Transform your
relationship
in one weekend
A deeply immersive experience for couples ready to stop repeating the same patterns — and finally step into the love they've always wanted.
Secure your spot —€395 p.p.
We don't marry a person. We marry our unfinished business. And in that choice lies the greatest invitation of our lives.
— Emanuela, facilitator
Most couples wait until a crisis forces them to act. But the distance you feel — the arguments that loop, the conversations that don't land, the slow drift away from each other — none of this is inevitable.
The Path of Love is a two-day guided experience designed to help you understand why you are the way you are with each other, and how to step into something deeper and more real.
Based on Imago Relationship Therapy and years of working with couples, this weekend will give you practical tools you can use for the rest of your life together.
Who is this for
This weekend was made for you if...
You love each other — but something is off
You're not in crisis, but there's a growing distance you can't quite name. You want to reconnect before the gap widens further.
You keep having the same fight
The topics change, but the dynamic doesn't. You want to understand what's really happening beneath the surface and how to break the cycle.
You're ready to go deeper
Your relationship is solid, but you sense there's more available — more intimacy, more honesty, more genuine aliveness with each other.
Childhood patterns are showing up
You sense that old wounds — from how love was modelled for you growing up — are affecting how you love today. You want to change that.
Weekly therapy feels too slow
You want focus, depth, and real results. Research shows an immersive weekend can produce the equivalent of six months of weekly sessions.
You're at a crossroads
Something has to shift. You're not sure what the future holds, but you want to explore what's possible before making any decisions.
This retreat is not suited for
Couples experiencing acute crises, recent trauma, or serious mental health challenges are better supported through individual couples therapy. If you're unsure, reach out before registering.
What you'll discover
Six things that will change how you love
Why you chose each other
Your partner is not a coincidence. Learn the unconscious forces that drew you together — and how understanding them unlocks something beautiful.
Conflict as a doorway
Arguments aren't problems to solve — they're growth trying to happen. You'll learn to move through conflict toward deeper connection, not away from it.
The dialogue that heals
A structured, step-by-step way to have the conversations that have always felt impossible — safely, without blame, and with real understanding.
Your survival pattern
Discover whether you're a Pursuer or a Withdrawer — and how understanding your partner's pattern ends the chase-and-withdraw dynamic forever.
How to build a love sanctuary
Practical, daily acts of care that create safety, desire, and the freedom to be completely yourself with another person.
The forgiveness that frees you
Not the forced kind. A powerful process to release old wounds so they stop quietly shaping every interaction you have today.
What to expect
Two days. Just the two of you.
Friday evening · Arrival
Land and settle in
Arrive at Horsterwold, settle into the space, and meet the other couples in a relaxed welcome evening. Set your intention for the weekend.
Saturday · Day 1
The roots of love
Morning theory sessions and guided exercises exploring childhood blueprints, your unconscious partner selection, and the patterns beneath your conflicts.
Saturday afternoon
The mirror dialogue
Learning and practising the Imago dialogue process. You'll leave this session having had a conversation with your partner you've never had before.
Sunday · Day 2
Healing and recommitting
Deepening vulnerability, forgiveness practices, re-romanticising your bond, and closing with a personal commitment ceremony for two.
You never share with the group
All exercises are done privately with your partner. Group sharing is entirely optional. Your relationship stays your own.
Evidence-based, not therapy
This is an educational workshop grounded in Imago Relationship Therapy. Results are comparable to months of weekly counselling — in two focused days.
Tools that last a lifetime
You leave with a workbook and a set of practical dialogues you can return to again and again — long after the weekend ends.
A restorative setting
Horsterwold is a beautiful nature reserve in the Netherlands — away from daily life and built for the kind of focus this work deserves.
Your guide
Guided by Emanuela
Emanuela has spent over a decade working with couples and individuals on what it truly means to love well — not perfectly, but honestly.
Her work is personal as much as it is professional. She knows the pain of broken relationships, the confusion of repeating patterns, and the extraordinary freedom that comes from finally understanding why we do what we do in love.
Through a combination of Imago Relationship Therapy, systemic work, and her own deeply human approach, she has guided thousands of people toward more connected, alive, and honest relationships.
What couples say
Words from people who have done the work
"We are nearly 43 years married, but we learned to see our relationship with completely new eyes — and actually use what we learned."
"I was moved to tears more than once. What is remarkable is how Emanuela creates such a safe, intimate atmosphere in a room full of people."
"Beautiful balance, so many insights, and everything built up so naturally. I've been four times and still discover something new each visit."
"I was able to reflect on my own part in our relationship — and what I could have done differently. That clarity alone was worth everything."
"This seminar can lead to genuine self-insight and real behavioural change. It is put together exceptionally well. You sit on the edge of your seat."
"I arrived with blocks I didn't even know I had. I left feeling enriched, lighter, and full of new energy for love."
