Ignite the Fire Between

A three-part series for couples

Sensate Spa, Bristol

6th, 13th, 20th September 2026

2.30pm-5.30pm


For couples who want more

More connection. More presence. More intimacy. More passion.

If you’re longing to deepen emotional closeness, experience more pleasure and explore a more conscious way of relating, this series is designed for you.

This is for you if….

  • Your relationship has slipped into routine or autopilot
  • Passion and intimacy have taken a back seat to work, family, and the demands of daily life
  • Unspoken resentment or emotional “clutter” are getting in the way of truly seeing each other
  • You feel stuck when expressing needs, boundaries, or desires
  • You feel mismatched in libido or longing for more vibrancy in your intimate life
  • You are ready to rebuild trust, increase emotional connection, and explore what deeper intimacy might look like together

Each workshop is 3 hours and centres on a specific theme that builds on the last.

Workshop 1 — Sunday 6th September 2026, 2.30pm–5.30pm

BUILDING TRUST & SAFETY

The journey always begins here. 

This workshop lays the foundation for everything that follows. You will explore how trust and safety can be built through attunement, co-regulation, and opening up clearer communication channels.

WHAT THESE WORKSHOPS OFFER

You and your partner will explore new ways of relating with curiosity, intention, and care. Using a blend of:

Movement and breath
Dialogue
Touch-based practices

(fully clothed)

Reflective & embodied exploration

You are invited to slow down, tune in, challenge limiting patterns, and discover what becomes possible when you relate with greater awareness, presence, and vulnerability.

Why the group environment is so powerful

Couples learn best when they can experience new ways of relating together. Talking about connection is very different from feeling, practicing and reflecting on it in a safe, guided space. Experiential exploration allows partners to move beyond old scripts and turn concepts like safety, trust, boundaries and desire into lived, embodied experiences and through this, we believe, real transformation is more likely to happen. We believe also that there can be valuable learning from hearing and witnessing other couples in their experience.

What you can expect

  • No explicit sexual touch or nudity. All practices are clothed and guided.
  • A series of exercises (some involving non-sexual touch over clothes) only performed as a couple
  • Some group discussion
  • Food will not be provided. At lunchtime, people are welcome to bring food that can be shared as a group.
  • The venue has a small spa which is available for booking (as a two hour slot) on the day of the workshop.
