The Love Lab for Couples

~ A playground for couples to explore conscious relationships ~

 

This series of fun, evidence-based, creative workshops combine science and spirituality to cultivate true, deep and lasting love. Welcome to The Love Lab!

We fall in love, have a “honeymoon period” when we are ga-ga over each other, and then the reality of living/being with another beautiful but imperfect human sets in. After a while it’s make-or-break, or perhaps just a bit mundane… Is it possible to increase the chances of staying together “happily ever after”?

Are there things couples can do to keep the flame burning strong for years and decades? 

 

The answer to both of these questions is actually yes! In fact this is where the real love begins.

Did you know there is an entire field of scientific research dedicated to thriving romantic relationships? We are so lucky to have a positive psychologist and romantic relationship coach in our midst who has studied the science of relationships for years.

  • Yes, like all things we build relationships do take effort, but really, that effort can be utmost pleasure, fun and joy.
  • By doing X Y Z we can cultivate positivity, understanding, love and joy in our relationships.
  • Yes, there are simple key practices that “make the love last”
  • Differences can be a growing point and blessing for growth and complimentary strengths, rather than our divider, if we consciously navigate them

Louise Hellerstedt has come together with Narissa Allibhai to take you through a series of workshops combining play, art, music, sound, movement, science, holistic wellness (mind body soul), and proven deep practices to connect deeply, to learn, to love and to –

~ Take your date night to the next level ~

 

The Love Lab builds on the research of world-renowned award-winning psychologist Dr John Gottman. Based on his findings, researchers are able to predict with 90% accuracy the long-term outcome between couples. In our playground, we will explore the key practices that were consistently found in all long-term, happy, loving romantic relationships.

This first workshop is the FOUNDATION to a lasting and loving romantic relationship, as we celebrate and explore what love really looks like for you and your partner. We tend to assume that loving is obvious and easy, when in fact love takes on a unique form for each unique unicorn. In this first Love Lab, we do our best to put assumptions to rest whilst creating the love of our desires – through art, sharing, connecting, theory, and play!

 

Did you know:

The energy we cultivate in our romantic relationships ripples out through all areas of our lives and into the lives of those around us. In this highly charged space, we have the opportunity to magnify potent healing energies such as happiness, vitality, resilience and creativity.

 

The Love Lab Series

The monthly Love Labs will be interactive and embedded with conscious practices and life’s little luxuries. Delicious tea and treats will be provided as we celebrate this beautiful co-created love space!

We have 7 parts of the Love Lab series planned, each building upon the previous ones.

They can be attended individually, however the more you attend the more your relationship will benefit as each workshop brings a new and different key practice to the table – therefore we have created a huge discount for you who decide to dance this whole journey to a conscious lasting positive relationship with us.

Please note that workshops 5, 6 & 7 are more advanced and therefore do require that you have attended at least 2 prior.
