A duo session is suitable for two people who want to do a guided session together. That could be partners, but also friends, or family members who want to experience this day together. Just like with the individual sessions, the emphasis is on privacy, personal adjustment, and relaxation.
For many duos, this form is a beautiful middle ground between an individual session and participation in a group. You share in the preparation, the setting, and a part of the experience, while at the same time there remains room for each person to look at their background, intentions, sensitivities, and how guidance best suits them. As a result, a duo session is personal but also highly connecting.
A duo session is a good fit for people who want to undertake an inner journey together without the dynamics of a larger group and to share a meaningful experience together. Or, on the other hand, those who are seeking their own deepening, but with the presence of the other. There are also duos who find it pleasant to come together with a trusted person, so that safety, recognition, and connection are already present.
This format is therefore also suitable to book as partners, friends, brother and sister, or parent and child. As long as both participants enter into it consciously and there is mutual trust, this format can be very appropriate.
Together, but with space for your own process
Doing a session together does not mean that everything has to go identically. During the preparation, it is possible to look at how much emphasis should be placed on the shared experience and how much space is needed for each person's own process. For some duos, it works well to experience a lot together. For other duos, it is actually better to have more personal space.
It is precisely that flexibility which makes a duo session powerful. You come together, but the guidance does not have to be forced to be the same for both of you. In this way, both connection and personal depth can emerge.
Couples sessions for the relationship
Looking to find more connection, understanding, and finding love for each other again and reconnecting with intimacy? This setting is excellent for working on your relationship. You are sharing a special experience, but you are also able to look more consciously at connection, openness, and the way you want to interact with each other. Sometimes two sessions are needed so that you can focus on your own goals as well as on the relationship.
In relationship-focused sessions, the initial session is often more focused on you as an individual. That first step revolves around personal growth, self-awareness and a better connection with yourself. What is it that you truly need? Because what would happen if you were feeling better within yourself? In many situations, we also see this creating more breathing space within the relationship.
The second session can then be dedicated to the relationship together. Here, the emphasis shifts from the introspection of the first session to openness, connection, communication, and experiencing the mutual dynamic together. This structure fits well with couples who not only want to experience something together, but want to invest in their relationship.
For the sessions for romantic relationships, we can customize the structure as desired, such as the first session in separate rooms or at other times. Feel free to let us know what works best for you.
Who suits you?
For a duo session, one supervisor is sufficient in approximately 95% of cases. For most duos, this is a logical and appropriate choice, as one experienced supervisor is usually sufficient to provide both participants with effective support during the preparation, the session itself and the follow-up integration.
Some duos consciously choose two facilitators. This can be attractive, for example, when both participants want a lot of individual attention, when it is a more relational trajectory, or when it simply feels more comfortable to work with extra guidance. Because this is more difficult to coordinate in terms of availability, location and costs, a session with two facilitators is tailor-made.
Anyone interested in a duo session with two facilitators is therefore best advised to beforehand contact us to discuss the wishes. In this way, it can be assessed what is practically achievable and which setup best suits your situation.
Below you can view our team. We have various practitioners and via the profile pages you can read how they work. That helps to get a better feel for who best aligns with your wishes, your pace and your intention.
