Workshop Description

Restaurants are going to be packed. You know it, we know it. Tables crammed together like sardines, some poor waiter sweating through their shirt while juggling 47 orders of overcooked salmon, and you sitting there pretending that lukewarm bread basket and that $18 glass of wine is romantic.

Fun times.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about connection. Real connection. The kind where you actually look at each other. Touch each other. Feel something besides exhaustion and the weight of whose turn it is to change the diaper.

And most Valentine's dates completely miss that mark.

You get dressed up (which is already a production when you're postpartum), you spend a small fortune on babysitters and mediocre food, and then you come home feeling like you checked a box but didn't actually connect with your person at all.

So this year Blossom is doing something different.

Sexologist Sylvie Barak will be running a rare in-person Connect with your Partner Workshop right here on Valentine's Day. And yes, before you ask, you can bring your baby if you need to. No fancy clothes required. Just you and your partner and an hour and a half of actual real intimacy.

Sylvie will teach you things like bossy massage (it's as fun as it sounds), the 3 minute game, and the art of the desire interview. These are practices you can try right there in the room or take home with you if you're feeling shy. There might be champagne. There will definitely be chocolate. And you'll leave feeling more connected than any crowded restaurant could ever make you feel.

Way better than wilting roses and cold steak if you ask us.

If this sounds like your kind of Valentine's Day, grab your spot now. Space is limited because we want to keep it intimate and actually useful."
