WELCOME TO EDEN
This is your place to be the greatest expression of yourself through love.
Where your relationship lives free.
Where your love is celebrated and encouraged.
Where the mess and the success that comes along with partnership are shared openly with other beloveds on a similar path.
A place where we can all learn and grow from each other as a beloved community of committed partners.
We do our best and stay classy.
Yet we are not afraid to have fun.
We make mistakes and we learn from them.
We are willing to grow, be vulnerable and…
We cherish our beloveds and act with integrity.
We are committed to supporting each other as individuals, as couples and as community.
Come inside, take a load off… you are home.
Welcome to Eden World.
The old story and old way of being in a relationship is to do it alone and prove one’s strength and commitment to stand strong on one’s own. This story is a lie and no longer serves the higher good.
Eden opens up a new perspective where the braver, stronger and more confident choice is to be vulnerable and take responsibility for the fact that we don’t have it all figured out.
In Eden World, we have a community of like-minded, open-hearted, loving couples and souls who are willing to hold each other in the great, the shit and everything in between so that we rise up together in a loving community. We are not alone anymore. Now, in Eden, we can stand together.
WHAT IS EDEN?
Relationships sit at the center of human creation. How we are within our relationships determines how we are as a society. When relationships thrive, humanity prospers.
Eden offers a sanctuary, a home to practice being in sacred union with ourselves, our beloved and each other. Eden is built on the foundation of the Coupledom (the master archetypes of the King and Queen, Mother and Father or Masculine and Feminine principles in union.) That’s the unique proposition of Eden. It is not a world merely built on the rugged individual or the lone pioneer, although it includes all of that, as the full sovereignty of the individual is essential – for Eden to rise again, it must be a world built on sacred partnership.
Eden is a safe container to lean in to being who we really are, wherever we are, and receive honest feedback and support – without judgment – so we can be more open and expressed in our relationship (to become the best versions of ourselves individually, in partnership and in the world).
It starts with the sovereign individual. Then it becomes the sacred union of partnership. This is supported and up-leveled by a Council (a group of couples lifting each other and practicing community in the micro). Then when those come together, it becomes the beloved community – an ecosystem of life long support.
OUR COLLECTIVE JOURNEY
The Pillars of Sovereignty, Unity, Community & Humanity
Sovereignty (Supporting Our Individuality): At Eden we start with a foundation that supports our presence, our full self expression, our individual needs and an empowered sense of personality responsibility. From here we support each other in building the bedrock to access the best versions of ourselves. Eden is a place that welcomes your sovereign expression in all its forms and supports you in showing up more powerfully in your relationships, your community and our world.
Unity (Your Relationship): As we enter our relationship from our full sovereignty, at Eden we learn from our partners and from each other’s relationships what it takes to co-create a relationship container that serves the highest expression of both partners. At Eden we have come to realize that our relationship is our north star and holds the key to our evolution and we notice that “what is in the way, is the way” as we are encouraged here to lean in to love, lean in to our devotion to one another, lean in to assuming the best of those around us as we commit to see things all the way through.
Community (Your Support System): Next as we bring our committed partnership into a community container we realize that we can most easily heal ourselves in the context of our relationship and we can most easily heal our relationship in the context of a loving supportive community. Having an ecosystem of support of other conscious couples in the giving frequency allows us to ask for what we were afraid to ask for and, because we don’t have to hold our beloveds (or ourselves) alone, we experience getting all needs met as we hold it all together. In Eden we realize the power of having an ecosystem of support that holds our relationship as sacred and treats each other as we treat our beloveds to help us all fulfill our larger purpose of service in the world – individually and as a couple.
Humanity (Our Service To the World): As we are filled up and held in our Sovereignty, Unity & Community we have more to give to Humanity. In Eden we are a community of givers and service providers that feel passionately about leaving a better world for seven generations to come. Collectively, we are able to offer our gifts, wisdom and resources to many more than just those within our community because our cups runneth over and our hearts are wide open to a vision of co-creating the proverbial “promised land” where humanity thrives.
THE PROMISE OF EDEN
Eden reawakens couples to what they really are as a couple, and what’s really available, when you use the vehicle of coupledom for the full evolutionary potential that it holds — it is the most powerful vehicle for self-actualization and fulfillment and creating a world that works for the highest good of everyone. And Eden is THE model/place where couples (and the individuals within them) can finally realize this full potential.
An environment where all needs, fears, desires can be communicated and received without judgement, so we can get to what our true needs are – and have them met….more here.

PROFOUND INSIGHTS
You’ll receive profound insights, expanding frameworks and will learn something new about your relationship edges every month sharing tools and learning from each other’s expertise, knowledge and life lessons.
VULNERABILITY & SAFETY
We create a safe container and learn how to hold space for each other so it’s safe to share what’s going on, not have to ‘hold it ALL together’ as we realize that collectively ‘we can hold it all TOGETHER’ and let yourself be seen and held in a way that is uniquely Eden. You’ll have the feeling that it is safer to say something that you aren’t sure you can say but know you can share it here.
DEEP JUICY & CONNECTED CONVERSATIONS
There is a sense of a really deep juicy couple to couple connection and community conversation. The Eden ethos and ways we encourage couples to interact in the Sanctuary are deeper and ‘go the whole way through’, so they have a special experience that is unique to Eden. We create the space to ‘not step over’ things and keep supporting couples and individuals to engage in deeper conversations, exploring the various layers
EMPOWERING YOUR SOVEREIGNTY
There is care to your individual sovereignty and each individual is held and also your relationship. We stand for each of you and for your relationship. It’s safe to share and we hold the three of you sacred – each individual and the couple.
CELEBRATING YOUR RELATIONSHIP
This is where your love is upheld as sacred. Every member of the Eden community stands for your relationship and your life success like no other. You have a group of people that are on your team to celebrate your relationship.
FUN
This is a place to have fun with other couples, to be in the delight and enjoyment. You’ll laugh, you’ll enjoy date nights with your beloved sparked by what’s happening in the Sanctuary, you’ll see art and music… a feast for your soul.
What Members Are Saying...
“Eden helps push me more in my purpose and has helped me embrace my beloved in ways that I would not have been able to do on my own.”
“It was so clear that this community is a place for healing and growing in relationship. We got to live, breathe, and feel what that means in Reimagine, not just talk about it. The container was the full spectrum: sexy and fun, deep and vulnerable. The connection leaders, speakers, facilitators all lived the principles and through that we got enough of a taste of what’s possible that it was impossible to say no. Saying YES was saying YES to big, bold love.”
““We said yes so that we’d have a place, reserved in time, to make sure we focus on each other and our relationship. It’s just to easy to let busy lives keep putting other things first and we knew we needed support to keep putting our growth, love and development first!”
“I am so happy to find a group of intelligent, conscious couples where it’s all about commitment, awakening and growing. I’m like, ‘Where have these people been?’ We’ve been seeking this for a long time. I didn’t know they existed! Since the weekend event we’ve had a LOT less conflict because of being held in a container & not feeing alone. It feels so grounding.It feels amazing and safe to know that the core of this group is commitment.”
“We just want to say how amazing this group of couples is and how deeply helpful and healing it is to have you conscious couples holding us both. As well as being a stand for our highest good individually and collectively. It feels like a rare privilege and I imagine a rare experience for most couples. It would be revolutionary for other couples to have this, like game-changing for relationships. We are so, so grateful for what you have created here. Love you.”
“What is Eden for me? It's the next thing. It's the now thing. Right now. It's happening now. And whenever I get lost, I come right back to it and it expands me more to be the best I have ever been.”
“It’s a no brainer. We had a couples counselor holding us but felt like she was no longer helping us uplevel. Being held in a community of couples feels like that next container for us.”
“The amazing people that have come into our lives because of Eden, is just mind blowing"
“It was a natural HEAVEN YES for us. Something We’d be calling in. High level conscious couples. Amazing activities and structure. Consistency for the longevity of our commitment and impact together as a couple. Felt so right!”
"As new parents, the support that my wife and I received thanks to being connected to the incredible couples in this community has been absolutely vital for us. We are deepening the level of our relationship in so many ways as we learn to raise our daughter consciously! They always create game-changing experiences and we’re so excited for the next level of this support with even more awesome couples to grow with."
WHAT IS THE SANCTUARY?
In this Tour you’ll get a flavor for all the resources, events, offerings, and opportunities there are to connect with the other couples in the Sanctuary. You’ll be hearing from many of our members, community leaders, and experts who are all partcipating collectively to create a safe home for us all to evolve, expand, and connect.
Eden World is built on the premise of thriving relationships and the importance of “holding” each other through the challenges of being human, what it takes to experience understanding, compassion and truth within any relationship. &npsb;
The Sanctuary is a private members club for community builders, conscious leaders, and visionaries who are all in committed relationships who care about being great at loving each other. This membership exists to serve the unique social and evolutionary needs of our forward thinking members.
The Sanctuary is a conscious community where you are hanging out with your best friends while going deep into relational technologies, personal development, communication, sexuality, (communication styles, how to have better sex) support around business and finances and more.
We curate and cultivate a special place for you to relax, feel safe to be vulnerable.
All while you are hanging out with incredible business minds, change makers, and social architects who are re-imagining the current structures that are no longer serving us in the format they are programmed to run in amazing locations that feel like the garden of Eden right here on earth.
Sanctuary gathers both online and in person throughout the year to expand our edges, our awareness and our abilities. We believe the more we grow ourselves the greater our impact will be in our tribes, our teams our communities, our companies and our families.

WHAT KINDS OF CONVERSATION ARE WE HAVING?
Here are a few examples of the topics our members are talking about each month in the Love Lounge. Come join the conversation with us!
LOVE LOUNGE SEP 2020: We heard from three special guest couples who revealed some SUPER sexy nuggets about what’s been happening with their couples council’s and their 30-day Sexploration challenge. This one is a MUST watch to activate more fun, playful and sexy in your relationship. Join in the conversation about how to introduce more of your sexual expression into your relationship.
LOVE LOUNGE AUG 2020: We’re grateful for the vulnerability & willingness to share a Taboo Topic that our “Special Guest Couple” Jon and Magick had been wrestling with during this Love Lounge. This topic was so juicy that many couples ended up staying on for nearly 40 minutes after the call ended to discuss all the ways that flogging and submissive/ dominant power dynamics have been explored in their relationships and the benefit that it has brought.
LOVE LOUNGE JUL 2020: We turned our attention to gender and sexual expression. Some of us might have a more binary relationship to gender. Others might relate to themselves as infinite beings with many dimensions that don’t quite fit comfortably into the ‘male’ or ‘female’ box. Sanctuary Members Tani Thole & Leslie Rogers, co-led this Love Lounge on how we can honor, express, and welcome all our parts recognizing how multi-dimensional we really are.
LOVE LOUNGE JUN 2020: We invited several diverse voices from our community to speak vulnerably in an interactive dialogue about how we can change the racial ecology of ourselves, our community, and our world. Listen and learn about this deeply important topic. “We want to shine a light on the power of our differences. Not to divide us, not to define us, but to awaken us, to connect us, to challenge us, and to change us.” – Kevin Jones

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OUR SANCTUARY SALONS
TAKE A TOUR OF OUR COUPLES COUNCILS
At the heart and soul of Eden is the foundational idea of a council. One of the most supportive and transformational commitments Sanctuary couples can make for their relationship (and life), is to form a Couples Council to connect with on a regular basis.
A Couples Council is a group of six people (three couples) to co-create safe and sacred space to be seen, held, supported, encouraged, mirrored and championed to explore, express and experience the greatest fulfillment of the visions and commitments that each couple holds dear.
AT ITS HIGHEST AND FULLEST, YOUR COUNCIL IS…
- A deeply supportive, consistent and safe container to lean into.
- A place for celebration, breakdowns, alchemy and evolution.
- A triad of the expanded beloveds, which at any point can be your mirrors, teachers, triggers and transformation station.
- A heartfelt commitment to your relationship and the extended coupledom.
- The ‘secret-sauce’ to quantum leaps in your personal, professional and relational evolution.
IT’S ABOUT COMMITMENT…
Eden is evolutionary, and meets you where you are. The same is true for your Council. You have at your fingertips one of the most potent and playful ways to expand yourself and your coupledom, in this smaller beloved ‘community.’ Honestly, if you are…
- In the middle of a fight
- Crabby and tired
- In the middle of eating dinner
- Just not feeling it
- Feeling depressed or introverted
- Feeling overwhelmed like you have too much else going on
- “zoomed out”
Show-up and be present with your council. Even if you have to take your council on the go, for a walk, ride or run, put your earbuds in, step into your council and be open to what might unfold.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE TOPICS COUPLES COUNCIL OFTEN SHARE…
- Supporting each other in navigating your marriage or relationship
- Goal setting
- Identifying your purpose
- Prosperity consciousness
- Wealth, money management and investments
- Triggers and patterns; identifying them, demystifying them and deprogramming them.
- Asking for help and supporting one another in receiving help.
- Sex, sexual expression and sexual self mastery
- Support with parenting and other family based relationships
- Supporting with business, marketing, finance, leadership, or networking
HOW ARE COUPLES COUNCIL’S CHOSEN?:
We encourage Couples “Double Dates” and host “Couples Mixer” events to help you get to know each other and take you through a process to help you choose your council. In addition, if you join us at Ambassador & Visionary Level our team will be helping to hand curate your council to match make you with your council. You’ll receive a guidebook on how to make your couples council great and dozens of prompts to keep the conversations deep, authentic, engaging, and fun.
TAKE A TOUR OF OUR GET SUPPORT RESOURCES
We have a wealth of resources inside the Eden community for when you need a little more personalized 1:on:1 care. We all hit crunchy spots in our relationship and yet these challenges can be seen as messagers that can uplevel our relationship into the kind of vision we have in our hearts. We also know that however we are relating now, there are always exciting ways we can continue to learn, grow, and up-level how we relate.
We want to invite you to reach for the resources instead of contract and withdraw when things get painful and at Eden we have selected a group of verified experts who have the tools to help couples navigate the ups and downs. Reaching is strength as we realize we don’t have to hold it all together….we can hold it all together and when we do we realize that often what’s in the way IS the way.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR EDEN VERIFIED EXPERTS?
TAKE A TOUR OF OUR COUNCIL OF QUEENS
Here in the Council of Queens we explore everything that’s happening in our life in the context of a mystery school. A mystery school is a place where those on a path of self-mastery come together for individual and collective evolution. We do this through profound self-inquiry, presenting and sharing our highest wisdom as an invitation to truly know ourselves.
Throughout time, women have gathered to talk about things that only women can talk about. The Sanctuary Council of Queens is a place to support the deepening of the sisterhood and our specific, women-focused needs of our evolving coupledom. Even though the details might be different, our shared experience as women/ queens brings us together in a safe and sacred way.
There is a unique alchemy that happens when women who are devoted to their partnership come together and share the edges that relationship brings up. This monthly Queen time offers a place of practice (the proverbial temple) where we gather to grow, evolve and reveal the secrets of the feminine.
WHAT’S THE VALUE / BENEFIT OF SHOWING UP?
- Claim your deepest desires in life & love
- Become more empowered to ask for your needs
- Healing our shame and shadows
- Using our voice and expressing our hearts
- Accessing our body wisdom
- Caring for our body temples
- Sharing our collective wisdom and guidance

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OUR COUNCIL OF KINGS
TAKE A TOUR OF THE COUNCIL OF INFINITE BEINGS
Eden has the Council of Queens and the Council of Kings, and now there is also the Council of Infinite Beings, for anyone who feels drawn to exploring the infinite experience of being human in the context of an expanded and more fluid paradigm around gender and sexuality.
The Council of Infinite Beings is an opportunity to put your masks on the shelf and hang out as whatever is underneath. We are operating like the Council of Queens and the Council of Kings in that this is a space for the personal journey of the individual. Your partner may be here with you, but this space isn’t about you as a partnership, rather about you as individuals.
In this space, we are not presuming anything around what’s “normal” or “true” for most or all people. If you make a statement that implies a presumption like that, we will gently and lovingly remind you to speak from your own experience, and invite you to hold expanded possibility with us.
WHAT’S AN INFINITE BEING?
One who sees edges not as limitations but as horizons; one who recognizes that their inner landscape is rich and varied terrain, and excitedly turns towards exploring the unknown.
One who craves to know their essential self unhindered by the attachment to identity.
If this is you, then join us as we begin a beautiful conversation around exploring our own gender and sexual identities. We will be looking into ways of expanding our ideas around these concepts, as well as enriching you and your coupledom to live into the core Eden principles.
Led by the undeniably edge-stretching couple of LESLIE Rogers and TANI Thole, our first meeting will set our container and promote inclusion in the Eden community, by expanding the horizons of fixed identities and to enhance evolutionary coupledom. Let’s develop space to be more fully expressed within our partnership and by extension; the community.
PRINCIPLES
- This is an inclusive space, and everyone is welcome here. All of our conversations are aimed at inclusivity, diversity and expansion, and we will always return to this as the foundation of this community.
- This council has an expanded paradigm around gender as its backdrop, just as the Queens and Kings have gender identity as part of their backdrop. But really what we are here to do is explore ourselves beyond fixed identity, and that includes any kind of identity that limits us.
- We acknowledge that we are diverse and complex Infinite Beings. We all have a multitude of aspects/creatures/parts within us. These parts don’t necessarily all have the same gender or even have gender
- There’s no presumption around your sexuality, preferences, identity, etc. within this container. We take everyone as an evolving mystery, unless you want to claim a certain label (and still we won’t hold you to that if it changes).
- We may talk about “masculine” and “feminine” as energies, but we are not holding them as fixed identities nor as being tied to biological sex. We believe that all beings contain both of these energies, and are not limited to primary affiliation with one or the other.
- We are here for connection as we stretch our edges together. We acknowledge that stretching ourselves can sometimes bring up discomfort, and that is lovingly welcomed here.
TAKE A TOUR OF OUR HEART SEAT
Our struggles often feel personal, but when we reveal them to a loving community we recognize that the true nature of our struggles is, in fact, shared. Join a group call every month where couples can signup to be on the ‘heart seat’ and get a chance to get direct, inspired, effective encouragement and support in the areas that matter most from a group of Eden Verified Experts.
During each monthly call we’ll focus on between 2 – 3 couples in a group coaching and mentoring setting who have signed up in advance to be on the ‘heart seat’.
WHO IS THIS AVAILABLE TO?
During the month you will have an opportunity in our Sanctuary Online members area to signup for a Heart Seat.
- For Ambassadors & Visionary level members
- Once a month and recordings are always available in the members portal
- Ongoing discussions in the Sanctuary Online Members area

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OUR VIRTUAL EVENTS
LIVE COUPLES RETREATS
Welcome to The Intersection of Love, Business & Life Magical Mastermind Retreat for Entrepreneurial Couples Evolving Partnership Consciousness
Eden World Retreats are a highly curated, private retreat with a festival flair for visionary couples who are ready to expand yourself, your relationship, your love and your bottom line in a relaxed, playful, enriching and magical setting.
It is THE meeting place for couples who are making a difference in the world….from the boardroom to the bedroom – a Playground for Visionary Couples and a garden for couples who lead and love through service.
Our couples retreats are a sanctuary to evolve your relationship (and your bottom line) in a fun, playful, sexy environment with other visionary couples.
It is an experience of evolutionary partnership in action with a supportive community where we peel back the curtain of highly evolved relationships and discover how high performing entrepreneurial couples make it work, and what they do when it doesn’t.
Surrender into a sanctuary to revitalize your relationship, while, connecting to other couples who love and lead in the same way you are of service in the world.
Rise with us and return to a paradise, once lost, at Eden World.
Imagine experiencing…
- Open, honest and vulnerable dialogues about things each of us go through as couples allowing you to see that you are not alone and together find solutions that empower the whole.
- The feeling of being held by the arms (proverbial or literally) of other awakened men and women who see you, get you and can offer you listening and reflections that you simply can’t (or won’t) hear from your partner.
- Dedicated time to focus on your relationship with other couples doing the same thing in a sacred container that allows you to feel free, heard, seen and fully expressed.
- Deep dialogues with other couples who’ve “been there, done that” and learning from each others expertise, knowledge and life lessons.
- Getting to the bottom of something that’s been a “core wound” in your relationship and finally healing it because you have a new perspective and others to support you in seeing it differently.
- A super, top secret, confidential space where you will feel safe to let it all hang out without it affecting your public persona.
- A safe place to fully express yourself and your affections with your partner and have it be celebrated and encouraged instead hindered by societal norms and culture.
- Lots of intimacy, restfulness, connection and more.
- New friends & business connections made in the hot tub or lounges during in the down time /in between sessions (lots and lots of free time).
- Being nourished and served in the same way that you nourish and serve others.
ARE WE DOING ANY LIVE RETREATS & EVENTS SOON?
In prior years the Eden community would come together 2-3 times a year during live 4-Day Destination Retreats and at various in person gatherings throughout the year. Based on the pandemic we’ve temporarily paused our live retreats, masterminds, and in person events until we know that we can congregate safely.

V. HONOR & INTEGRITY
VI. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
VII. FULL SOVEREIGN EXPRESSION

XI. ALL NEEDS MET
XII. WE HOLD IT, TOGETHER
I. RELATIONSHIP IS OUR NORTH STAR
We hold with reverence that each person’s romantic partnership is a spiritual practice. Everything we explore revolves around the idea that in the context of committed partnership, we are more likely to discover even greater levels of freedom for our sovereign expression than what we would find through personal exploration alone.
We regard partnership as the perfect mirror for our present level of consciousness and our greatest teacher for the optimal path forward. We live in harmony with what serves that partnership, as we trust that it points us towards what is in the greatest service to ourselves, to the community and to the world.
In Eden, we search for the commonality with each other rather than exploit our differences, and use that as a reminder to awaken to a higher consciousness. When we hold this perspective, we can feel the boundary lines dissolve between us and our beloveds, between our shadow and our light, and between that which we revere and that which we detest. If we find ourselves in opposition, we remember to take a moment to see the complimentary and symbiotic nature within ourselves and our Beloved. We are devoted to loving one another with the fullness of our hearts.
In other words:
It is through the container of relationship that we see ourselves more completely and become the most actualized version of ourselves. We take being in relationship seriously.
II. WE ARE EACH OTHER’S BELOVED
We celebrate love. We hold each other’s love and relationship as sacred. Each member of our community is a stand for you, for your beloved and for the future selves that you can only be through dedicated commitment to each other. We are unshakable in our faith in the prosperous future of each relationship. We are ever expanding the love, care and devotion we experience with our beloveds to include our community and in turn humanity. We treat each other with the same reverence and respect that we hold for our beloveds.
In Eden, we practice knowing and loving ourselves more fully, so we can be ourselves more completely. This includes the parts that have been hidden, denied, rejected or judged. We are interconnected, and with each other as our mirrors, we can master loving ourselves and each other more completely, and create a world that works for the highest good of all.
In other words:
We extend our respect, honor and brotherly or sisterly love to everyone in Eden, even when it is challenging. When each of us practices caring for each other as beloveds, sometimes shift comes up, just like it does with your partner. Remember we are all here for the same thing. Breathe and use these principles to guide you.
III. ALL THE WAY THROUGH
When we take things “all the way through” it means that we no longer have a judgement or trigger with someone or something that was in conflict for us. It means that we each do “the work” to clear our own hearts and minds of uncompleted thoughts, unresolved interactions, character assessments and interpretations of negative intent. When we are unable to do this alone, we take the initiative to get the support from others to do so.
We meet challenges with curiosity and engage in courageous conversations that lead to the healing, greater freedom, and deeper connection we all desire most, whatever it takes.
In Eden, we do our best to not push things under the rug or hold judgments that weigh on our hearts. This principle invites us all to have the conversations that get through the layers and create an even deeper connection and understanding because we've gone all the way through.
In other words:
Don’t leave things unresolved. Clean it up as we go.
IV. WHAT’S IN THE WAY IS THE WAY
We believe every problem contains the seed of its own solution and the impulse of evolution. Anything we perceive as an obstacle is an opportunity for our own development and emotional maturation. We trust that all of life is conspiring for our highest good and are grateful for the obstacles that we may initially perceive as in our way, because they point to a more noble path, giving rise to new opportunities, rewards and evolutionary ways of seeing and being.
In Eden, what looks like a problem is actually the solution. We work to show up for each other with open, undefended hearts, available for feedback and other perspectives, knowing that we all bring something of value. Seeking to find the truth in the middle, the highest possibility for all, we recognize that if something is triggered, it is gold and we explore it to discover the intrinsic value of our relational field of reflections, awareness and possibilities for growth.
In other words:
What seems like a mishap is actually transformational gold in disguise. Remember, a lotus flower blooms from the deepest and thickest mud.
V. HONOR & INTEGRITY
We believe the seeds of Eden are planted in the soil of our soul and we must live with integrity for them to blossom forth into our lives. By endeavoring to align with our deepest truth, be impeccable with our words -- and keep our word -- we develop the congruent character that allows life to thrive in and around us. We are sincere with the agreements and promises we make and communicate honestly when we are unable to fulfill those commitments. We honor the absent and go directly to the source of any miscommunication or upset. We treat others with reverence and respect, as we would have them treat us.
In Eden, we do our best to live in integrity in all we do. We avoid triangulation or gossip and look to the principles as a way to honor one another and clear any obstacles in the way of a loving and peaceful connection.
In other words:
Be Cool. Don’t be a hypocrite and say one thing then do another. Don’t be gossiping or shit talking people. Do your best to be straight up with one another.
VI. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
We hold the paradox of individual and shared responsibility. We cast ourselves as the author of our own experience, responsible for our thoughts, actions and circumstances.
Although we grant that same respect to others, we also hold ourselves accountable to our impact on their experience, regardless of their sensitivities or interpretations. We clean up our own messes yet, our attitude of personal responsibility does not end there. We also hold ourselves responsible for our ongoing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development so that we learn from our mistakes.
In Eden, we are the creator of our own reality. No person or condition has the power to make us think, feel or do anything that we don’t consent to – therefore we take 100% responsibility for our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, feelings and actions.
In other words:
Keep your shit tight.
VII. FULL SOVEREIGN EXPRESSION
It is a potent expression of divine love to be fully expressed as an individual. Every person plays a necessary role in integrating what is needed to create a world that works for everyone. We also believe that it is courageous to be fully expressed and even though this can be messy and create great contrast, it is where our differences meet that our greatest opportunities for healing, growth and evolution exist.
In Eden, we strive to live, speak and embody our most authentic self. Enriched by our differences, we celebrate the whole range of the human experience. We understand that some expressions may be soft while others are bold and we welcome both and everything in between.
In other words:
Let your freak flag fly and watch others’ heads when you are spinning your flag around.
VIII. PRESENT AWARENESS
We hold presence as the starting place from which to love and live. We recognize that being present is a prerequisite for seeing and meeting our beloveds. Because life is ever-evolving, we release the past and what the future may hold as we enter this moment, rediscovering what’s new with ourselves, our partner and the world. With present awareness, healing of separation and ultimate communion are possible.
In Eden, we value the flow and possibility that lies within each moment as we believe this reveals our true “current-see.” Each moment is its own experience with emerging miracles held within it.
In other words:
Be here now.
IX. ASSUME THE BEST
We aim to keep our relationships free of judgement, blame, contractions and resistance. We acknowledge that we can never know Truth without understanding others. We strive to know the Truth as the multidimensional perspective that includes all and excludes nothing. We hold that giving others the experience of being understood is often a prerequisite for being understood ourselves. We engender trust that each person is doing their best regardless of our perceptions.
In Eden, we are committed to creating a culture of humility and curiosity around our beliefs and stories about our Beloved and all of our Beloveds in Eden – allowing us to remain open to the diversity of perspectives that gives rise to the deeper understanding – the place in the middle that serves the highest good of all. This means that we examine and take responsibility for the “stories we make-up” and remain open to understanding and hearing ALL perspectives in service to the highest truth.
In other words:
Don’t make up stories about other people, assume the best and seek to understand. If you are going to make up stories… make up really amazing ones that paint others in a positive light. Go to the source with curiosity and share with an open heart.
X. GIVING FREQUENCY
When we are in the spirit of generosity it feeds the part of our soul that longs to be connected and feel supported. As an expression of valuing self and others we share what we have (our gifts) in order to uplift one another. Through this generosity bonds are created and weave together the fabric of a community that transcends self-interest. It is in these bonds that we enjoy true safety, security and certainty. The more we cherish our community, as a way of holding the gifts we offer, the more we cultivate a community in which everyone thrives.
By being of service to others we can experience ourselves as having a surplus of love, energy, time and resources and align with a purpose greater than ourselves. We choose to give to this community because we are inspired by its purpose: Love.
In Eden, we share from our abundance recognizing that we are all bearers of great resources. Some of us have valuable skills and services we can offer, some have finances and other acquisitions to share. We give unconditionally and wholeheartedly, trusting and knowing that we are provided for, as individuals and as a group.
In other words:
The more we give to the community, the more we are supported and all thrive. We give freely of our time, treasure and talent. “We-conomics vs. Me-conomics”
XI. ALL NEEDS MET
All human beings have needs. Some go unexpressed and some are loud and clear. At times those needs may feel in conflict with someone else's needs, yet when we commit to seek ways to meet all needs, we illuminate a path towards creating something greater than what we originally thought possible.
As a practice we strive to distinguish our needs from our preferences, desires and self-protection and are committed to exploring any friction or perceived “problem” with an open heart and mind. This process activates an emergent field of opportunity that allows us to discover and reveal the higher needs within every situation.
In Eden, we hold sacred our faith that all needs can be met and that all of our decisions and actions can be made to serve the whole. We are unsatisfied with any conditions that leave any person’s needs unmet.
In other words:
Help a buddy out and do what you can to support one another, even when you would rather not.
XII. WE HOLD IT, TOGETHER
The way we love is guided by the belief that the individual is most efficiently healed in partnership. The way we hold community is guided by the belief that the partnership is most efficiently healed in community. Rooted in our sovereignty, we freely choose to love, serve and support each other, expanding the freedom, capacity and opportunities available to all of us.
Our struggles often feel personal, but when we reveal them to a loving community we recognize that the true nature of our struggles is, in fact, shared. We invest in each other’s development and emotional maturation, and in doing so we find ourselves liberated from the same emotional and cultural inheritance of patterned thinking and stored trauma.
In Eden, when we have the courage to be vulnerable with each other and the generosity to hold each other tenderly in that vulnerability, we open ourselves up to a more expansive experience of love. Instead of trying to “hold it together” we hold it... together.
In other words:
Being a lone ranger is a thing of the past. We are a tribe people and, as a tribe, we support each other and build each other up. I got me, you got you… we got we!
4 PILLARS OF RELATIONSHIP
We believe that there are four “Key Pillars” to a healthy & happy relationship.
- Sovereignty - How we are in our connection to ourselves.
- Unity - How we are within our partnerships.
- Community - How we are within our relationships with our community.
- Humanity - How we are within our relationships with our world.
From a sovereign individual comes a more powerful partnership (sovereign unity) which then can be more powerful and active to give to and be held in community.
Who’s right for this membership?
Our membership is perfect for thriving, committed, mission driven couples who have been together for a minimum of one year and are looking to expand their network, gain insights and tools and support from peers while enjoying a safe, sacred and confidential place that holds and empowers your relationship.
Is the membership for couples only?
Yes. as of now, Eden Sanctuary is solely focused on partnership and evolving our relationships. Our requiremet is that couples be in a committed relationship for at least 1 year before joining.
We are already experts, leaders and teachers in the relationship space, how will this serve me?
Eden was built for leaders like you- who spend a lot of their life “holding and supporting others.” Eden is a place where you get to be held by other awesome couples and peers who have wisdom to share.
And, specifically for relationship coaches and experts, Eden is a place where your gifts get to shine.
Not only will your relationship be supported in new ways, but as an expert and a member at Ambassador level or above, you will get to showcase your gifts to the membership by having access to teaching and offering your tools and expertise in Eden.
But don’t take our word for it, here is what Jonatha Hudson, a relationship and sex expert has to say about how Eden has helped him and his wife…
“We don’t need Eden for our relationship. We don’t need Eden for communication We don’t need Eden for our sex life. We’ve got all that. AND….we have still learned some fun stuff. We desire Eden for the community. For friends. REAL friends. The ones that we would do anything for. And to spread couples love – which I think is one of the most powerful energies we can spread on this planet. We desire Eden for the puzzle pieces of an amazing life experience. We are but one corner of the puzzle. So many areas we don’t know and want to. There are so many couples here that have such wisdom and knowledge. And we are puzzle pieces for each other. We desire Eden to grow our relationship. To be held. To be wanted. To be challenged. To be called out. And to be called up. In love. We got stale in our thinking we had it all figured out. Stale and very lonely at the top. Coming back down the mountain into the arms of this beautiful community has brought tears to my eyes more than once.”
I’m not sure what support I need, how would I know if this is right for me?
Eden is right for those who are desiring more community and more places to explore, soften and expand your edges around love, partnership and relationship. You may not know what support you need, but being human and being 100% committed to another human being can bring up challenges that Eden World offers collective wisdom and tools to help you navigate.
Simply by engaging in conversations and experiences with other evolutionary couples, it becomes clear that there are growth edges and it will become clear what wants to be supported and held once you begin to see what others are going through and talking about.
We are in a non-monogamous relationship, is this membership right for us?
Eden World is for committed couples but couples in our community have many ranges to their level of agreements from monogamous to poly and everything in between. However, you must be in a committed partnership of one year or more to join Eden Sanctuary (at Ambassador level or above), and while you and your committed partner are in Eden experiences, the invitation us to focus on expanding the relationship with the beloved (or beloveds) you are in that committed partnership with. (Meaning… we are not “playing with others” in Eden, as there are plenty of places to do that in the world, and that is not what Eden is about.)
I’m not really into “memberships.” I’ve never been a “group” person. I’m a leader, not a joiner.
We invite and challenge you to have a double or triple zoom date with any Eden World couple and let us know how you feel after that. If you feel held, supported, inspired and engaged in any way, then Eden Sanctuary might be right for you.
Also- Eden is a community filled with leaders and introverts. We do our best to cater to every need as best as we can, and allow for couples to find a level of interaction and connection that works for them.
We have kids, is this community kid friendly?
While Eden World is an adult focused community, we are definitely supportive of parents with kids and have a whole community of parents who have created a mini-community within Eden to serve the needs of couples with children and the children themselves.
We are in a same sex relationship, is this membership right for us?
Eden is for any type of committed partnership and we welcome same sex couples with open arms. While our membership is still primarily heteronormative, we have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to serve same sex couples and have many things in place to support you, while also being fully open to ideas and feedback that your experience in our community may bring to our attention.
Our relationship is in trouble and needs support, is this the right place for us?
Unfortunately, we are not here to save marriages or relationships. That’s what therapy and coaching is for. While we provide many tools and support for troubled times, our membership is geared for thriving partnerships and we are not in a position nor have the resources to support troubled relationships. But we can recommend many resources from our community to support you to get yourself and your relationship to a more peaceful place.
Will this work if I’m outside of North America?
Yes! All of our membership offerings are virtual and all calls are recorded and made available to the membership for viewing at your convenience.
If I don’t join now, when will the membership open next?
Since Eden Sanctuary is an ongoing membership, you can join at any time. Keep in mind that you may not be able to join a Couples Council right away if we do not have other couples to pair you with.
Our biggest wave of new members happens after each of our virtual events, and when we can gather again, in-person live events.
What happens after I join?
Once you become a Sanctuary member, you will be contacted by our Eden World Concierge to welcome you as well as have an opportunity to go through a comprehensive “Sanctuary Orientation” process.

I’m busy, how much time will the Membership take? How much time do I need to commit?
Most of our members own businesses, have families and other big time commitments. While we offer a wide range of calls and community gatherings, you can attend as much or as little of these offerings as you’d like.. There is no set time commitment other than you Couples Councils, who usually meet one or twice a month at a minimum.

In addition if you are an Ambassador level or above each month we will be holding a Heart Seat call which you can signup for where you can get group coaching from our experts.
If you are having ongoing issues in your relationship and want to get support before it becomes critical, we have Eden Verified Experts who are therapists, counselors and relationship coaches who can do 1 complimentary exploratory session with you where you can get support and find out more about their paid services and packages should you need it.
If it is a critical issue and you or your beloved are considering uncoupling, the same group of experts is here to make sure this is a final decision or help you reconcile. If you are choosing uncoupling, we have an uncoupling therapist who is committed to supporting you and your beloved through the process. You also are able to choose to remain in the Sanctuary community for support and love during this time.
And yes, if you need this kind of extra support beyond an initial support session, there will be an extra investment needed and you will work that out directly with the support practitioner.
Are there people in my area who are part of the membership?
It depends on where you live but yes, we have couples from all over the country. Many are able to join councils with couples who live nearby and able to meet in person as well. We are looking forward to growing our Eden Local communities and encouraging more virtual and in person gatherings as safety permits.
Do you offer live events and retreats? When are they happening? Where do they happen?
While we do offer live events and retreats, at this time of global pandemic concern and social distancing regulations, we are unable to hold them in person. However, they are planned out and ready to go the minute we can set a new date and secure a venue! Typically these in person gatherings and retreats happen in California.
What if I want to join but my partner isn’t interested?
While we would love to be able to support everyone, we have found it is very difficult to participate as a solo part of a couple. Much of our work and gatherings are focused on your connection and relationship to your beloved and to other couples in the community.
If they are unsure, we can arrange a double date with someone in our community or on the Eden World Leadership team to explore with you both if there is a way we can support you to get on the same page with your desire to be a part of this community.
Ultimately, if they decide Eden is not for them at this time, we won’t be able to accept only one person of the coupledom.
How much does it cost?
Our Steward level is $222 per year, our Ambassador level is $1111 per year and Visionary level is $3333 per year. You can also choose a subscription / payment plan for Steward and Ambassador levels.
Do you offer scholarships?
We do and that is by application only. Reach out to support@edenworld.org to inquire about how to apply. We offer scholarships to those who are both committed to be full participants in our community and are also in financial need. Occasionally there are work trade opportunities as well.

Please visit our website at https://edenisrising.com/sanctuary-cancellation-refund-privacy-policy/ for our full refund and cancellation policy.
What kind of payments do you accept?
We accept payments through our Stripe merchant account with all major credit cards.
Can I get a refund if I find The Membership is not a fit for me? How long is your refund period?
Check it out for 30 days and if you find it’s not right for you, you can cancel your membership by reaching out to us via email at support@edenworld.org. If after the 30 days, you decide to stay, we require a one year commitment to your membership.
Is there a discount if I pay for the year vs monthly?
There is a discount of $42 to pay in full for a year for Stewards, $221 discount for Ambassadors when you pay in full for a year. Visionaries is by application only and requires that you pay in full for your membership dues.

WELCOME TO EDEN
Where your relationship lives free.
Where your love is celebrated and encouraged.
Where the mess and the success that comes along with partnership are shared openly with other beloveds on a similar path.
A place where we can all learn and grow from each other as a beloved community of committed partners.
We do our best and stay classy.
Yet we are not afraid to have fun.
We make mistakes and we learn from them.
We are willing to grow, be vulnerable and…
We cherish our beloveds and act with integrity.
We are committed to supporting each other as individuals, as couples and as community.
Come inside, take a load off… you are home.
Welcome to Eden World.
The old story and old way of being in relationship is to do it alone and prove one’s strength and commitment to stand strong on one’s own. This story is a lie and no longer serves the higher good. Eden opens up a new perspective where the braver, stronger and more confident choice is to be vulnerable and take responsibility for the fact that we don’t have it all figured out. And, not only do we not have it all figured out, but we don’t have to do that all alone in our own little silos. We have a community of like-minded, open-hearted, lovings couples and souls who are willing to hold each other in the great, the shit, and everything in between so that we rise up together in loving community. We are not alone anymore. Now, in Eden, we can stand together.
WHAT IS EDEN?
Relationship sits at the center of human creation. How we are in relationship determines how we are as a society. When relationships thrive, humanity prospers.
Eden offers a sanctuary, a home to practice being in sacred union with ourselves, our beloved and each other. Eden includes everyone, all genders included, single, couples, old and young – is built on the foundation of the Coupledom (the master archetypes of the King and Queen, Mother and Father, or Masculine and Feminine principles in union. That’s the unique proposition of Eden. It is not a world merely built on the rugged individual or the lone pioneer, although it includes all of that, as the full sovereignty of the individual is essential – for Eden to rise again, it must be a world built on sacred partnership).
Eden is a safe container to lean in to being who we really are, wherever we are, and receive the honest feedback and support – without judgment – so we can be more open and expressed in the relationship (to become the best versions of ourselves individually, in partnership, and in the world). We can be more open than we can w/out community.
It starts with the Sovereign individual. Then it becomes the sacred union of partnership. This is supported and upleveled by a Council (a group of couples lifting each other and practicing community in the micro). Then when those come together, it becomes the beloved community – an ecosystem of life long support.
Our Collective Journey: The Pillars of Sovereignty, Unity, & Community
- Sovereignty (Supporting Our Individuality): At Eden we start with a foundation that supports our presence, our full self expression, our individual needs, and an empowered sense of personality responsibility. From here we all support each other in building the bedrock to access the best versions of ourselves. Eden is a place that welcomes your sovereign expression in all its forms and supports you in showing up more powerfully in your relationships, your community, and our world.
- Unity (Your Relationship): As we enter our relationship from our full sovereignty at Eden we learn from our partners and from each other’s relationships what it takes to co-create a relationship container that serves the highest expression of both partners. At Eden we have come to realize that our relationship is our north star and holds the key to our evolution and we notice that “what is in the way, is the way” as we are encouraged here to lean in to love, lean in to our devotion to one another, lean in to assuming the best of those around us as we commit to see things all the way through.
- Community (Your Support System): Next as we bring our committed partnership into a community container we realize that we can most easily heal ourselves in the context of our relationship and we can most easily heal our relationship in the context of a loving supportive community. Having an ecosystem of support of other conscious couples in the give frequency allows us to ask for what we were afraid to ask for and, because we don’t have to hold our beloveds (or ourselves) alone, we experience getting all needs met as we hold it all together. At Eden we realize the power of having an ecosystem of support that holds our relationship as sacred and treats each other as we treat our beloveds to help us all fulfill our larger purpose of service in the world – individually and as a couple.
The Promise Of Eden
Eden reawakens couples to what they really are as a couple, and what’s really available, when you use the vehicle of coupledom for the full evolutionary potential that it holds — it is the most powerful vehicle for self-actualization and fulfillment and creating a world that works for the highest good of everyone. And Eden is THE model/place where couples (and the individuals within them) can finally realize this full potential.
An environment where all needs, fears, desires can be communicated and received without judgement, so we can get to what our true needs are – and have them met….more here.

PROFOUND INSIGHTS
You’ll receive profound insights, expanding frameworks and will learn something new about your relationship edges every month sharing tools and learning from each other’s expertise, knowledge and life lessons.
VULNERABILITY & SAFETY
We create a safe container and learn how to hold space for each other so it’s safe to share what’s going on, not have to ‘hold it ALL together’ as we realize that collectively ‘we can hold it all TOGETHER’ and let yourself be seen and held in a way that is uniquely Eden. You’ll have the feeling that it is safer to say something that you aren’t sure you can say but know you can share it here.
DEEP JUICY & CONNECTED CONVERSATIONS
There is a sense of a really deep juicy couple to couple connection and community conversation. The Eden ethos and ways we encourage couples to interact in the Sanctuary are deeper and ‘go the whole way through’, so they have a special experience that is unique to Eden. We create the space to ‘not step over’ things and keep supporting couples and individuals to engage in deeper conversations, exploring the various layers
EMPOWERING YOUR SOVEREIGNTY
There is care to your individual sovereignty and each individual is held and also your relationship. We stand for each of you and for your relationship. It’s safe to share and we hold the three of you sacred – each individual and the couple.
CELEBRATING YOUR RELATIONSHIP
This is where your love is upheld as sacred. Every member of the Eden community stands for your relationship and your life success like no other. You have a group of people that are on your team to celebrate your relationship.
FUN
This is a place to have fun with other couples, to be in the delight and enjoyment. You’ll laugh, you’ll enjoy date nights with your beloved sparked by what’s happening in the Sanctuary, you’ll see art and music… a feast for your soul.
WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING?
What Members Are Saying...
“Eden helps push me more in my purpose and has helped me embrace my beloved in ways that I would not have been able to do on my own.”
“It was so clear that this community is a place for healing and growing in relationship. We got to live, breathe, and feel what that means in Reimagine, not just talk about it. The container was the full spectrum: sexy and fun, deep and vulnerable. The connection leaders, speakers, facilitators all lived the principles and through that we got enough of a taste of what’s possible that it was impossible to say no. Saying YES was saying YES to big, bold love.”
““We said yes so that we’d have a place, reserved in time, to make sure we focus on each other and our relationship. It’s just to easy to let busy lives keep putting other things first and we knew we needed support to keep putting our growth, love and development first!”
“I am so happy to find a group of intelligent, conscious couples where it’s all about commitment, awakening and growing. I’m like, ‘Where have these people been?’ We’ve been seeking this for a long time. I didn’t know they existed! Since the weekend event we’ve had a LOT less conflict because of being held in a container & not feeing alone. It feels so grounding.It feels amazing and safe to know that the core of this group is commitment.”
“We just want to say how amazing this group of couples is and how deeply helpful and healing it is to have you conscious couples holding us both. As well as being a stand for our highest good individually and collectively. It feels like a rare privilege and I imagine a rare experience for most couples. It would be revolutionary for other couples to have this, like game-changing for relationships. We are so, so grateful for what you have created here. Love you.”
“What is Eden for me? It's the next thing. It's the now thing. Right now. It's happening now. And whenever I get lost, I come right back to it and it expands me more to be the best I have ever been.”
“It’s a no brainer. We had a couples counselor holding us but felt like she was no longer helping us uplevel. Being held in a community of couples feels like that next container for us.”
“The amazing people that have come into our lives because of Eden, is just mind blowing"
“It was a natural HEAVEN YES for us. Something We’d be calling in. High level conscious couples. Amazing activities and structure. Consistency for the longevity of our commitment and impact together as a couple. Felt so right!”
"As new parents, the support that my wife and I received thanks to being connected to the incredible couples in this community has been absolutely vital for us. We are deepening the level of our relationship in so many ways as we learn to raise our daughter consciously! They always create game-changing experiences and we’re so excited for the next level of this support with even more awesome couples to grow with."
WHAT IS THE SANCTUARY?
In this Tour you’ll get a flavor for all the resources, events, offerings, and opportunities there are to connect with the other couples in the Sanctuary. You’ll be hearing from many of our members, community leaders, and experts who are all partcipating collectively to create a safe home for us all to evolve, expand, and connect.
Eden World is built on the premise of thriving relationships and the importance of “holding” each other through the challenges of being human, what it takes to experience understanding, compassion and truth within any relationship. &npsb;
The Sanctuary is a private members club for community builders, conscious leaders, and visionaries who are all in committed relationships who care about being great at loving each other. This membership exists to serve the unique social and evolutionary needs of our forward thinking members.
The Sanctuary is a conscious community where you are hanging out with your best friends while going deep into relational technologies, personal development, communication, sexuality, (communication styles, how to have better sex) support around business and finances and more.
We curate and cultivate a special place for you to relax, feel safe to be vulnerable.
All while you are hanging out with incredible business minds, change makers, and social architects who are re-imagining the current structures that are no longer serving us in the format they are programmed to run in amazing locations that feel like the garden of Eden right here on earth.
Sanctuary gathers both online and in person throughout the year to expand our edges, our awareness and our abilities. We believe the more we grow ourselves the greater our impact will be in our tribes, our teams our communities, our companies and our families.
The Sanctuary is…
- An inclusive private membership club of visionary couples committed to creating positive impact through love.
- A place to share meaningful, romantic and fun experiences they can do as a couple

WHAT KINDS OF CONVERSATION ARE WE HAVING?
Here are a few examples of the topics our members are talking about each month in the Love Lounge. Come join the conversation with us!
LOVE LOUNGE SEP 2020: We heard from three special guest couples who revealed some SUPER sexy nuggets about what’s been happening with their couples council’s and their 30-day Sexploration challenge. This one is a MUST watch to activate more fun, playful and sexy in your relationship. Join in the conversation about how to introduce more of your sexual expression into your relationship.
LOVE LOUNGE AUG 2020: We’re grateful for the vulnerability & willingness to share a Taboo Topic that our “Special Guest Couple” Jon and Magick had been wrestling with during this Love Lounge. This topic was so juicy that many couples ended up staying on for nearly 40 minutes after the call ended to discuss all the ways that flogging and submissive/ dominant power dynamics have been explored in their relationships and the benefit that it has brought.
LOVE LOUNGE JUL 2020: We turned our attention to gender and sexual expression. Some of us might have a more binary relationship to gender. Others might relate to themselves as infinite beings with many dimensions that don’t quite fit comfortably into the ‘male’ or ‘female’ box. Sanctuary Members Tani Thole & Leslie Rogers, co-led this Love Lounge on how we can honor, express, and welcome all our parts recognizing how multi-dimensional we really are.
LOVE LOUNGE JUN 2020: We invited several diverse voices from our community to speak vulnerably in an interactive dialogue about how we can change the racial ecology of ourselves, our community, and our world. Listen and learn about this deeply important topic. “We want to shine a light on the power of our differences. Not to divide us, not to define us, but to awaken us, to connect us, to challenge us, and to change us.” – Kevin Jones

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OUR SANCTUARY SALONS
COUPLES COUNCIL
At the heart and soul of Eden is the foundational idea of a council. One of the most supportive and transformational commitments Sanctuary couples can make for their relationship (and life), is to form a Couples Council to connect with on a regular basis.
A Couples Council is a group of six people (three couples) to co-create safe and sacred space to be seen, held, supported, encouraged, mirrored and championed to explore, express and experience the greatest fulfillment of the visions and commitments that each couple holds dear.
AT ITS HIGHEST AND FULLEST, YOUR COUNCIL IS…
- A deeply supportive, consistent and safe container to lean into.
- A place for celebration, breakdowns, alchemy and evolution.
- A triad of the expanded beloveds, which at any point can be your mirrors, teachers, triggers and transformation station.
- A heartfelt commitment to your relationship and the extended coupledom.
- The ‘secret-sauce’ to quantum leaps in your personal, professional and relational evolution.
IT’S ABOUT COMMITMENT…
Eden is evolutionary, and meets you where you are. The same is true for your Council. You have at your fingertips one of the most potent and playful ways to expand yourself and your coupledom, in this smaller beloved ‘community.’ Honestly, if you are…
- In the middle of a fight
- Crabby and tired
- In the middle of eating dinner
- Just not feeling it
- Feeling depressed or introverted
- Feeling overwhelmed like you have too much else going on
- “zoomed out”
Show-up and be present with your council. Even if you have to take your council on the go, for a walk, ride or run, put your earbuds in, step into your council and be open to what might unfold.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE TOPICS COUPLES COUNCIL OFTEN SHARE…
- Supporting each other in navigating your marriage or relationship
- Goal setting
- Identifying your purpose
- Prosperity consciousness
- Wealth, money management and investments
- Triggers and patterns; identifying them, demystifying them and deprogramming them.
- Asking for help and supporting one another in receiving help.
- Sex, sexual expression and sexual self mastery
- Support with parenting and other family based relationships
- Supporting with business, marketing, finance, leadership, or networking
HOW ARE COUPLES COUNCIL’S CHOSEN?
We encourage Couples “Double Dates” and host “Couples Mixer” events to help you get to know each other and take you through a process to help you choose your council. In addition, if you join us at Ambassador & Visionary Level our team will be helping to hand curate your council to match make you with your council. You’ll receive a guidebook on how to make your couples council great and dozens of prompts to keep the conversations deep, authentic, engaging, and fun.
GET EXPERT SUPPORT
We have a wealth of resources inside the Eden community for when you need a little more personalized 1:on:1 care. We all hit crunchy spots in our relationship and yet these challenges can be seen as messagers that can uplevel our relationship into the kind of vision we have in our hearts. We also know that however we are relating now, there are always exciting ways we can continue to learn, grow, and up-level how we relate.
We want to invite you to reach for the resources instead of contract and withdraw when things get painful and at Eden we have selected a group of verified experts who have the tools to help couples navigate the ups and downs.

Here in the Council of Queens we explore everything that’s happening in our life in the context of a mystery school. A mystery school is a place where those on a path of self-mastery come together for individual and collective evolution. We do this through profound self-inquiry, presenting and sharing our highest wisdom as an invitation to truly know ourselves.
Throughout time, women have gathered to talk about things that only women can talk about. The Sanctuary Council of Queens is a place to support the deepening of the sisterhood and our specific, women-focused needs of our evolving coupledom. Even though the details might be different, our shared experience as women/ queens brings us together in a safe and sacred way.
There is a unique alchemy that happens when women who are devoted to their partnership come together and share the edges that relationship brings up. This monthly Queen time offers a place of practice (the proverbial temple) where we gather to grow, evolve and reveal the secrets of the feminine.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OUR COUNCIL OF KINGS
COUNCIL OF INFINITE BEINGS
Eden has the Council of Queens and the Council of Kings, and now there is also the Council of Infinite Beings, for anyone who feels drawn to exploring the infinite experience of being human in the context of an expanded and more fluid paradigm around gender and sexuality.
The Council of Infinite Beings is an opportunity to put your masks on the shelf and hang out as whatever is underneath. We are operating like the Council of Queens and the Council of Kings in that this is a space for the personal journey of the individual. Your partner may be here with you, but this space isn’t about you as a partnership, rather about you as individuals.
In this space, we are not presuming anything around what’s “normal” or “true” for most or all people. If you make a statement that implies a presumption like that, we will gently and lovingly remind you to speak from your own experience, and invite you to hold expanded possibility with us.
WHAT’S AN INFINITE BEING?
One who sees edges not as limitations but as horizons; one who recognizes that their inner landscape is rich and varied terrain, and excitedly turns towards exploring the unknown.
One who craves to know their essential self unhindered by the attachment to identity.
If this is you, then join us as we begin a beautiful conversation around exploring our own gender and sexual identities. We will be looking into ways of expanding our ideas around these concepts, as well as enriching you and your coupledom to live into the core Eden principles.
Led by the undeniably edge-stretching couple of LESLIE Rogers and TANI Thole, our first meeting will set our container and promote inclusion in the Eden community, by expanding the horizons of fixed identities and to enhance evolutionary coupledom. Let’s develop space to be more fully expressed within our partnership and by extension; the community.
PRINCIPLES
- This is an inclusive space, and everyone is welcome here. All of our conversations are aimed at inclusivity, diversity and expansion, and we will always return to this as the foundation of this community.
- This council has an expanded paradigm around gender as its backdrop, just as the Queens and Kings have gender identity as part of their backdrop. But really what we are here to do is explore ourselves beyond fixed identity, and that includes any kind of identity that limits us.
- We acknowledge that we are diverse and complex Infinite Beings. We all have a multitude of aspects/creatures/parts within us. These parts don’t necessarily all have the same gender or even have gender
- There’s no presumption around your sexuality, preferences, identity, etc. within this container. We take everyone as an evolving mystery, unless you want to claim a certain label (and still we won’t hold you to that if it changes).
- We may talk about “masculine” and “feminine” as energies, but we are not holding them as fixed identities nor as being tied to biological sex. We believe that all beings contain both of these energies, and are not limited to primary affiliation with one or the other.
- We are here for connection as we stretch our edges together. We acknowledge that stretching ourselves can sometimes bring up discomfort, and that is lovingly welcomed here.
HEART SEATS
Our struggles often feel personal, but when we reveal them to a loving community we recognize that the true nature of our struggles is, in fact, shared. Join a group call every month where couples can signup to be on the ‘heart seat’ and get a chance to get direct, inspired, effective encouragement and support in the areas that matter most from a group of Eden Verified Experts.
During each monthly call we’ll focus on between 2 – 3 couples in a group coaching and mentoring setting who have signed up in advance to be on the ‘heart seat’.
WHO IS THIS AVAILABLE TO?
During the month you will have an opportunity in our Sanctuary Online members area to signup for a Heart Seat.
- For Ambassadors & Visionary level members
- Once a month and recordings are always available in the members portal
- Ongoing discussions in the Sanctuary Online Members area

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OUR VIRTUAL EVENTS
EDEN LIVE COUPLES RETREATS
Welcome to The Intersection of Love, Business & Life Magical Mastermind Retreat for Entrepreneurial Couples Evolving Partnership Consciousness
Eden World Retreats are a highly curated, private retreat with a festival flair for visionary couples who are ready to expand yourself, your relationship, your love and your bottom line in a relaxed, playful, enriching and magical setting.
It is THE meeting place for couples who are making a difference in the world….from the boardroom to the bedroom – a Playground for Visionary Couples and a garden for couples who lead and love through service.
Our couples retreats are a sanctuary to evolve your relationship (and your bottom line) in a fun, playful, sexy environment with other visionary couples.
It is an experience of evolutionary partnership in action with a supportive community where we peel back the curtain of highly evolved relationships and discover how high performing entrepreneurial couples make it work, and what they do when it doesn’t.
Surrender into a sanctuary to revitalize your relationship, while, connecting to other couples who love and lead in the same way you are of service in the world.
Rise with us and return to a paradise, once lost, at Eden World.
Imagine experiencing…
- Open, honest and vulnerable dialogues about things each of us go through as couples allowing you to see that you are not alone and together find solutions that empower the whole.
- The feeling of being held by the arms (proverbial or literally) of other awakened men and women who see you, get you and can offer you listening and reflections that you simply can’t (or won’t) hear from your partner.
- Dedicated time to focus on your relationship with other couples doing the same thing in a sacred container that allows you to feel free, heard, seen and fully expressed.
- Deep dialogues with other couples who’ve “been there, done that” and learning from each others expertise, knowledge and life lessons.
- Getting to the bottom of something that’s been a “core wound” in your relationship and finally healing it because you have a new perspective and others to support you in seeing it differently.
- A super, top secret, confidential space where you will feel safe to let it all hang out without it affecting your public persona.
- A safe place to fully express yourself and your affections with your partner and have it be celebrated and encouraged instead hindered by societal norms and culture.
- Lots of intimacy, restfulness, connection and more.
- New friends & business connections made in the hot tub or lounges during in the down time /in between sessions (lots and lots of free time).
- Being nourished and served in the same way that you nourish and serve others.
ARE WE DOING ANY LIVE RETREATS & EVENTS SOON?
In prior years the Eden community would come together 2-3 times a year during live 4-Day Destination Retreats and at various in person gatherings throughout the year. Based on the pandemic we’ve temporarily paused our live retreats, masterminds, and in person events until we know that we can congregate safely.

XII. WE HOLD IT, TOGETHER
I. RELATIONSHIP IS OUR NORTH STAR
We hold with reverence that each person’s romantic partnership is a spiritual practice. Everything we explore revolves around the idea that in the context of committed partnership, we are more likely to discover even greater levels of freedom for our sovereign expression than what we would find through personal exploration alone.
We regard partnership as the perfect mirror for our present level of consciousness and our greatest teacher for the optimal path forward. We live in harmony with what serves that partnership, as we trust that it points us towards what is in the greatest service to ourselves, to the community and to the world.
In Eden, we search for the commonality with each other rather than exploit our differences, and use that as a reminder to awaken to a higher consciousness. When we hold this perspective, we can feel the boundary lines dissolve between us and our beloveds, between our shadow and our light, and between that which we revere and that which we detest. If we find ourselves in opposition, we remember to take a moment to see the complimentary and symbiotic nature within ourselves and our Beloved. We are devoted to loving one another with the fullness of our hearts.
In other words:
It is through the container of relationship that we see ourselves more completely and become the most actualized version of ourselves. We take being in relationship seriously.
II. WE ARE EACH OTHER’S BELOVED
We celebrate love. We hold each other’s love and relationship as sacred. Each member of our community is a stand for you, for your beloved and for the future selves that you can only be through dedicated commitment to each other. We are unshakable in our faith in the prosperous future of each relationship. We are ever expanding the love, care and devotion we experience with our beloveds to include our community and in turn humanity. We treat each other with the same reverence and respect that we hold for our beloveds.
In Eden, we practice knowing and loving ourselves more fully, so we can be ourselves more completely. This includes the parts that have been hidden, denied, rejected or judged. We are interconnected, and with each other as our mirrors, we can master loving ourselves and each other more completely, and create a world that works for the highest good of all.
In other words:
We extend our respect, honor and brotherly or sisterly love to everyone in Eden, even when it is challenging. When each of us practices caring for each other as beloveds, sometimes shift comes up, just like it does with your partner. Remember we are all here for the same thing. Breathe and use these principles to guide you.
III. ALL THE WAY THROUGH
When we take things “all the way through” it means that we no longer have a judgement or trigger with someone or something that was in conflict for us. It means that we each do “the work” to clear our own hearts and minds of uncompleted thoughts, unresolved interactions, character assessments and interpretations of negative intent. When we are unable to do this alone, we take the initiative to get the support from others to do so.
We meet challenges with curiosity and engage in courageous conversations that lead to the healing, greater freedom, and deeper connection we all desire most, whatever it takes.
In Eden, we do our best to not push things under the rug or hold judgments that weigh on our hearts. This principle invites us all to have the conversations that get through the layers and create an even deeper connection and understanding because we've gone all the way through.
In other words:
Don’t leave things unresolved. Clean it up as we go.
IV. WHAT’S IN THE WAY IS THE WAY
We believe every problem contains the seed of its own solution and the impulse of evolution. Anything we perceive as an obstacle is an opportunity for our own development and emotional maturation. We trust that all of life is conspiring for our highest good and are grateful for the obstacles that we may initially perceive as in our way, because they point to a more noble path, giving rise to new opportunities, rewards and evolutionary ways of seeing and being.
In Eden, what looks like a problem is actually the solution. We work to show up for each other with open, undefended hearts, available for feedback and other perspectives, knowing that we all bring something of value. Seeking to find the truth in the middle, the highest possibility for all, we recognize that if something is triggered, it is gold and we explore it to discover the intrinsic value of our relational field of reflections, awareness and possibilities for growth.
In other words:
What seems like a mishap is actually transformational gold in disguise. Remember, a lotus flower blooms from the deepest and thickest mud.
V. HONOR & INTEGRITY
We believe the seeds of Eden are planted in the soil of our soul and we must live with integrity for them to blossom forth into our lives. By endeavoring to align with our deepest truth, be impeccable with our words -- and keep our word -- we develop the congruent character that allows life to thrive in and around us. We are sincere with the agreements and promises we make and communicate honestly when we are unable to fulfill those commitments. We honor the absent and go directly to the source of any miscommunication or upset. We treat others with reverence and respect, as we would have them treat us.
In Eden, we do our best to live in integrity in all we do. We avoid triangulation or gossip and look to the principles as a way to honor one another and clear any obstacles in the way of a loving and peaceful connection.
In other words:
Be Cool. Don’t be a hypocrite and say one thing then do another. Don’t be gossiping or shit talking people. Do your best to be straight up with one another.
VI. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
We hold the paradox of individual and shared responsibility. We cast ourselves as the author of our own experience, responsible for our thoughts, actions and circumstances.
Although we grant that same respect to others, we also hold ourselves accountable to our impact on their experience, regardless of their sensitivities or interpretations. We clean up our own messes yet, our attitude of personal responsibility does not end there. We also hold ourselves responsible for our ongoing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development so that we learn from our mistakes.
In Eden, we are the creator of our own reality. No person or condition has the power to make us think, feel or do anything that we don’t consent to – therefore we take 100% responsibility for our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, feelings and actions.
In other words:
Keep your shit tight.
VII. FULL SOVEREIGN EXPRESSION
It is a potent expression of divine love to be fully expressed as an individual. Every person plays a necessary role in integrating what is needed to create a world that works for everyone. We also believe that it is courageous to be fully expressed and even though this can be messy and create great contrast, it is where our differences meet that our greatest opportunities for healing, growth and evolution exist.
In Eden, we strive to live, speak and embody our most authentic self. Enriched by our differences, we celebrate the whole range of the human experience. We understand that some expressions may be soft while others are bold and we welcome both and everything in between.
In other words:
Let your freak flag fly and watch others’ heads when you are spinning your flag around.
VIII. PRESENT AWARENESS
We hold presence as the starting place from which to love and live. We recognize that being present is a prerequisite for seeing and meeting our beloveds. Because life is ever-evolving, we release the past and what the future may hold as we enter this moment, rediscovering what’s new with ourselves, our partner and the world. With present awareness, healing of separation and ultimate communion are possible.
In Eden, we value the flow and possibility that lies within each moment as we believe this reveals our true “current-see.” Each moment is its own experience with emerging miracles held within it.
In other words:
Be here now.
IX. ASSUME THE BEST
We aim to keep our relationships free of judgement, blame, contractions and resistance. We acknowledge that we can never know Truth without understanding others. We strive to know the Truth as the multidimensional perspective that includes all and excludes nothing. We hold that giving others the experience of being understood is often a prerequisite for being understood ourselves. We engender trust that each person is doing their best regardless of our perceptions.
In Eden, we are committed to creating a culture of humility and curiosity around our beliefs and stories about our Beloved and all of our Beloveds in Eden – allowing us to remain open to the diversity of perspectives that gives rise to the deeper understanding – the place in the middle that serves the highest good of all. This means that we examine and take responsibility for the “stories we make-up” and remain open to understanding and hearing ALL perspectives in service to the highest truth.
In other words:
Don’t make up stories about other people, assume the best and seek to understand. If you are going to make up stories… make up really amazing ones that paint others in a positive light. Go to the source with curiosity and share with an open heart.
X. GIVING FREQUENCY
When we are in the spirit of generosity it feeds the part of our soul that longs to be connected and feel supported. As an expression of valuing self and others we share what we have (our gifts) in order to uplift one another. Through this generosity bonds are created and weave together the fabric of a community that transcends self-interest. It is in these bonds that we enjoy true safety, security and certainty. The more we cherish our community, as a way of holding the gifts we offer, the more we cultivate a community in which everyone thrives.
By being of service to others we can experience ourselves as having a surplus of love, energy, time and resources and align with a purpose greater than ourselves. We choose to give to this community because we are inspired by its purpose: Love.
In Eden, we share from our abundance recognizing that we are all bearers of great resources. Some of us have valuable skills and services we can offer, some have finances and other acquisitions to share. We give unconditionally and wholeheartedly, trusting and knowing that we are provided for, as individuals and as a group.
In other words:
The more we give to the community, the more we are supported and all thrive. We give freely of our time, treasure and talent. “We-conomics vs. Me-conomics”
XI. ALL NEEDS MET
All human beings have needs. Some go unexpressed and some are loud and clear. At times those needs may feel in conflict with someone else's needs, yet when we commit to seek ways to meet all needs, we illuminate a path towards creating something greater than what we originally thought possible.
As a practice we strive to distinguish our needs from our preferences, desires and self-protection and are committed to exploring any friction or perceived “problem” with an open heart and mind. This process activates an emergent field of opportunity that allows us to discover and reveal the higher needs within every situation.
In Eden, we hold sacred our faith that all needs can be met and that all of our decisions and actions can be made to serve the whole. We are unsatisfied with any conditions that leave any person’s needs unmet.
In other words:
Help a buddy out and do what you can to support one another, even when you would rather not.
XII. WE HOLD IT, TOGETHER
The way we love is guided by the belief that the individual is most efficiently healed in partnership. The way we hold community is guided by the belief that the partnership is most efficiently healed in community. Rooted in our sovereignty, we freely choose to love, serve and support each other, expanding the freedom, capacity and opportunities available to all of us.
Our struggles often feel personal, but when we reveal them to a loving community we recognize that the true nature of our struggles is, in fact, shared. We invest in each other’s development and emotional maturation, and in doing so we find ourselves liberated from the same emotional and cultural inheritance of patterned thinking and stored trauma.
In Eden, when we have the courage to be vulnerable with each other and the generosity to hold each other tenderly in that vulnerability, we open ourselves up to a more expansive experience of love. Instead of trying to “hold it together” we hold it... together.
In other words:
Being a lone ranger is a thing of the past. We are a tribe people and, as a tribe, we support each other and build each other up. I got me, you got you… we got we!
4 PILLARS OF RELATIONSHIP
We believe that there are four “Key Pillars” to a healthy & happy relationship.
- Sovereignty - How we are in our connection to ourselves.
- Unity - How we are within our partnerships.
- Community - How we are within our relationships with our community.
- Humanity - How we are within our relationships with our world.
From a sovereign individual comes a more powerful partnership (sovereign unity) which then can be more powerful and active to give to and be held in community.
Does my payment cover me and my partner or do we need to pay separately?
Who’s right for this membership?
Our membership is perfect for thriving, committed, mission driven couples who have been together for a minimum of one year and are looking to expand their network, gain insights and tools and support from peers while enjoying a safe, sacred and confidential place that holds and empowers your relationship.
Is the membership for couples only?
Yes. as of now, Eden Sanctuary is solely focused on partnership and evolving our relationships. Our requiremet is that couples be in a committed relationship for at least 1 year before joining.
We are already experts, leaders and teachers in the relationship space, how will this serve me?
Eden was built for leaders like you- who spend a lot of their life “holding and supporting others.” Eden is a place where you get to be held by other awesome couples and peers who have wisdom to share.
And, specifically for relationship coaches and experts, Eden is a place where your gifts get to shine.
Not only will your relationship be supported in new ways, but as an expert and a member at Ambassador level or above, you will get to showcase your gifts to the membership by having access to teaching and offering your tools and expertise in Eden.
But don’t take our word for it, here is what Jonatha Hudson, a relationship and sex expert has to say about how Eden has helped him and his wife…
“We don’t need Eden for our relationship. We don’t need Eden for communication We don’t need Eden for our sex life. We’ve got all that. AND….we have still learned some fun stuff. We desire Eden for the community. For friends. REAL friends. The ones that we would do anything for. And to spread couples love – which I think is one of the most powerful energies we can spread on this planet. We desire Eden for the puzzle pieces of an amazing life experience. We are but one corner of the puzzle. So many areas we don’t know and want to. There are so many couples here that have such wisdom and knowledge. And we are puzzle pieces for each other. We desire Eden to grow our relationship. To be held. To be wanted. To be challenged. To be called out. And to be called up. In love. We got stale in our thinking we had it all figured out. Stale and very lonely at the top. Coming back down the mountain into the arms of this beautiful community has brought tears to my eyes more than once.”
I’m not sure what support I need, how would I know if this is right for me?
Eden is right for those who are desiring more community and more places to explore, soften and expand your edges around love, partnership and relationship. You may not know what support you need, but being human and being 100% committed to another human being can bring up challenges that Eden World offers collective wisdom and tools to help you navigate.
Simply by engaging in conversations and experiences with other evolutionary couples, it becomes clear that there are growth edges and it will become clear what wants to be supported and held once you begin to see what others are going through and talking about.
We are in a non-monogamous relationship, is this membership right for us?
Eden World is for committed couples but couples in our community have many ranges to their level of agreements from monogamous to poly and everything in between. However, you must be in a committed partnership of one year or more to join Eden Sanctuary (at Ambassador level or above), and while you and your committed partner are in Eden experiences, the invitation us to focus on expanding the relationship with the beloved (or beloveds) you are in that committed partnership with. (Meaning… we are not “playing with others” in Eden, as there are plenty of places to do that in the world, and that is not what Eden is about.)
I’m not really into “memberships.” I’ve never been a “group” person. I’m a leader, not a joiner.
We invite and challenge you to have a double or triple zoom date with any Eden World couple and let us know how you feel after that. If you feel held, supported, inspired and engaged in any way, then Eden Sanctuary might be right for you.
Also- Eden is a community filled with leaders and introverts. We do our best to cater to every need as best as we can, and allow for couples to find a level of interaction and connection that works for them.
We have kids, is this community kid friendly?
While Eden World is an adult focused community, we are definitely supportive of parents with kids and have a whole community of parents who have created a mini-community within Eden to serve the needs of couples with children and the children themselves.
We are in a same sex relationship, is this membership right for us?
Eden is for any type of committed partnership and we welcome same sex couples with open arms. While our membership is still primarily heteronormative, we have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to serve same sex couples and have many things in place to support you, while also being fully open to ideas and feedback that your experience in our community may bring to our attention.
Our relationship is in trouble and needs support, is this the right place for us?
Unfortunately, we are not here to save marriages or relationships. That’s what therapy and coaching is for. While we provide many tools and support for troubled times, our membership is geared for thriving partnerships and we are not in a position nor have the resources to support troubled relationships. But we can recommend many resources from our community to support you to get yourself and your relationship to a more peaceful place.
Will this work if I’m outside of North America?
Yes! All of our membership offerings are virtual and all calls are recorded and made available to the membership for viewing at your convenience.
If I don’t join now, when will the membership open next?
Since Eden Sanctuary is an ongoing membership, you can join at any time. Keep in mind that you may not be able to join a Couples Council right away if we do not have other couples to pair you with.
Our biggest wave of new members happens after each of our virtual events, and when we can gather again, in-person live events.
What happens after I join?
Once you become a Sanctuary member, you will be contacted by our Eden World Concierge to welcome you as well as have an opportunity to go through a comprehensive “Sanctuary Orientation” process.

I’m busy, how much time will the Membership take? How much time do I need to commit?
Most of our members own businesses, have families and other big time commitments. While we offer a wide range of calls and community gatherings, you can attend as much or as little of these offerings as you’d like.. There is no set time commitment other than you Couples Councils, who usually meet one or twice a month at a minimum.
That being said, the more time you are able to put in, the more your relationship will thrive and the more connections to the other community members themselves will grow and prosper- which is what Eden World is ALL about.

Our membership and greater community consists of many prolific experts from all walks of life and all over the country (and world). Most of these express have decades of experience teaching communities and have written books and offer seminars, workshops and more.
We also have an intake process for members of our community and beyond to submit their desired topics they want to bring which lets us know their qualifications and acculturate them to our mission and ethos.
A few of our past Salon calls featured Sex and Intimacy experts Destin Gerek and Elie Prana, a guided exploration of your Erotic Blueprint with Kismet Marlane, and Tune In and Turn On: Breaking Down the Genetic Barriers to Sex and Intimacy with Simone Ressner and Larry Michel all who have been working in their respective fields for over a decade or more.
You can find more information about our Salons and Experts in our Resource Library.
What kind of relationship support is available in the membership? Does it cost extra?
Our Eden principles include having “All Needs Met” and “Seeing it All the Way Through” which helps to make sure that any challenges that arise can be met and held by the container of Eden World.
For the occasional challenge or issues within your relationship, you have the support of your Eden Concierge, your Couples Council, other Sanctuary members, the Forum and your Eden Leadership team. In addition if you are an Ambassador level or above each month we will be holding a Heart Seat call which you can signup for where you can get group coaching from our experts.
If you are having ongoing issues in your relationship and want to get support before it becomes critical, we have Eden Verified Experts who are therapists, counselors and relationship coaches who can do 1 complimentary exploratory session with you where you can get support and find out more about their paid services and packages should you need it.
If it is a critical issue and you or your beloved are considering uncoupling, the same group of experts is here to make sure this is a final decision or help you reconcile. If you are choosing uncoupling, we have an uncoupling therapist who is committed to supporting you and your beloved through the process. You also are able to choose to remain in the Sanctuary community for support and love during this time.
And yes, if you need this kind of extra support beyond an initial support session, there will be an extra investment needed and you will work that out directly with the support practitioner.
Are there people in my area who are part of the membership?
It depends on where you live but yes, we have couples from all over the country. Many are able to join councils with couples who live nearby and able to meet in person as well. We are looking forward to growing our Eden Local communities and encouraging more virtual and in person gatherings as safety permits.
Do you offer live events and retreats? When are they happening? Where do they happen?
While we do offer live events and retreats, at this time of global pandemic concern and social distancing regulations, we are unable to hold them in person. However, they are planned out and ready to go the minute we can set a new date and secure a venue! Typically these in person gatherings and retreats happen in California.
What if I want to join but my partner isn’t interested?
While we would love to be able to support everyone, we have found it is very difficult to participate as a solo part of a couple. Much of our work and gatherings are focused on your connection and relationship to your beloved and to other couples in the community.
If they are unsure, we can arrange a double date with someone in our community or on the Eden World Leadership team to explore with you both if there is a way we can support you to get on the same page with your desire to be a part of this community.
Ultimately, if they decide Eden is not for them at this time, we won’t be able to accept only one person of the coupledom.
