Love Wins! Exclusive Retreat for LGBTQ+ Couples. Soul 2 Soul Global welcomes you to this unique opportunity designed to create healthier relationships.

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

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 spent 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 20 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 an 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 to put your phone on airplane mode. A weekend to truly dedicate yourselves to improving your couple.

Love Wins! takes place from November 4, 2022-November 6, 2022 at the luxurious 4-star Hyatt Hotel in Palm Springs, California.

While you're there, admire Hyatt's modern design touches. Step out of the hotel and onto North Canyon Drive, where you will enjoy unique shops and delicious dining options. Relax with a workout in the well-equipped fitness center or take a swim in the beautiful and relaxing pool.

After our sessions finish, you create your itinerary. Explore everything the Hyatt and Palm Springs has to offer including the relaxing spas, the Palm Springs Art Museum, interesting art galleries, and world-class dining.

When you find yourself in Palm Springs be sure to visit some, if not all, of its interesting attractions and activities.

Recently revamped the downtown area of Palm Springs, now called Greater Palm Springs , is a stylish hub of entertainment, dining, and shopping. This is the place to spend a few hours people watching, enjoying a cocktail, shopping, and more. Throughout Downtown Palm Springs there are a plethora of boutiques, perfect for finding unique gifts, souvenirs, and items of clothing.

It is also a great place to eat. When hunger strikes you can eat whatever your heart or rather stomach, desires as almost every type of cuisine is available. What will you choose: French, American, Mexican, or something else entirely?

The Palm Springs Art Museum is a collection of three locations, which provide visitors with a glimpse into the colorful world and imagination of local artists and nature. You can choose between:

• Palm Springs Art Museum, closed Monday-Wednesday, which exhibits a variety of art for example watercolor landscapes, contemporary native art and American modernist art.
• Architecture and Design Centre, which opens in September 2021.

• Art Museum in Palm Desert , on Highway 111, is home to the Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden home to a mapped-out route, which guides you through 60 desert plants and past 14 sculptures.

Tahquitz Canyon is located in the Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians Reservation, just 2 miles south of Palm Springs. The scenery there offers another take of Californian nature.

After stretching your legs on a hike and a few photo stops you will be led to the magnificent 60-foot waterfall, Tahquitz Canyon. You can also learn about the local rock art and ancient irrigation systems at the Visitor Center.

Don’t leave until to hear about the legend of Tahquitz and the creator Mukat.

Since 1938, the Moorten Botanical Garden has been a charming residential estate open to the public to share ‘the beauty and extraordinary varieties of desert plants.’

It probably won’t surprise you that this is a magical wonderland of every type of cacti you can imagine, tall, small, fat, and thin. But what makes this place extra special are the animals that live amongst the spikey jungle. As you explore, keep your eyes open for lizards and tortoises. There is also an aviary of doves, which you can casually walk through.

Visiting Palm Springs is your opportunity to ride “the world’s largest rotating tramcar.” The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will provide you with 360° scenic of the valley and surrounding mountains. In addition, once you reach the Mountain Station you can visit the natural history museum, watch local documentaries or enjoy a hike.

For a fantastic day trip from Palm Springs, travel 40 miles (64 km) to the world-famous Joshua Tree National Park. Each year approximately 3 million people visit the park and it’s not surprising why. There are many activities you can do including:

• Hiking – Arch Rock Trail, Barker Dam Trail, Mastodon Peak and Last Palms Oasis.
• Rock climbing – granite rocks and boulders.
• Camping – there are 4 campgrounds.
• A park-rangers guided tour.

If you can hang around until nightfall, do it! Joshua Tree National Park is an excellent place to stargaze. For tips on stargazing and night photography, check out ‘stargazing’ on the official Joshua Tree National Park website.

Our Connect & Unwind: Love Wins! . The event coincides with the 35th anniversary of Palm Springs Pride. The celebrations start on November 1st, with the Festival itself taking place November 3rd to the early hours of the 6th, and the Parade is due to happen on the 5th.
