More Than Survival Mode: A Valentine’s Retreat for Real Connection

💛 Still Us: A Valentine’s Retreat for Couples with Diapers & Night Wakings 💛
(also known as: Our Needs Matter)

When you have young kids, it’s so easy for everything to revolve around them.
They’re wonderful. They’re needy. And somewhere along the way… you get lost.

This retreat is a pause button.
A chance to remember that your relationship matters too.

✨ Time to talk about what you want for your family
✨ Simple, doable routines that bring warmth back into daily life
✨ Tools for handling conflict with more care and less wear-and-tear
✨ Tiny rituals that add up: kisses hello and goodbye, a daily dance, intentional touch
✨ A shared vision, so it’s not all on one partner

You don’t have to be struggling to come.
You can be doing really well and still want more connection, more ease, more “we’ve got each other.”

When parents feel supported by each other, kids feel it too.
This is about building a relationship that becomes a place of rest in a noisy, demanding world.

If your nervous system feels… tired 😮‍💨
This space is for you.

I’d love to see you there. 💛

Limited scholarships are available. Babies in arms are welcome to attend.
