Participant Report - The Love Retreat 2025: Powerful Connection and Breakthrough

Wow. Just wow.

It’s hard to put into words what unfolded at The Love Retreat 2025, but if there’s one thing I can say with absolute certainty, it’s this: the depth of transformation was beyond anything we imagined.

Over three days, we witnessed couples break through walls that had been standing for years, discover truths about themselves and each other, and walk away more connected, more aligned, and more in love than when they arrived.

A Safe Space for Growth

One of the most powerful elements of this retreat was how safe and supported everyone felt. Many came in carrying deep wounds, unspoken frustrations, or uncertainty about what to expect. But something incredible happens when you step into a setting where healing is not only possible – it’s inevitable.

Chris Paulson shared:

"This was the first time I even learned about masculine and feminine dynamics. I realized I had been using a feminine mask that was negatively affecting my spouse. Now, I not only understand my core energy, but I also have tools to embrace it."

This was a common theme—many participants had never been introduced to the power of masculine-feminine polarity and how deeply it affects relationships.

For Clara Stupariz, this shift brought a deep sense of relief:

"Learning that male and female energies are polar and natural—yet equal—created a new sense of ease and safety in our relationship. I now understand why certain dynamics were playing out the way they were, and that awareness alone was life changing."

This is the work. Not just learning new information, but embodying it in real-time, in a space where both partners are open to receiving it.

Breakthroughs That Change Relationships Forever

Each day, we went deeper. Participants explored their core wounds, identified their emotional patterns, and realized that their relationship struggles weren’t just about their partner—they were about their own internal narratives.

Jerry Bailey described his biggest takeaway:

"I had a deeper understanding of the core things creating tension in my relationship and, more importantly, I walked away with the tools to change them."

One of the most profound shifts came when participants recognized how their actions—often unconsciously—had been keeping their partner from fully stepping into their natural energy.

For John Stupariz, this hit home:

"I didn’t realize I was giving too much space to my wife, allowing her to step into the masculine role while I withdrew. Understanding this dynamic gave me a new sense of clarity, and I left the retreat ready to step into my core masculine energy with confidence."

The Power of Separation and Reconnection

One of the most impactful exercises was separating men and women for a full day of individual work before coming back together. This created a clean slate—a chance for each person to explore and embody their core energy before reuniting with their partner.

Tiffeny Paulson reflected:

"Had we not worked separately the entire day before, we wouldn’t have been able to work together on Day Three. That full day apart created a new blank slate for hope and new beginnings."

The results were immediate – couples returned to each other with fresh eyes, deeper respect, and reawakened attraction.

Real Change Takes Ongoing Commitment

One thing we emphasize is that this work doesn’t stop when the retreat ends. Relationship renewal requires ongoing practice – intentionally creating space to integrate what you’ve learned so it becomes your new way of being.

Chris Paulson summed it up perfectly:

"Yes, we anticipate long-term changes. We’re setting up time for us to communicate using the tools we learned, so we don’t lose momentum."

But, of course, life gets busy. The challenge for many couples is maintaining these principles in the middle of daily routines, stress, and old habits return through the back door.

Anonymous expressed it beautifully:

"We need ongoing support. I would love to come to a retreat like this at least once a year."

This is why community and continued coaching are so important. Whether it’s through follow-up sessions, private coaching, or returning to the retreat, staying aligned with this work ensures that your relationship keeps growing.

Is This for You?

If you’re reading this and wondering if The Love Retreat is for you, let me ask you:

• Do you ever feel like you and your partner are stuck in the same patterns, no matter how much you try to fix things?

• Have you ever wanted to understand your partner better – to finally see things from their perspective and feel truly seen in return?

• Do you crave more passion, more connection, and a deeper sense of partnership?

If any of this resonates, The Love Retreat is for you.

As one participant said:

"This retreat isn’t just about your relationship. It’s about understanding yourself at a level you never have before. It’s a win-win."

If you’re even thinking about it, trust the process.

Let’s keep this work alive. Join us for our next Love Retreat or schedule a call to explore ongoing coaching and support.

Because when you do this work, it doesn’t just change your relationship – it changes you.
