TOGETHER MORE

October 17 & 18, 2026, 9AM-6PM

A 2 Day immersion in the Tahoe National Forest at private retreat

Building, Maintaining & Amplifying Secure Attachment to Self & Others

An invitation

When we feel truly met,
our bodies soften.
our breath deepens.
life feels more possible.

Secure attachment is a self-reinforcing collaboration between two nervous systems.

Together More is a relational skills immersion devoted to understanding and embodying what secure attachment actually is, in action, not just in theory, and how to live with more of it, together.

What This Is

We are built for connection.
Many of us learned instead how to survive relationship.

Together More is a space to re-orient toward thriving.

When the relational conditions of presence, care, and responsiveness are reliably embodied, co-regulation strengthens itself over time.

We practice how to:

  • be present with our own experience in the moment

  • express presence and care without managing, performing, or “helping”

  • co-create warmth and ease

  • grow enjoyment without forcing or bypassing

This is not self-improvement.
It’s relational skill building.

Presence, clarified

Presence is not effort.
Not performance.
Not being “regulated enough.”

Presence becomes available when the nervous system feels supported.

We slow down.
We notice.
We stay.

We are not extracting, implying a need for outcome, or passing judgement.

Attachment, without pathology

We all carry patterns—
ways of reaching, bracing, withdrawing, adapting.

Not as problems.
As intelligent responses.

These patterns are not static. We can change our behavior, and neurochemistry, if we know what to practice instead of a familiar and unsatisfying response.

In Together More, we explore how these patterns shape the closeness we experience—and practice what we can actually do instead.

With choice.
With kindness.
Without forcing ourselves into discomfort.

Nervous-system–informed

Polyvagal theory, attachment theory and education about the autonomic and parasympathetic nervous systems are woven throughout as a living framework.

We learn:

  • how safety and connection arise in real time

  • how ventral vagal states support play, curiosity, and pleasure

  • how to gently shift out of survival responses

Feeling better together is not a demand.
It’s a byproduct.

Who this is for

Together More is for individuals, couples, and practitioners who want:

  • more ease in relationship

  • deeper presence without strain

  • practical, usable relational skills

  • an experience that is warm, intelligent, and alive

You don’t need to be fixed.
You don’t need to arrive calm.
You just need curiosity and consent to practice.
