Groups & Master Classes
Looking for a breakthrough in your relationship?
Join a Couples Master Class or Group Therapy Event led by Relationship Therapist Susie Ortega, trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). These in-person sessions go beyond talk therapy—blending coaching with the arts to create meaningful bonding experiences when words aren’t enough.
With over 20 years of experience, Susie helps couples heal relationship wounds, deepen emotional connection, and build the tools to truly show up for each other. Her approach, grounded in Attachment Theory, empowers couples to turn toward each other with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Emotional Intimacy Bootcamp for Men #2
Come As You Are — Not As Who You Think You Should Be
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing to show up — for yourself, your relationships, your future. This world needs men who can lead with strength, clarity, and heart.
This workshop is one step in that direction.

Connection is a dance. Not always graceful. Not always in sync. But always sacred.

For Men looking to grow in relationships and emotional awareness.
