Turn Your Relationship into a Paradise of Healing and Love
What if every time you were about to meet your Beloved, your heart fluttered with the same joy and anticipation as if it was your first date?
What if your relationship became a path to your deepest healing and spiritual awakening as an act of service to your families, communities and all humanity?
What if moments of conflict didn't scare you anymore but actually excited you because you knew the way to alchemize emotional pain into an even deeper intimacy with one another?
With the right guidance, the right perspective, the right practices, and your honest willingness to show up for the healing of one another's heart, these understandings are not only possible, they are inevitable.
Is your relationship missing that original spark of love or are you longing to go deeper?
In our times, we no longer need one another for survival in relationship.
This fact calls us to connect with a much deeper meaning and purpose of being together. Relationship is a very special experience of life in that it offers us the opportunity to understand ourselves on a profoundly deep level and to support one another in healing the deepest core wounds of our Heart.
If you find yourself stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict, mediocrity from daily routine or yearning for that spark, passion and fire that once came naturally, you're not alone and you're in the right place.
COURSE STRUCTURE AND
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
The course will take place over 12 weeks with 12 essential topics that will shine light on the path of how to both heal and awaken through the art of relationship.
The deeper you lean into the practices and course material, the deeper your transformation will be. Keep in mind, this course is an intensive, it is designed to support a fundamental transformational process in yourself and in the relationship.
Below is the general time commitments and all that will be included in the course:
STRUCTURE & LIVE EXPERIENCE
-
There will be 12 2hr live group calls (once per week for 12 weeks) on zoom with the exceptions of the first and last call which will be 2.5hrs. There will also be 3 1.5hr men's and women's group calls. Each call will include the introduction of a topic followed by an embodied partner or group practice to fully experience the teaching. This will then be followed by a group coaching and Q&A session with Valentina and Ian
-
On several weeks a 20 minute lecture video will be given to deepen your knowledge of the topic. Videos will also include a questions which you will answer and post in the community chat to help you self reflect and integrate the teachings. You will also receive feedback and support from Ian and Valentina.
PRACTICE & INTEGRATION
-
Every two weeks you will have a new support couple who you will have a 30 minute call with at least once within the three weeks to check in about what's arising with the course material, supporting each other in whatever way arises and generally establishing connection and friendships with other couples in this sacred work
-
By call number eight we will start the process of initiating you in how to do a proper Tantric ritual at home once you've been through the weeks of inner work and preparation. This will include detailed guided videos on four specific rituals, how to set them up, how to perform them and all the elements and instructions on how to create an altar and sacred space for ritual. From that time on you will have 1 ritual per week to perform at home
SUPPORT
-
There will be a community Whatsapp group chat in which all have the space to share about their processes, post your weekly Heartwork questions, ask questions and get live feedback from Ian and Valentina about any of the work.

Because the course is 80% embodied practice it is important that your space is set up for practice on every call. This means being seated on the floor with proper cushions and comfortability with plenty of space around you to move.
You should be clearly visible with proper lighting so that we can see both of you from the chest up and also be able to hear you clearly.
Please also make sure you have a 15 minute flexibility window for the end of the calls in case the call runs a little longer or in case you and your partner need a moment to integrate before going into your next activity.
