LEADING IN LOVE
A Two-Day Immersive Experience For Couples To Find Growth, Connection, And Healing In Their Relationship.
June 3 - 4
New York, NY (in-person & virtual options)
Join us for a 2-day experience — LIVE or ONLINE — with leading relationship experts Connor Beaton & Vienna Pharaon, featuring their unique, effective teachings and extraordinary practice sessions.
In this workshop you’ll discover the secrets to a strong and intimate relationship. Learn how to communicate effectively, navigate conflict in ways that bring you closer instead of building disconnection and resentment, and deepen your understanding of each other’s internal worlds, dreams, hopes, and desires.
If you’ve ever been in a group setting before, you know how powerful this environment can be. There’s something deeply profound about being in a collective space with people addressing many of the same challenges you’re facing. Vienna and Connor love working with groups because the teachings are endless. You’re bound to see yourself in someone else in the group, and you’ll also understand something new about your partner when someone else in the group shares. It’s hard to describe, but it’s magical.
Here’s the truth about intimate relationships – they require maintenance, effort, and they ask us to go outside of our comfort zone to learn the skills necessary for our relationship to flourish and thrive.
During this event, you and your partner will not only be given the resources to develop a deeper level of connection, but you will have the opportunity to go through real time practices and experiences that are designed to build the connection and closeness you desire.

Q&A
Dedicated time for you to ask questions about the challenges you've been having in your relationship
Some of the most challenging aspects of any intimate relationship are when a couple is struggling to move through conflict, continually making unhealthy choices that block love, or have found their intimacy becoming stagnant. Like countless couples, you may have fallen into these patterns.
You’re not alone if you’re feeling stuck in your relationship, can’t shake the resentment that you’re carrying, struggle to break free from patterns you’re exhausted by, or are trying to navigate a very different chapter of life than the one you entered your relationship in.
In this workshop, Connor and Vienna – who have tens of thousands of hours of experience working with couples - will guide you through teachings, practices, and exercises that are designed to bring a deeper level of connection, communication, and intimacy. All of the exercises are created for you to practice during the weekend and take home with you to use on a regular basis.
There will be teachings which give you a proven framework to repair after a conflict or disconnection, dedicated time for you to ask questions about your relationship, and a myriad of experiences that will bring you and your partner closer together.
Plus, you will experience all of this within a grounded and dynamic group setting, where the focus is on supporting love, healing, and relational repair, which will allow your own body and heart to open up to receiving the transformational power of such an environment.

Vienna received her Master of Science in marriage and family therapy from Northwestern University, and trained extensively at The Family Institute, Bette D. Harris Family & Child Clinic. She believes that we all have the capacity for beautiful change and fulfilling relationships, and has a way of leading people back home, connecting deeply to their unresolved pain from the past in order to create the change they wish to see in their lives and relationships.

Connor Beaton
Connor Beaton is the founder of ManTalks and author of the book Men’s Work. For almost a decade, Connor has helped men and women from all over the world grow in the realms of mental clarity, relational communication, life purpose and sexual intimacy.
After apprenticing with a pupil of Carl Jung, Connor developed a revolutionary approach to healing the Shadow – the part of our psyche that causes us to self-sabotage – by drawing from experiential and training-based methodologies like Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, along with transformative breathwork and meditative practices.
Known for his no-BS attitude and compassionate understanding of our own human limitations, Connor has organized and facilitated many transformational workshops and retreats and has shared the stage with world class speakers like Gary Vaynberchuk, Lewis Howes, Mark Groves, Gabrielle Bernstein, Mastin Kipp and Danielle LaPorte.
WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY
This experience not only strengthened our marriage but also gave us a deeper understanding of each other and our needs.
It is impossible to put into words how Connor and Vienna work together; almost magically, completely in sync, listening, nurturing and healing the most vulnerable and broken parts of ourselves that many of us have not even admitted to our closest friends. If you are fortunate enough to share in this experience, you will return home a better partner/spouse, parent, sibling and a human being.

I left the retreat with not only the tools to have a healthy fulfilling relationship but also a deeper understanding that I truly, truly deserve it.
I feel so lucky to have had this experience and to share it with some of the kindest, warmest, most badass people I've ever met.
- Betty
I used to hear about experiences that change your life and believed it to be all hype and hyperbole. But after this, I am a believer!
Amazing! Incredible! Words can't describe how powerful and impactful this experience was for me! Transformational, in every sense of the word. They saw my humanity, embracing all of me, and I am grateful.
- Caleb
Thank you for creating a safe and secure environment to explore how to be a better human.
An authentic human. And find ways to tap into an inner part of myself that I was afraid to find and share. The experience has been so powerful and profound. Trust the process. Trust Vienna and Connor.
