Say hello

Love that feels good —
for everyone.

Healthy intimacy is the heart of strong families and vibrant communities. Step out of your head and into your body with accessible — and fun — practices.

For individuals, partners and groups, in person in Costa Rica and online wherever you are.

Relationship is a practice

When relationship is done well, it feels good, for everyone involved. Not perfect. Not easy every day. But good, in a way you can feel in your body.

Over years and decades, that adds up. Trust, ease, closeness, a shared history of having come through things together. It’s a kind of wealth worth more than diamonds.

Many of us weren’t taught how to do relationships well. Eros & Soul exists to help bridge that gap.

Learning through the body

Most of what we know about love, we learned in our heads — from culture, from parents, from stories that we maybe never thought to question.

Here we learn it through the body: how you move, breathe, touch, listen and respond. The truth of your own lived, embodied experience is the most real thing you can experience.

The body is honest. It shows you what’s really happening, often before you have words for it. When you practise relationship with your body, the lessons go deeper and they stay.

The six keys

Curiosity

Wanting to know yourself and each other, again and again. Asking instead of assuming.

Cooperation

Navigating with each other instead of against. Finding the way forward that feels great for both of you.

Patience

Trust, closeness, and dreams grow at their own pace — with time and trust, anything is possible.

Forgiveness

Letting go of what's been carried, so there's room for what's next.

Play

What opens up when the other keys are in place. Lightness, joy, and the freedom to be fully yourself with someone.

Welcoming the unexpected

Being willing not to know. Letting relationship surprise you, and growing from what it brings.

Hi, I'm Chris

Christopher Shewchuk smiling outdoors

I've spent about twenty years working with bodies, first as a yoga teacher and then as a registered massage therapist, with training in breathwork, somatic practice, shadow work, inner child work and parts work. These days I live in Costa Rica and teach in Santa Elena, with Rivas and Uvita coming soon.
