Who we are
To a more integrated way of living
We’re Tantra-informed relationship guides in Colorado serving individuals and couples online and in person.
We offer private sessions, couples intensives, workshops, and retreats to strengthen communication, rebuild intimacy, and create secure, soulful connection.
Having been fortunate enough to meet one another, aligned with the same goal and devotion to Tantra, and for helping others through life and relationship.
We teach what we practise. That means the work is unglamorous as often as it is profound — and it means we won’t ask you to go anywhere we haven’t already been ourselves.
In person
Colorado. Private sessions, workshops and retreats, in small rooms.
Online
Working worldwide, so distance is never the reason to wait.
Alone or together
Individuals and couples, at whatever depth you actually want.
Ways to work together
Choose your depth
Every path starts the same way — a discovery call, no charge, no pressure. From there we point you at whichever door fits.
01 — One to one
Private Sessions
Individual work at your own pace. Somatic practice, nervous-system regulation, and honest conversation about what you actually want from intimacy.
02 — For couples
Couples Intensives
Three days, just the two of you and us. Personalised, unhurried, and built around the specific knot your relationship keeps returning to.
The arc of a session
Five movements
Nothing here is improvised. Every session, private or in a room of thirty, moves through the same five stages.
Arrive
Land in the room and in the body before anything is asked of you.
Soften
Breath and movement to bring the nervous system down out of guard.
Meet
Contact — with yourself, with a partner, with what is actually true today.
Deepen
The practice itself, taken as far as the day allows and no further.
Integrate
Rest, language, and a way to carry it home. This part is never skipped.
On practice
“Our life is shaped by our own mind, for we become what we think”
— Buddha
What’s running
Programmes & retreats
Dates are released a season ahead and rooms stay deliberately small. If nothing here fits, tell us — we run private intensives year round.

Online immersion
“What I got most from this program was a safe space to reengage with my masculine energy. I loved all the different ways we were pushed to find an edge and fight through resistance. I truly encourage anyone who is looking to grow and make a shift in their life to find the time to work with Ben. It’s the best gift you could ever give yourself.”

Let’s start with a conversation
