About the Retreat:

Couples, be honest-Do you feel like you and your partner are speaking different languages?

Are you more like roommates than lovers? Can't find the middle ground between penny-pinching and splurging?

Struggling to thrive as an LGBTQ+ Couple in a heterocentric world?

Ever wish your relationship came to a "How To Manual?"

You're not alone. Even if you've been together since before "Netflix and Chill" was a thing, creating a successful partnership is challenging.

But just because improving your relationship requires work, doesn't mean it has to be hard.

Love Wins! is a fun, interactive weekend retreat designed to help you identify and correct the core issues plaguing your relationship so you can live a happier, healthier life together.

During the retreat, you and your partner will learn how to

• communicate using the Rosetta Stone of Relationships-the love languages
• crank up the heat in the bedroom
• reach a happy money medium
• manage stressors unique to LGBTQ couples
• create a vision board to plan your #couplegoals and how to get there

Most importantly, you'll feel butterflies again when you think about the person you've committed to spending your life with.

Love Wins! is run by Dr. Gregory Canillas, or Doc, as he's affectionately known. Doc is an award-winning psychologist with over 30 years of experience working with couples.

He's already helped hundreds of couples build happier and healthier relationships.

Just see what past couples have said:

"We really had in-depth and honest conversations...it was truly a safe space for all of us to learn, grow, challenge, and share our thoughts as well as experiences. I feel changed."

"Dr. Canillas brilliantly brings out the best in our shared knowledge and experiences. (He) validates our experiences. We left better prepared, hopeful, and rejuvenated with fresh ideas."

Through hands-on activities, engaging lectures, and exciting games, you'll...

Discover how childhood and family traumas are harming your relationship.

Reignite your passion for one another

Understand your partner's values about sex and money

Develop coping methods tailored to the unique issues LGBTQ couples face

Create happier outcomes from disagreements

You'll learn the same skills as couples who spend years in private sessions. And because the retreat is limited to no more than 12 hand-selected couples, you'll get the same level of personalized attention--without completely reorganizing your calendar.

If you're determined to be that adorable old couple in the park who everyone swoons over, a weekend away is all it takes. A weekend to prioritize your health and well-being. A weekend to tear up your "to-do" list and to put your phone on airplane mode. A weekend to truly dedicate yourselves to improving your couple.

Love Wins! takes place from December 20, 2024-December 22, 2024 at the beautiful 4-star The Scott Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona--the perfect place to soak up the relaxed Arizona desert atmosphere.

While you're there, admire The Scott Resort's unique design and modern decor. Relax with a workout in the well-equipped fitness center, have a swim in the outdoor pool, or book a massage or facial at the on-site spa. At end of the day, take in the Arizona sunset from your private patio or while lounging by the pool.

After our sessions finish, spend some quality time together exploring everything Scottsdale has to offer--local arts and crafts, hiking, golf, and world-class dining.
