Chicago · Saturday, October 10th · 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM · From $355
An urban retreat for embodiment, connection & conscious relationship.
“In a city that never stops moving, intimacy rarely happens by accident.”
We live surrounded by people yet often disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and our communities. Between careers, technology, endless obligations, and the pace of urban life, genuine connection can become something we long for rather than something we actively cultivate. The Art of Intimacy is a full-day urban retreat designed for modern humans who want more—from themselves, their relationships, and their lives. It welcomes individuals, couples, non-binary folks, polycules, and all relationship configurations, in a grounded, inclusive, and sober environment.

As the day unfolds · optional
Temple Night
As the day unfolds and trust is cultivated within the group, participants may attend an optional, carefully facilitated Temple Night. Rooted in contemporary tantric and sacred relational traditions, it offers a container for exploring presence, devotion, connection, sensuality, and authentic expression through structured practices and intentional agreements.
Always voluntary. Consent-centered. Guided with care.
Attending solo
Arrive as you are
PLACEHOLDER — singles intro copy goes here. Leave room for a warm, inclusive paragraph that welcomes solo attendees: what the day offers when you come on your own, who it's for, and why arriving solo is celebrated rather than an afterthought. The client will replace this with final wording.
