Intimate Reconnections

Private Relationship Immersion
with Linda Weiner in St. Louis

A relationship therapy experience in historic St. Louis for those who are experiencing difficulties with emotional or sexual intimacy, or both. The Immersion is taken privately, with you individually and as a couple, working with Linda daily, or several times daily in her St. Louis office, for a weekend or longer. Your relationship immersion will extend to your evenings when, as you wish, you may practice relaxation and mindfulness tools that I will be offering.

This time away from family and daily concerns will allow us to work on all aspects of your relationship -- emotional, physical, spiritual, sexual -- as you combine daily work with Linda with your own exploration of St. Louis and your own private time.

The Park Avenue Mansion bed and breakfast overlooking the oldest public park west of the Mississippi, in historic Lafayette Square, is a warm and private oasis at the end of your day. St. Louis is rich with restaurants and food culture, significant architecture, museums, a world class symphony, great rock venues, and a blues and music tradition with deep connections to Chicago, Memphis, and New Orleans.

We will work together to build or rebuild your connection to one another.

I understand how a couple can lose their connection as natural familiarity, raising a family, building careers, frequent business travel, illness and other life issues slowly wear away at their relationship; how one day, they look at one another and wonder what happened, and they wonder how the relationship that was once so charged with laughter and intimacy can be restored.

I have twenty plus years of guiding couples back to being the intimate partners they once were.

I can help.

Prior to the retreat experience:

• We'll talk on the phone about relationship strengths, concerns, and goals for the Immersion.

During the retreat experience you will:

• learn how to experience mindfulness and relaxation through a series of experiential exercises
  
  
• be given the opportunity to practice communication skills and learn various techniques to improve problem solving and intimacy
  
  
• be invited to incorporate Tantric techniques as one modality of experiencing renewed connection
  
  
• carry out suggested sensual/sexual experiences in the privacy of your accommodations in order to re-establish and strengthen trust and connection, and later process these exercises with me
  
  
• experience a jump start effect which can be re-integrated into your everyday life.

This experience leaves plenty of time to learn and relax together without the typical interruptions of everyday life.

After the immersion experience:

• Couples are scheduled for three monthly coaching check-ins (by phone, of up to 30 minutes each) to help assure a successful transition back into the pressures of everyday life. These check-ins are intended to help sustain your progress.

A note about sexual difficulties:

• Lack of desire for sexual relatedness, and/or sexual boredom, are common threads for couples who have become disengaged. These sexual concerns will likely improve as a result of this Immersion experience.

• Sexual difficulties such as erectile dysfunction, orgasmic or pain difficulties will be addressed as needed during the Immersion.
