Simple, grounding, and a very good way to leave lighter than when you arrived. What to bring Swimsuit + towel for the sauna/cold plunge Comfortable clothes for sitting, moving, and hiking Water bottle + layers for the pier A journal, if that's your thing An open mind and whatever version of yourself is actually here Good to know The hike is easy-moderate and the cold plunge is always optional.
