THE ART OF MAKING REQUESTS
Stop rubbing each other the wrong way!
What if learning to artfully make requests of each other could become the source of fewer conflicts, of a stronger partnership, and of deeper intimacy?
Any relationship requires requests, both positive (please do this) and negative (please don’t do that).
If you are currently (or have been in the past) in a long-term committed romantic relationship, you know that layers of resentment and closure and dysregulation lay on top of each other and tend to make us want to fight (increasing our tone and volume and facial and body expressions), flight (not wanting to make… or receive requests), freeze (dissociating and no longer being connected to our needs and boundaries), or fawn (jamming our partner’s radar in order to gain a sense of safety).
In addition (and we hope this is the case in your relationship) when we add the masculine-feminine polarity, we add another layer of complexity, misunderstandings and mistrusts. How can I ask him something without looking like a nagging wife/emasculating him? How can I ask her something without looking like I am trampling her boundaries without consent or looking like a Nice Guy with no substance, rudder, or brawn?
I trust you know what I am talking about!
Well, I have good news for you!

Our new LEARNIPLAYIGROW Atelier is intended to help you grow your love deeper, MUCH deeper
[Note how the following intended results are phrased as questions]
- Why do we typically rub each other the wrong way?
- What are the key ingredients in a healthy request?
- How can we learn to make requests in our partner’s “request” language?
- Can we do that [making requests in our partner’s “request” language] without losing our ground?
- And how much of the above is from better understanding the masculine/feminine polarity?
We invite you to join us to deepen your relationship through [in]evitable disconnects!
The module is both for individuals and for couples:
- If you are single, the Atelier will help you refine your understanding of what you are looking for and how to attract the love you are longing for. And it will help you prepare for a really fun time when that partner shows up in your life!
- If you are in a couple, the Atelier will help you re-open and further explore territories that may have lost creativity or become reactivity battle zones over the years. And it will be the best place to cultivate your very own couple playfulness, however strange or kinky it is!
We are SOOO much more magnetic when we are joyful and playful!
