The Foundation:
A 6-Week Intimacy, Sexuality & Relationship Transformation Container
(formerly a workshop series—now a guided relational reset)
Most people don’t struggle with relationships because they don’t know enough.
They struggle because of what they’ve never been taught to feel, say, or tolerate in themselves.
The Foundation is a 6-week guided experience designed to help you uncover the unconscious patterns shaping your intimacy, sexuality, and relationships - and begin changing them in real time.
This is not passive learning.
This is a space where insight becomes behavior change.
Most people don’t struggle in relationships because they lack insight.
They struggle because:
they repeat emotional patterns they don’t fully understand
they suppress desire or confuse it with fear
they can’t consistently communicate needs without guilt or collapse
they intellectually “get it,” but still live the same relational outcomes
Understanding is not the issue.
Integration is.
HOW IT WORKS
6 weekly live 90-min group sessions
Max 8 participants per cohort
Pre + post 1:1 private sessions with Shula
Between-session integration prompts
Live video format (from anywhere)
WHAT WE EXPLORE
Across six weeks, we move through the core layers that shape intimacy:
Self-Perception & Communication
How you express desire, suppress needs, and relate to your own voice in relationship.Beliefs, Shame & Emotional Conditioning
The invisible narratives shaping what you believe you are “allowed” to want.Relationship Patterns & Attachment Dynamics
Why you keep recreating the same relational experiences - even with different people.Boundaries & Relational Clarity
Learning the difference between protection, avoidance, and authentic limits.Sexuality & Erotic Voice
Reconnecting to desire, pleasure, fantasy, and your authentic sexual expression.Integration & Relational Embodiment
Bringing everything together into lived practice - not insight alone.
WHO IT’S FOR
This is for people who are:
ready to stop repeating relational cycles
tired of intellectual understanding without change
willing to look at themselves honestly
single, partnered, or in transition
