“We have been together in a committed relationship for just under 30 years. During this time we have fought like hell, hurt each other, fallen in love with each other many times, come very close to breaking up, and ended up in a relationship with each other that we never dreamed possible.

The path of relationship is not an easy one. Yet we have come to understand that our marriage is a profound spiritual practice for us. Our commitment is to truth and to develop and grow as much as we possibly can in the time we have together. We have found that the more we are able to communicate what is real and hear what is true, and the more we learn to see and sense each other, the more the space between us opens up and the more love there is.

We have been so nourished and freed by this practice and so supported by it in all areas of our lives that we feel compelled to share our discoveries and offer a deeper journey than we ever have before for couples wanting to go deeper in their relationship with each other.”

— Susannah and Ya’Acov

In this workshop, you and your partner will:

work in a safe environment with other committed couples
discover creative ways of working with conflict
learn to use a variety of practices, such as movement, writing, dyads, shamanic journeying and ritual to refine ways of being together
work in the privacy of your own room to connect to your instinctual nature and explore a new landscape of intimacy.

The course also includes a one-hour Skype session between the two modules with Susannah and Ya’Acov.

Nurturing love and intimacy in a relationship means being willing to allow vulnerability and passion. It means inviting tenderness and being present to the raw edges of the heart. It means finding the courage to travel together into the unknown. During this workshop, we will work with Movement Medicine to explore a new vision of relationship, to expand love, and to deepen the space between you.

Please note, German translation will be provided during the workshop modules. Couples will need to provide their own translation for the Skype session if required.

PREREQUISITES: No previous experience of Movement Medicine is required.
