Before our romantic partnership came into existence, we were best friends and successful business colleagues. Yet, our transition into a romantic relationship revealed challenges we hadn't foreseen - complex power dynamics and unresolved issues from our past relationships began to emerge. Despite our solid foundation and open communication, we recognized the need for a distinct type of support.
Our desire grew for a community where we, and other couples with shared entrepreneurial or world-altering visions, could connect. We started to see the tremendous worth in peer-to-peer connections, sparking a dream of a communal space for couples keen on personal growth to honestly share and vulnerably explore the highs and lows of their relationships.
As we explored existing communities, none truly resonated with our vision. Though we found models such as entrepreneurial clubs, masterminds, vacation societies, coaching retreats, and membership models, none were a perfect fit. None fully catered to our vision of a platform explicitly dedicated to couples' personal growth and community building.
We dreamed of a place where couples could celebrate relationship triumphs, and provide mutual support through difficulties. A key aspiration was to create a place that wasn't just about incessant partying, but rather, emphasized the delight and enrichment of genuine connection and sharing of our collective wisdom on what it takes to create long term happiness in relationships.
We aspired to create a Sanctuary, imbued with joy and safety, where couples could celebrate their devotion to love, relish their partner's company, and commit to shaping a world that benefits everyone.
