Connect & Unwind: Love Wins! LGBTQ+ Weekend Couples Retreat (SAN FRAN)

About San Francisco:

Embark on a mesmerizing journey to the City by the Bay, where innovation, diversity, and natural beauty converge to create an electrifying tapestry of experiences. San Francisco, a city that dances on the edge of the Pacific, invites you to explore its iconic landmarks, hilly streets, and the unmistakable vibe that makes it a cultural mecca like no other.

Start your adventure by traversing the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, where the rust-orange span gracefully connects the city to the wild beauty of Marin County. Marvel at the panoramic views of the city skyline, Alcatraz Island, and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Dive into the eclectic neighborhoods, from the bohemian spirit of Haight-Ashbury to the trendy boutiques and culinary delights of the Mission District.

Step aboard one of San Francisco's famous cable cars, clinging to the exterior as it climbs the city's legendary hills. Explore the historic Fisherman's Wharf, where the aroma of clam chowder and fresh seafood mingles with the sounds of sea lions basking in the sun. Journey to Alcatraz, the infamous island Pr*son, and unlock the mysteries of its storied past.

Discover the city's cultural kaleidoscope at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) or lose yourself in the vibrant murals of the Mission. Indulge your taste buds in the culinary wonders of Chinatown, where flavors burst with authenticity and tradition. For a touch of nature, escape to Golden Gate Park, an urban oasis where botanical gardens, museums, and open spaces beckon.

As night falls, witness the city come alive in a symphony of lights. Explore the nightlife in North Beach or soak in the artistic ambiance of the Castro District. Embrace the fog-kissed ambiance that blankets the city, adding an air of mystery and enchantment.

San Francisco is a city that captivates the soul, leaving an indelible mark on those who venture into its vibrant streets. From the iconic landmarks to the hidden gems waiting to be discovered, this is a journey that promises excitement, diversity, and the unmistakable spirit of San Francisco.

Love Wins! is a weekend-long couple retreat that combines LGBTQ+ specific coaching with a luxurious resort experience.

About this event:

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 with 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 to spend your life with.

Love Wins! is run by Dr. Gregory Canillas, or Doc, as he's affectionately known. Doc is an award-winning relationship 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 conversation...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 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 put your phone on airplane mode. A weekend to truly dedicate yourselves to improving your couple.

Love Wins! takes place from June 6, 2025-June 8, 2025 at the trendy and slick InterContinental Hotel in San Francisco, California.

The Intercontinental, a luxury hotel featuring a Michelin star awarded restaurant is designed for the most discerning traveler. Each room features views of the city or bay.

After our sessions finish, you create your itinerary. Explore everything the Intercontinental has to offer including an award-winning restaurant, shop in Union Square, or visit one of the city's charming neighborhoods.
