    s lewinsav2025Co-hosted by The Relationship Architect, Shelley Lewin and Enneagram practitioner and master coach Sav Goldridge, this retreat is for individuals (regardless of relationship status) and couples who are ready to transform how they relate - to themselves and others. Through a carefully curated blend of guided teaching, reflective exercises and experiential group practices, you will begin to design your relationships more consciously – creating greater health, fulfilment and resilience - rather than repeating patterns by default.

    Grounded in Shelley’s Uncomplicated Love framework, enriched by the wisdom of the Enneagram, Shelley and Sav will guide you to:

    • Understand the underlying dynamics of healthy, intimate relationships
    • Greater clarity on what aligned, meaningful connection looks like for you
    • Break free from unconscious and unhelpful relational patterns
    • Develop practical tools for skilful communication and constructive conflict
    • Strengthen your sense of agency in how you build and sustain connection

    This weekend is about transforming how you relate - to yourself, to others, and to the life you are creating. A copy of the book Uncomplicated Love: A step-by-step guide for building a thriving relationship can be purchased at an additional charge of R250.00.

    Shelley Lewin is a specialist in personal and professional relationship development. Since 2006, as The Relationship Architect she has partnered one-on-one and two-on-one with growth-minded couples, senior decision makers in Fortune 100 companies and high-performing leaders, equipping them with the tools to navigate relationships with clarity and purpose. As the author of Uncomplicated Love: A step-by-step guide for building a thriving relationship, her writing is featured across print, digital media, TV, and radio. Shelley's signature retreats are based on ‘the art, science, and practices of love’ outlined in her book- providing a practical yet transformative framework for couples to engage in immersive experiences designed to heal, strengthen, and elevate their relationships. She lives in Cape Town with my husband of 20 years and her Burmese cat, Beanie, while her teenage son pursues his dream of becoming a PGA tour-ready golfer in the U.S. She finds joy in nature, walking barefoot on Muizenberg Beach, listening to podcasts on human potential, and continually deepening her understanding of what it means to love and lead authentically with an alignment of head and heart.

     Sav Goldridge, is a master credentialled coach with more than 6500 hours of experience, which includes working with couples, families, C-Suite Executives, Leaders, individuals and teams within multiple organisations and industries across South Africa and internationally. Reading Sandra Maitri's book, "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram - Nine Faces of the Soul” in 2011 marked the beginning of a profound resonance with the spiritual and psychological aspects of the enneagram. The pages of her book unveiled a deep connection to Sav's Enneagram type, illuminating how she had learned to both survive and thrive by unconsciously disowning parts of myself. This profound revelation became a catalyst, propelling her onto a personal odyssey and a passionate love affair with the Enneagram. She is passionate about authentic expression, conscious connections with Self, others and the natural world and creating awareness of neurodiversity and the impact of trauma. As a neurodivergent thinker and speaker, she shares her life story of overcoming challenges such as rape, extreme poverty and abuse, and thriving despite developmental trauma and adverse childhood experiences.
