Join Esther Perel, Dr. Paul Browde, and Benjamin Fry for this multi-day intensive to deepen connection, playfulness and vitality in your relationships. Esther, as a globally-celebrated cross-cultural sex and relationship therapist, will engage you in live interactions with her essential primer of relational intelligence, invigorated by Paul’s extensive experience as a storyteller, wilderness guide, and queer, IFS-informed psychiatrist. The intensive is curated by Benjamin Fry, a British trauma-informed psychotherapist, author, and founder of Khiron Clinics.
During your time together, these experts will combine discussion, interactive exercises, and physical practices surrounded by the natural beauty of this blue zone in Costa Rica. In an atmosphere free of judgment, Esther will present a nuanced and multicultural understanding of love, desire, and erotic intimacy.
