4 days, 3 nights at The Lovers Chalet.
Small group experience
You feel like you're just treading water &
...something needs to change.
BODY
is four days with nothing more urgent than each other.
When reaching for your partner
starts to feel less like an instinct and more like one more thing on an already full list.
Most couples don't lose
desire for each other.
They lose the time,
the energy,
and eventually the muscle memory for reaching.
Somewhere in the last few years, "we should" became "someday."
Someday, when the kids are older.
Someday, when work slows down.
Someday, when you're not both this tired.
You didn't decide to stop reaching for each other — it just got quietly outcompeted,
week after week,
by everything that seemed more urgent in the moment.
None of it ever was.
BODY is four days with nothing more urgent than each other.
Meet your Guides.

Why we created this: Mike's version
After years hunting for solutions and finding them... the consummate instructor in me emerged. My extensive work with the nervous system alone has been seminal clinically for 1000's of people over the last 25 years. This, coupled with extensive experience in a host of therapeutic methods (most designed around nervous system wellness and peak performance), I decided it was time to take my knowledge outside the clinical setting.
Melissa and I have both lived in relationship deserts. We did our absolute best in those times to self improve, to hold love, to self manage. So, when we met and the super-nova of love exploded we were STUNNED at how great relationship can be every day. THAT is what we want for everyone.
Lovers' Chalet is where everything we've learned comes together.
We have designed experiences using the science, clinical research, personal work, and professional experience of over 50 years combined, to bring you our offering.
"We want (relationship bounty) for EVERYONE"
Why we created this: MELISSA's take
Relationships innoculate us against the myriad perils of this world. I believe this. I've spent the better part of 30 years studying relationship communication, conflict resolution, transpersonal psychology and the art of joy. I dove into Tantra in my 20s but didn't find a partner truly interested in playing in that realm until I met Mike. That's when everything I'd studied became gold. I'd met someone who embodied presence, authenticity and a commitment to nourishing the garden of our relationship.
As I see the impact of this kind of love on our children, our friends and our extended family, I believe even more fiercely in the power of presence in love. It's my mission to help other couples find that space in one another again. Body. Presence. Joy. Say 'yes' to all of it.
"Say YES to all of it."
