Conscious Relating is Calling You

It’s true. You’re here for a reason. You’re ready to be embody true, conscious, radiant, sacred partnership. You’re ready to be Truly Seen, Fully Heard, and Deeply Held by your Beloved. You’re ready to shine the light of your love into the world, and to uplift and inspire others with that light.

It’s true. You’re here for a reason. You’re ready to be embody true, conscious, radiant, sacred partnership. You’re ready to be Truly Seen, Fully Heard, and Deeply Held by your Beloved. You’re ready to shine the light of your love into the world, and to uplift and inspire others with that light.

The world is ready for a new paradigm of partnership.

A paradigm that is never about power over - but about the true divine, radiant fulfillment that we can create together.

A paradigm that calls each partner into true accountability to hold and heal their own pain and wounding, leaning into connection with their beloved (tor!)mentor, even in the hardest moments of conflict and turmoil.

A paradigm that embraces the sacred dance of devotion between the divine feminine and the divine masculine, and draws on all of the tools of individual empowerment, yoga, spirituality, and somatic embodiment to nourish this dance as it endlessly recreates itself.

We call this paradigm Divine Union.

The bad news is that Divine Union is almost the exact opposite of the partnerships that many of us grew up witnessing - socially and economically conditioned institutions where power dynamics and the avoidance of emotional pain at all costs generally triumphed over love, care and respect.

These traditional partnerships have hugely contributed to the generational trauma and behavioural patterns that we see playing out at every level of modern culture - from the kindergarten playground to the world political stage.

It’s unspeakably difficult to forge your own devotional partnership that is based on love and dedication to consistently showing up, when so much of our role-modeling, past and present, is about leading from fear rather than from love.

We’re at the coal face

The good news is that Divine Union is not only what the world needs most, it is also what your soul is crying out for. And, it is the very same thing that your beloved partner is also seeking.

It’s no accident that stories of true love have been the most compelling stories, across all cultures, since the beginning of time. We all long for Divine Union, because it is the one true way to be in alignment with ourselves and with each other. It is, simply, the way of Love. And so, as more of us choose Divine Union, as we choose to turn away from “normal” and towards the whispered longings of our hearts - so we can all walk each other home.

And so, answering this call, my Beloved and I have co-created a six-month journey for a handful of couples, where we can explore the principles and practices, the challenges and the soul-deep satisfaction, of Divine Union. We begin in May 2026.

Will you join us?

“My partner (male) and I (female) came to Sarah at a time when we were struggling to see, hear and meet each other in the ways needed.

My partner had never been in a therapy or self inquiry space like this before, and his nerves were quickly settled by Sarah’s beautiful blend of accessibility, practicality and compassion. She simplified when needed and invited us deeper when needed.

We appreciated the home-work/play, as it supported us to maintain momentum outside of sessions. It’s been hugely beneficial to have outside support, so we can meet each other as equals, in our shared desire for deepening.

The Divine Union Journey

The Divine Union Journey is a six-month container that takes you on a journey from partnership, to conscious relating, to true Divine Union. Think of it as a Masters Degree in relating, which will equip you and your beloved to stand side-by-side as a loving team, as you navigate the ups, downs, challenges, triumphs, sweetness and depth of co-creating a life together.

  • We’ll begin the journey in March 2026 with a one-day in-person workshop together in Auckland.
  • For the next six months, you’ll receive fortnightly teachings and practices covering ‘chapters’ of juicy content including conscious communication, creating safety, boundaries, deals and dealbreakers, conflict resolution, working with trauma, attachment styles, delicious sexual partnerships, polarity, and a whole lot more.
  • We’ll meet monthly for a live online Q&A, and for men’s and women’s - specific teachings and sharing.
  • Each person will receive at least two individual 1:1 sessions during the course
  • In September we’ll gather for a dreamy 4-day couples retreat in beautiful Taupō to put everything we’ve learned into practice.
  • The container for this course will be small and intimate, and spaces are strictly limited to 4-8 couples.

    Total investment is NZD4,000 per couple, including everything except retreat food and accommodation.

    If you’ve felt that the world we live in doesn’t prepare us for the kind of partnership your soul longs for, if you’re ready to invite Divine Union into your partnership, then this journey is for you.

About Us, and our Divine Union

Sarah is a practitioner and teacher of classical Tantra, a mama of two amazing humans, a yoga
facilitator and teacher trainer, and a somatic therapist.

Brendon is a registered social worker and mental health clinician with extensive experience in mental health, addictions, and palliative care. He is also a qualified yoga teacher who enjoys nature, travelling, and playing guitar.

Together we have leaned in, in deep devotion, to creating our Divine Union as the foundation of our family, home, community and lives together. The journey has been incredible - profound, ecstatic and transformative - and at times really, really difficult.

Despite each of us having don decades of spiritual and inner work, we both still brought attachment wounding, family-of-origin trauma, and reactive conflict patterns into our partnership.

So we too have been at the coal face, we’ve had to learn the hard way, and we know the trauma patterns from the inside out - hence the deep desire to coach and offer back what w have learned, and continue to learn, on this journey together.

We’re so super passionate about this work. We truly believe that long-term partnership is the most divine container of spiritual growth that exists (a sentiment that originated with classical Tantra,and has also been our lived experience). Each layer that we uncover reveals more depth, richness, insight, connection and joy than either of us had ever thought possible.

So to the part of you that doubts, we say this: “We had doubts too. But arriving at Divine Union truly is possible. And the best (perhaps the only? certainly the fastest) way to reach that destination is in community, alongside others on a similar journey, so we can all walk each other home.”
