A RETREAT FOR COUPLES
The space between
you is not empty.
It's unsaid.
A three-day immersive retreat for couples who love each other — and have forgotten how to reach each other.
⸻ WELCOME TO THE CONNECTED ⸻
At the heart of every
disconnection is a quiet
truth — we were never
taught how to be heard.
We built our lives together. The home, the children, the careers, the calendar. Somewhere in all that building, we stopped building us.
The Connected Human is a three-day residential retreat for couples who recognise themselves in that sentence. It is not a spa weekend, and it is not therapy. It is an intensive, carefully-held programme that integrates three disciplines rarely brought together in one room: the Enneagram as a map of self and other, emotional intelligence as the skill of being understood, and somatic practice as the nervous-system work that makes change stick. Delivered in a private estate setting where two people can finally stop performing at each other and start listening.
It is built and facilitated by Elizabeth Banks, founder of The Movement Bank in London, with over two decades' experience in functional movement, biomechanics and movement neurology, and Sean Foley, co-founder of EQ2Lead and known to his clients as The EQ Commando, with thirty years of leadership, behavioural, and emotional intelligence work behind him. Both are certified Enneagram practitioners.
"The opposite of love is not hate.
It's the slow, quiet ache of
two people learning to live without each other
while still living together."
— Elizabeth Banks & Sean Foley, founders
— TWO PEOPLE ONE LOOP —
You are both right.
You are both unheard.
Every recurring argument contains two people — each convinced they are the one being misunderstood. Neither of you is the problem. The loop is. In our experience holding this work over many years, the pattern below is one we see week after week.
i
Know yourself
We map your individual protective patterns — the strategies you developed long before this relationship — in private depth sessions on day one. Drawing on the enneagram framework.
ii
See each other
With new self-awareness, your partner's behaviour stops looking like an attack and starts looking like a signal. Structured through Emotionally Focused and guided communication.
iii
Interrupt the loop
We catch the cycle in real time, together. Skilled facilitation means you don't just learn tools — you use them, under guidance, in the room.
iv
Restore connection
You leave with a shared vocabulary, a personalised 90-day plan co-written with Elizabeth and Sean, and one optional follow-up session included.
Held in a place
designed for stillness.
Set on a private estate, deep in protected woodland. Where the mobile signal fades and something older takes its place.
Before the decision
you can't take back.
The next retreat has limited places. We keep each immersion small so every couple receives the depth of attention they came for. Applications are reviewed personally within forty-eight hours.
