Love Wins! Exclusive Retreat for LGBTQ+ Couples. Soul 2 Soul Global welcomes you to this unique opportunity designed to create healthier relationships.

Love Wins! is a weekend-long couple retreat that combines LGBTQ+ specific coaching with a luxurious resort experience.

Couples, be honest--Do you feel like you and your partner are speaking different languages?

Are you more like roommates than lovers? Can't find the middle ground between penny-pinching and splurging?

Struggling to thrive as an LGBTQ+ Couple in a heterocentric world?

Ever wish your relationship came with a "How To" Manual?

You're not alone. Even if you've been together since before "Netflix and Chill" was a thing, creating a successful partnership is challenging.

But just because improving your relationship requires work, doesn't mean it has to be hard.

Love Wins! is a fun, interactive weekend retreat designed to help you identify and correct the core issues plaguing your relationship so you can live a happier, healthier life together.

During the retreat, you and your partner will learn how to:

• Communicate using the Rosetta Stone of Relationships-the love languages.
• Crank up the heat in the bedroom.
• Reach a happy money medium.
• Manage stressors unique to LGBTQ+ couples.
• Create a vision board to plan your #couplegoals and how to get there.

Most importantly, you'll feel butterflies again when you think about the person you've to spend your life with.

Love Wins! is run by Dr. Gregory Canillas, or Doc, as he's affectionately known. Doc is an award-winning relationship psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with couples.

He's already helped hundreds of couples build happier and healthier relationships.

Just see what past couples have said:

"We really had an in-depth and honest conversation...it was truly a safe space for all of us to learn, grow, challenge, and share our thoughts as well as experiences. I feel changed."

"Dr. Canillas brilliantly brings out the best in our shared knowledge and experiences. (He) validates our experiences. We left better prepared, hopeful, and rejuvenated with fresh ideas."

Through hands-on activities, engaging lectures, and exciting games, you'll...

• Discover how childhood and family traumas are harming your relationship.
• Reignite your passion for one another.
• Understand your partner's values about sex and money.
• Develop coping methods tailored to the unique issues LGBTQ+ couples face.
• Create happier outcomes from disagreements.

You'll learn the same skills as couples who spend years in private sessions. And because the retreat is limited to 12 hand-selected couples, you'll get the same level of personalized attention--without completely reorganizing your calendar.

If you're determined to be that adorable old couple in the park who everyone swoons over, a weekend away is all it takes. A weekend to prioritize your health and well-being. A weekend to tear up your "to-do" list and put your phone on airplane mode. A weekend to truly dedicate yourselves to improving your couple.

Love Wins! takes place from November 7, 2025 - November 9, 2025, at the trendy and slick The Triada in Palm Springs Francisco, California.

Triada, a luxury hotel featuring a Michelin star awarded restaurant is designed for the most discerning traveler. Each room features views of the city or bay.

After our sessions finish, you create your itinerary. Explore everything the Intercontinental has to offer including an award-winning restaurant, shop in Union Square, or visit one of the city's charming neighborhoods.

In addition to 14 hours of workshops, course materials, and individual time with Doc, your Love Wins! Weekend Retreat includes:

• 2 nights in a well-appointed junior suite.
• 4 meals (Friday-Dinner; Saturday-Breakfast, Lunch; Sunday-Breakfast).

• A goodie box is sure to make you hang up the "Do Not Disturb" sign.

And as a bonus, Doc is offering a free 30-minute follow-up appointment to each couple so you can ask questions and share your victories after the retreat.

Love Wins! is limited to no more than 12 pre-selected couples. Take the first step to creating the relationship of your dreams. Call 213. 232. 3811 to schedule your interview today.

How about the little details, any of that worth a mention?

Absolutely. The hotel's layout features three sparkling pools and tucked-away corners perfect for lounging, reading, or sipping something delicious. It’s the kind of place where you can hear birdsong in the morning and soft jazz by the pool in the afternoon. Don’t miss the Mediterranean-inspired tilework and Instagrammable views of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Food and drink: What do we have here?

While Triada doesn’t have a full restaurant onsite, they offer room service and curated breakfast options included in certain packages.

Bottom line: worth it, and why?

If you're looking for charm, character, and romance, Triada is a win. It offers the seclusion of a private villa with the service of a high-end boutique hotel. Its proximity to Palm Canyon Drive means you’re never far from the action, but when you return to the hotel, it feels like your own little oasis.
