deepen your connection and build future support using strategy, psychology and spiritual growth

 
 
 
 

Terrain

We’ll start by covering some groundwork before digging into the nitty gritty. Studying our “frames of reference” lays a healthy foundation for both organic and strategic growth.

Trellis

You’ll be led through the process of building a family rule. Infusing the realities of day-to-day with mindfulness, there’s no better way to give your relationship the support it needs.

Tools

Sending you off with ways to tend your connection with care. Our brilliant speakers will unearth how psychology + spirituality can make such a big impact on our hearts.

The best of urban culture, with a so-cal beachy vibe.

 
 
 
 

FAQ:

Will there be childcare?

Most likely, no. That said, our venue DOES have a space we could use (on-site) if there ends up being enough guests interested in bringing their little ones! This would operate as a co-op of sorts and anyone interested would be responsible for paying the fee to cover potential care givers.

Where should we stay?

There are many nearby hotels that we’re happy to recommend! The Westin, The Courtyard Marriott, and The Renaissance Hotel are all a quick walk or scooter or Lyft ride away from our venue.

Additionally, you’re welcome to use this airbnb link to get a discount off your first stay. Let us know if you are interested in sharing a rental with another couple and we will be more than happy to connect you!

Where should we park?

If you are coming from out of town and staying at a hotel near the venue, we definitely recommend attending the daily events on foot. Downtown Long Beach is thankfully quite walkable (and safe!) but if you end up driving in from farther away, there are multiple pay-to-park garages that are just steps away.

For out-of-town guests who would like to skip renting a car, we’ll also have ride-sharing discount codes that will be sent along ahead of time.

How can I get involved?

We’d love to feature relevant businesses and brands alongside our curated content for the weekend. Message us here for more info and please be sure to tell us all about the project or idea you are working on.
