Building Intimacy
An Intentional Wellness Experience for Couples
Reconnect. Slow down. Experience each other differently. Step away from the routines, responsibilities, and distractions of everyday life and intentionally make space for one another.
Building Intimacy is a therapist-guided couples wellness experience designed to help you explore connection through movement, meaningful conversation, intentional touch, and quality time together.
$300 per couple | October 17, 2026 12pm-4pm | Limited to 5 couples | Chicago, Illinois
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONNECTION:
Intimacy is more than sex.
It's the way you communicate. The way you touch. The way you trust.
The way you make space for one another. The way you feel seen, heard, and understood by your partner.
Building Intimacy was created to give couples an opportunity to step outside of their normal routine and intentionally explore the many ways we experience closeness within a relationship.
This isn't about just fixing your relationship.
It's about experiencing it.
WHO THIS IS FOR?
Created for couples who want to choose each other intentionally.
Want to feel more intentional and connected with one another
Want to explore intimacy beyond physical or sexual connection
Have been so busy doing life that quality time has taken a back seat
Want something more meaningful than the traditional date night
Want to strengthen emotional and physical connection
Want guided conversations they may not normally make time to have
Simply want to pour into a relationship that's already important to them
You don't have to be experiencing relationship problems to want a deeper connection.
Sometimes healthy relationships simply need intentional space to reconnect.
Not couples therapy.
Not another date night.
Something intentionally in between.
A thoughtfully curated wellness experience combining professional guidance, movement, conversation, connection, food, and time together.
Your Experience
Every element is designed to encourage connection.
01 / Move
Couples Stretch Experience
Begin your experience with approximately 50 minutes of guided partner stretching led by certified instructor. Through gentle movement, touch, trust, and shared moments, you'll have an opportunity to slow down and become more present with your partner.
No yoga or stretching experience required.
02 / Talk
Therapist-Guided Intimacy Conversation
Participate in a professionally guided conversation exploring the different ways intimacy shows up within relationships—from communication and vulnerability to affection, trust, partnership, and connection.
This is not a group therapy session.
03 / Connect
Curated Couples Lunch
Because connection shouldn't feel rushed. Enjoy lunch together while having space to relax, talk, laugh, and continue the conversations sparked throughout the experience.
04 / Continue
Something to Take Home
Each couple will receive a thoughtfully curated Building Intimacy gift bag with items selected to encourage continued connection and intentionality at home.

Shanequia
Licensed Clinical Therapist | Certified Sex Therapist | Founder of Peaceful Chaos
As a therapist, I've had the privilege of helping individuals and couples create healthier relationships with themselves and one another.
One thing I've learned is that intimacy doesn't happen only in the big moments. It's built in conversations. In vulnerability. In laughter. In affection. In feeling safe enough to be seen. And in intentionally choosing one another again and again.
I created Building Intimacy because couples deserve spaces to nurture their relationships outside of the therapy room.
This experience is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and explore your relationship differently—with professional guidance, but without the clinical feel of a therapy session.
Come as you are. Leave feeling a little more connected.
