Over dit evenement
Think you know everything about your dearest partner or bestie? Prepare to be delightfully surprised! ✨
Step into a cosy, welcoming space designed to deepen the curiosity, empathy & play within your unique connection. Whether you’re romantic partners, brand-new dates, or close friends, this evening offers a rare pause to slow down, drop in, and explore new layers of your relationship. 🫂
Through the guided practices of Authentic Relating (radical honesty & active listening) and Conscious Touch (co-regulation through intentional giving & receiving), you'll gain practical tools to navigate tricky conversations with grace, tune into each other's needs, and bring more warmth and vitality to your bond. Equal parts rich, playful, and grounding, this is so much more than a typical night out. 🥂
Who it’s for:
Open to all duos — couples, lovers, and friends across all genders and relationship orientations. Bring someone you truly want to deepen with and share a heart-warming evening together! ❤️

"This workshop was a game changer for me. I'm blown away on a daily basis as to how easy communicating and relating has been since doing Laurie's incredible workshop" — Andy ⭐
“I love Laurie’s energy, wisdom, execution and light touch” — Tess ⭐
“The exercises allowed me to center myself in heartspace - free to be held by others in love and in my own experience while also able to hold them in their experience. As such, it’s a perfect space for co-regulating. The experience was so nurturing I forgot to eat dinner - and I wasn’t even hungry!” — Justin ⭐
"I live with complex PTSD and anxiety so in the past I have really struggled to open up to people and build meaningful connections. Discovering these workshops has been a life changer and both my therapist and I are thrilled with how my confidence has blossomed in recent months. Laurie's time and generosity really means the world to me" — Sarah ⭐
"Laurie led us through a series of games and exercises that allowed us to open up and create very real bonds with others and with our own selves. Many emotions were felt in the safest, most welcoming environment" — Jason ⭐
