Why Hearts Take Flight?
When daily life clips your wings, connection turns into coordination: paying bills, sharing calendars, moving from task to task. Hearts Take Flight is a three-night immersion that slows time, empties stress from your nervous system, and lets you meet each other soul to soul - without the noise.
Three Movements, One Transformation
Tune-In to Self
Drop the outside noise, meet your own heartbeat, and remember who’s inside the mirror.
Attune to Partner
From that inner stillness, step into wordless connection: moving, breathing, and sensing as two nervous systems sync.
Vision & Vow
Carry the spark to the fire. With open hearts, weave a promise only the two of you can write.
This retreat isn’t just about being together;
it’s about learning to truly see each other again.
To listen. To hold. To fly.
Hearts Take Flight is an invitation to soften, to reconnect, and to rediscover the sacred space where love meets truth. It's a journey back to the heart - yours, and each other’s.
PARTNER YOGA
Speak your truth. Recommit from the heart.
SOMATIC RITUALS
Let the body speak what words cannot.
TEMAZCAL CEREMONY
Shed what no longer serves. Step into the sacred.
VOW RENEWAL
​
Whisper what you never say. Promise what truly matters.
SACRED POLARITY
Reignite attraction through balancing the masculine and feminine.
CEREMONY OF BECOMING
Honor who you've been. Step into who you're becoming—together.
