Couples Workshop: Deepen Your Connection This Valentine’s

Forget the overpriced roses and last-minute dinner reservations—this Valentine’s Day, why not invest in something truly meaningful? If your idea of romance extends beyond heart-shaped chocolates and Hallmark sentiments, Intentional Intimacy, hosted by Breathe New Brunswick, might be exactly what you’re looking for.

 

Couples. Connection. Cacao

Taking place in the warm, inviting space of Divine Studio in Uptown Saint John, this guided couples workshop is designed to deepen connection, strengthen trust, and bring a renewed sense of intimacy to your relationship. And no, this isn’t some candlelit speed-dating exercise—it’s a heart-centred, non-sexual exploration of emotional closeness, led by experienced facilitators who understand that relationships thrive when given the right tools and attention.

 

What to Expect

From the moment you step into the studio, you and your partner will be guided through a series of intentional exercises designed to help you reconnect, communicate, and appreciate each other in a new light. The workshop includes:

 

  • Heart-Opening Cacao Ceremony – Warm, rich cacao serves as the perfect opening ritual, grounding you both and setting the tone for a meaningful experience.

 

  • Authentic Relating – Thoughtfully curated question prompts encourage vulnerability, honesty, and deep presence with your partner.

 

  • Eye Gazing Practice – This isn’t just staring at each other in awkward silence; it’s an opportunity to see and be seen, fostering connection in a way words can’t always capture.

 

  • Mindful Touch – Guided exercises explore the power of intentional, conscious touch, helping couples build trust and intimacy through presence and awareness.

 

  • Movement Practice – The session wraps up with a light, intentional movement practice designed to bring fluidity and lightness into your relationship dynamic.

 

This isn’t therapy, and it’s not about fixing something that’s broken—it’s about strengthening what already exists and carving out time to truly be present with each other. Whether you’ve been together for decades or are still in the honeymoon phase, this experience offers a rare chance to step away from distractions and prioritize your partnership.

 

The Details

The event takes place Saturday, February 15th, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Divine Studio, located at 87 Canterbury Street in Uptown Saint John. The cost is $100 per couple, and space is limited to just 10 pairs to ensure an intimate and enriching experience. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat, a cushion or bolster for sitting, water, and—most importantly—an open heart and mind.

 

New Brunswick may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of high-end relationship retreats, but this workshop is proof that you don’t need to hop on a plane to reconnect. Sometimes, all it takes is an afternoon, a cup of cacao, and a willingness to be fully present with the person you love.

 

Spots are limited, so if this sounds like your kind of Valentine’s Day refresh, book now. Because the best gift you can give this year isn’t in a box—it’s your undivided attention.
