Build Secure Love. Heal Attachment Patterns. Deepen your relationship with yourself and others.

Relationships don’t fall apart because people don’t care.

They unravel because nervous systems, attachment patterns, and old relational wounds take over — often beneath conscious awareness.

The Embodied Relationships Summit brings together leading voices in attachment, psychology, neuroscience, and embodied healing to explore how secure love is actually built — not through insight alone, but through practical tools for regulation, repair, and transforming relational dynamics.

This summit offers a grounded, compassionate, and practical roadmap for understanding why relationships get stuck — and how to move toward connection that is stable, emotionally safe, and sustainable, both internally and relationally.


 

FACULTY

This summit brings together leading voices in attachment, psychology, neuroscience, and embodied healing. Each brings decades of experience and a deep commitment to accessible, embodied healing.

 

ABOUT THE SUMMIT

This is not about “fixing” yourself or your partner.

It’s about understanding how attachment patterns form, how they get activated in real relationships, and how they shape the relationship you have with yourself as much as the ones you have with others — without abandoning yourself or blaming others.

Across live and on-demand sessions, you’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns as adaptive responses, not character flaws

  • Regulate emotional reactivity before it turns into conflict, withdrawal, or shutdown

  • Repair trust after rupture — in ways that actually restore safety

  • Build emotional accountability with yourself and with others, without self-erasure

  • Create relationships rooted in consistency, clarity, and secure connection

This summit bridges attachment theory, neuroscience, and embodied practice so change isn’t just understood — it’s felt, practiced, and integrated in how you relate day to day.


WHO THIS SUMMIT IS FOR

This summit is for you if:

  • You notice repeating patterns in dating, intimacy, or long-term relationships

  • You swing between closeness and distance, anxiety and withdrawal

  • Conflict escalates quickly — or gets avoided altogether

  • You’ve done therapy or personal growth work but still feel “stuck” relationally

  • You want secure love that supports self-trust, boundaries, and emotional presence — not over-functioning, self-abandonment, or shutdown

It’s also highly relevant for therapists, coaches, and practitioners seeking a deeper, embodied understanding of attachment dynamics, including how relational capacity develops over time.

All Embody Lab Members automatically have a reserved seat to these deep-dive learning experiences.

DAY ONE

Saturday, February 7th, 2026 from 10am - 4:15pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)


Sabrina Zohar

10am - 11am ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

The Texting Anxiety Masterclass

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

The million dollar question: Is it even possible to date without losing your mind to your phone?

Spoiler alert: yes it is.


Dr. Nicole LePera

11:15am - 12:15pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

Reparenting the Inner Child in Relationships: Healing Attachment Wounds Together

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

This workshop explores how love, attachment, and intimacy are nervous system experiences shaped by early relational learning. Participants learn why romantic relationships activate powerful survival responses, how patterns like people-pleasing, shutdown, or over-functioning are protective adaptations, and why insight alone doesn’t create change. Through embodied practices, attendees learn to pause instead of react, stay present during emotional activation, and experience needs without self-abandonment. The session reframes secure attachment as a learnable capacity, built through small moments of regulation and repair that teach the body a new truth: connection can be safe now.


Alyssa Nobriga

12:45pm - 1:45pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

Heal the Patterns Beneath Attraction and Conflict

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

Why do you keep feeling drawn to the same dynamics in love, no matter who you’re with? This highly experiential workshop is designed for singles and couples who want to understand why their relationships unfold the way they do and how to change those patterns at the root. Drawing from her clinical background as a marriage and family therapist, Alyssa guides participants through a powerful tool and love quiz, and an embodied exercise to uncover how early relational imprints shape attraction, conflict, and emotional safety. You’ll leave with insights into what you truly value in relationship, clarity around how you may unconsciously block receiving love, and a lived breakthrough you can immediately apply to create healthier, more fulfilling connections.


Dr. Chris Lee

2pm - 3pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

The Neuroscience of Secure Love: Regulating the Brain for Healthy Attachment

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

Secure relationships depend on a regulated brain and nervous system. In this session, Dr. Chris Lee explores how stress physiology, emotional reactivity, and cognitive overload shape attachment patterns and relational conflict. Drawing from neuroscience, biometrics, and mindfulness research, he examines how dysregulation impacts communication, trust, and emotional availability — often beneath conscious awareness. Participants learn practical, brain-based tools for increasing emotional resilience, supporting co-regulation, and creating greater relational safety. This session offers a grounded understanding of how secure love is built not just through insight, but through consistent nervous system regulation.


Vanessa Bennett

3:15pm - 4:15pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

Healing Codependency in Relationships

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

In this session, Vanessa Bennett explores how codependent patterns develop and show up in relationships through over-functioning, people-pleasing, and loss of self. Rather than framing these dynamics as pathology, she approaches them as adaptive relational strategies and offers practical tools for strengthening boundaries, restoring self-trust, and shifting toward mutual, secure connection without self-erasure.


DAY TWO


Sunday, February 8th, 2026 from 10am - 4:15pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)


Baya Voce

10am - 11am ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

Repair: What Actually Brings Couples Back Together

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

Repair is what determines whether relationships deepen after rupture or slowly harden around it. This class offers a clear, embodied map for what to do after things go sideways. When emotions rise, insight disappears, and the old pattern starts running the show. You’ll learn how to tell whether repair is actually available, how to regulate enough to choose your next move, and how to come back together without over-explaining or forcing resolution. The focus is on timing, boundaries, and minimum effective repair, so connection can be restored without self-abandonment, shutdown, or endless processing.


Dr. Sara Kuburic

11:15am - 12:15pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

How to Be in a Relationship Without Losing Yourself

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

Love is wonderful, but are you losing yourself in your relationships? This chat is for anyone who wants to learn how to honor both their romantic connections and their individuality. We'll explore how to navigate intimacy and boundaries that come with staying true to ourselves while being partners. We are often tempted to betray or abandon who we are to be loved, but it’s time to stop and show up authentically. Bring your journal and an open heart.


Sheleana Aiyana and Ben Goresky

12:45am - 1:45pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

Choosing Each Other Again: How Couples Navigate Change, Seasons and Identity

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

This session explores how long-term partnership evolves through major life transitions such as parenthood, healing, grief, ambition, and identity change. Sheleana and Ben share how couples can stay emotionally connected as they grow into new versions of themselves. Through somatic awareness, relational inquiry, and lived experience, participants learn how to move through disconnection, fear, and uncertainty without losing the bond. This session offers grounded tools for choosing one another with presence, honesty, and nervous system safety across changing seasons of life


Mark Groves

2pm - 3pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

Unhooking from the Matrix

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

We are more connected than ever in human history, yet never more disconnected in the intimate relationships that shape our lives. We are inflamed — emotionally and physiologically — and the cost to our biology is immeasurable. Notifications and endless scrolling elevate cortisol, spike glucose, and fuel inflammation, placing our mental and metabolic health at a crossroads. Digital dementia, anxiety, depression, and insulin resistance are emerging as hidden consequences of our hyperconnected world. In this talk, we'll explore the surprising science of how technology drives inflammation and stress — and, most importantly, how love, alongside intentional practices, can help us reclaim balance, intimacy, and well-being in the digital age.


Cole Zesiger & Morgan Starr-Riestis

3:15pm - 4:15pm ET (U.S. Eastern Time)

The Science of Heartbreak: Why It Hurts & How to Heal

A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

This class is a guided breakup recovery process blending attachment theory, neuroscience, and somatic regulation. We’ll unpack common patterns in anxious and avoidant attachment—protest behaviors, shutdown, bargaining, rumination, “checking,” rebounds, and idealization—and explain what’s happening in the brain and body when love becomes loss. You’ll learn why breakups can mimic addiction, how to regulate your nervous system and create safety cues, and how to rebuild identity, routines, and meaning. We’ll cover boundaries when supporting others, closure, and when hope helps vs. harms—so you can move forward cleanly.


ON-DEMAND SESSIONS


Dené Logan

Embodying Interdepence

A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

So much about our current models of love and partnership have conditioned us to love either from a space of codependency or hyper-independence.

Not only does this way of relating lead to a lack of relationship fulfillment over time, but ultimately can interfere with our ability to realize our full potential. During this 75 minute workshop, couples therapist Dené Logan will share some of the tools she’s found most effective in supporting the couples and individuals she works with in working towards a greater sense of interdependence relationships so that our relationships can serve as tools for self-actualization, rather than a place to escape our existential fears.


 

Amy Chan, Jillian Turecki, and Kai Cheng Thom
