Healthy relationships can feel strange when we are used to intensity, uncertainty, or having to work hard for someone’s attention. Sometimes peace feels boring simply because our bodies are more familiar with the highs and lows of unstable connections.

This week, we are talking about the difference between excitement and instability, what keeps desire and curiosity alive, and how to bring more play, surprise, and intention into relationships that already feel safe.

Love Series 8: The Ways We Learn to Love

Love does not begin with our first relationship. It is shaped by the families we come from, the friendships we choose, the roles we inherit, and the patterns we carry with us.

This series invites us to look more closely at how those experiences show up in our relationships now. Together, we will explore chosen family, gender roles, parental wounds, the difference between safety and boredom, and what it means to accept someone without enabling behavior that causes harm.

There will be space for honesty, reflection, connection, and, as always, a little bit of fun along the way.

Week One: Chosen Family and Love for Friends

Week Two: Gender Roles in Relationships

Week Three: Mommy/Daddy Issues

Week Four: How to Make Healthy Relationships More Exciting

Week Six: Fun Week!!

We’ll meet Mondays and Tuesdays for one hour, for six weeks. Please only join if you can commit to at least the first three weeks.

Seats are limited, so reserve your spot while you can.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
