Husband-wife coaching duo from Intimacy Alchemists are launching “Bring back the butterflies”, a first-of-its-kind online program for couples designed to explore the secrets of having greater awareness and intimacy in relationships. The program approaches Love and Passion as skill-based Disciplines which can be learned, cultivated and mastered. The sessions start on 23 January 2021 and are available internationally to groups of 10 people, providing support in times of stress, uncertainty and transition.
Guided by the mantra that the quality of life is given by the quality of the most intimate relationships people have, the coaches look at intimacy as being vulnerability undisguised, built on people’s openness and willingness to let go of norms and be seen. This brings into light how greater intimacy, both at work and at home, can increase the level of trust and forgiveness and boost human relationships and people’s overall wellbeing and fulfilment. The take-aways can be applied to any relationship in life. For this to be an immersive experience, participants will be also guided to speak about the unspoken as the source of change.
Despite successful relationships being generally perceived as the result of good luck, great chemistry, or convenience, the laws of love are those which determine the amount of fulfilment experienced in intimate lives. Finding out how to improve Relationship Skills and observing the Disciplines of Love and Passion can strengthen one’s relationships.
The one-month program is developed across 4 weeks, each being allocated to a different theme as follows: week 1 – “Where are you going?”; week 2- “Needs and emotions”; week 3 – “Loving no matter what” and week 4 – “Get undressed”. During this time, members have the opportunity to explore every topic in-depth and apply their learnings through interactive exercises. Once they discover all the faces of relationships and identify which are relevant to their status, people can start the process of intentional change. To build trust and a warm circle of vulnerability, they then learn about human needs and how to master them to their own and everyone else’s benefit. From here, the next step is to learn about emotions to help break the pattern of negative and destructive ones.
Week three focuses on understanding “The Discipline of Loving No Matter What: The Power of Love, Adoration & Praise”, to support people in building long-term commitment and fairness in their relationship. Finally, by learning how to face their deepest fears, tap into their inner strength, and bring what their partners need most, members will start mastering the magic of trust building and rebuilding in their relationship.
The founders of the program, Ileana and Alexandru, join forces to break traditional norms and stereotypes through their distinct approach to coaching. Their similar life experiences of overpassing sickness, separation, depression and crises bring real value to members.
Alexandru was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis only after a few months of relationship. As they started exploring ways of dealing with it, they realised the key lies in finding their authentic selves, which also involves a lot of darkness. As years passed by, they started to connect better and better, hear each other and not hold back resentments about the past. What is more, they have started to forgive themselves. After some progress was made, they started to apply the theory learnt from all the teachers, healers and parenting experts they met during the years. This led them to share their knowledge to the outside world and teach what they are here to learn.
“It wasn’t easy at the beginning because I searched, like most people, for the quick fix, a pill or a treatment that could redeem back my health and wellbeing. Only when I started seeing beyond my physical symptoms and paid attention to what my body, mind and spirit were telling me, I found the right answers, and I’m driven to share this with the people around me,” says Alexandru.
In a leap of faith after years of committing to a wrong career path, both Ileana and Alexandru decided to follow their true calling. “We believe that the road to evolution can only happen in a relationship. There is where the growth lies, and the source of enlightenment. Once we accepted in our own relationship that there is no monster to fight against, just us and about us, we started thriving. We are here to share our story and to teach what we are here to learn. Our values reside in being the teacher and the pupil, at the same time,” adds Ileana.
Through their work, they are also promoting gender parity and building the blocks of a new society which is not promoting toxic feminism or masculinity, but a fair chance of evolution and growth, irrespective of gender.
The “Bring back the butterflies” program also provides members with access to a private group, where they can share their struggles, progress and receive feedback from both coaches, all for an investment of 500 EUR/450 GBP.
