ABOUT US
Solas:Solas was created to give couples a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect — without pressure, performance, or pretense.Curated by Jitesh Patel, a certified Gottman Leader and longtime partner himself, our retreats and sessions are grounded in research-backed practices, especially The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. These principles offer clear, practical ways to strengthen connection, build trust, and navigate the everyday challenges of partnership.But we don’t stop at relationship tools. The learning is complemented by holistic and playful experiences — moments shared in nature, creativity, and movement — designed to bring joy, ease, and a deeper sense of togetherness.
OUR APPROACH
We believe connection is something you return to through presence, curiosity, and simple everyday choices — the way you listen, respond, and make space for each other.Our sessions are shaped by the Gottman Institute's 7 Principles of making marriage work, blended with creative, physical, and sensory experiences that help couples reconnect in a way that feels both natural and lasting.Each escape is guided by the same principles: presence, curiosity, creativity, and care. We blend research-backed relationship tools with holistic practices, movement, stillness, and meaningful conversation. Nothing is one-size-fits-all—everything is shaped around where you are and where you want to go, together.Our spaces are private, personalised, and deeply intentional. From breathwork and couples’ massage to visioning exercises and sound healing, each moment is designed to help you reconnect—not just through words, but through energy, joy, and shared experience. This is relationship work—but it’s also relationship celebration

THE THREE QUICKIES
Three bite-sized but powerful experiences to help you understand yourself—and each other—a little better. Do one, do them all. Each one gives you something to take home and try.
Quicky 1 : Lovers & Fighters
We all have our own way of loving—and clashing. In this session, you'll each discover your primary love language and your go-to conflict style. You’ll see what lights you up, what shuts you down, and how the two of you tend to react under pressure. The aim? To better understand how you give and receive love, and how to stop the same argument from looping again and again.
Quicky 2: The Reset
Ask yourself what you really want—your desires, your goals, the things you haven’t said out loud yet. Then, through guided prompts, you’ll share, align, and create one shared board that reflects what truly matters to you both. It’s a pause-and-reset moment, especially if life’s felt a bit like a blur lately. More than anything, it gives you a shared roadmap—a visual reminder of where you’re heading, together.
Quicky 3: 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work
Drawn from decades of research by the Gottman Institute, this session explores what successful long-term couples actually do differently. We’ll walk through core principles like building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning. You’ll leave with practical tools to use immediately—at home, in conversation, or even mid-argument. Less theory, more “why didn’t anyone teach us this sooner?”
