UNION

What does it take to have a conscious relationship in this day and age? This is one of the questions that we'll be exploring and practicing in our upcoming weekend union.

This is a couple's class dedicated to exploring sovereignty within each individual as well as the togetherness of our unions. How can we take intentional ritual and conscious tantric practices to deepen our relationships, explore pleasure and intimacy and have more fun?

In this class we'll be exploring how to create containers around your emotional process, the processes that naturally come up in a deep sacred union, conflict resolution skills, and intimacy practices to deepen your relationship.

Join us upstate at our retreat center, The Sanctuary of the Sacred Dream, to relax in nature, to explore tantric union with your partner and to go deeper in love.

During our weekend together we will be in practice, exploring sacred union, intimacy practices, and conflict resolution in community. We will also be focusing on the relational field and improving relationships, addressing obstacles, learning resolution methods, and ways to move forward.

"If you’re reading this, then something has initially called you to the work of Lauren and Russell. And from my own experience, you will not be disappointed. Any level of practice can and should be regarded sacred in this work, whether as a couple or individual. The truly natural, loving and authentic relationship that Lauren and Russell share allows for safety, nurturing and care that cannot be understated. It not only allows you to immediately drop in, but the beautiful balance between divine feminine and masculine truly services one another to innately bring to the surface the specifics of what you are personally facing. You will not regret being a part of their loving practice."
