What we’re about
We support couples seeking a deeper connection to embody the skills and full foundations for consciously growing together so they can experience a love and intimacy that endures and continuously deepens.
When Roger and I launched Uncovering Us FREE Workshop, we wanted to create a space where couples could explore what lies beyond the surface-level connection, loosen old habits, and find a new depth in each other. As we listened to couples in our masterclasses, hundreds of different names and faces, the underlying questions were all the same.
"Where did the closeness go, and how do we get it back?"
"Why does it feel like we’re stuck in the same conversation on repeat?"
"Are we building a life together or just managing one?"
WE’VE HEARD THIS BEFORE
For the last few years, we’ve start most of our sessions with a simple question, like so: “Can you tell us a little bit about what you’re struggling with?”
And so often, the answers sound like this:
“We still love each other, but we don’t know how to connect anymore.”
“I just want them to see me—to actually see me.”
“Our days are full, but our connection’s running on empty.”
“We’re stuck in this argument loop we can’t seem to break.”
“My partner’s neurodivergent, and it feels like we’re speaking different languages.”
“We keep dancing around the hard stuff. I’m tired of pretending.”
“We’re too young to feel this distant, to live like two people passing by.”
It’s always the same undercurrent: the search for intimacy, for being seen and understood, not just loved. It’s about the distance that grows in silence, the space that fills with unasked questions, and the quiet ache of wanting something more.
INTIMACY ISN’T ALWAYS WHAT IT SEEMS
Back then, we urged “Alyssa” to dig deeper, to look beyond what was being said. Intimacy, or the lack of it, is often the first sign—a signal that something more is going on beneath the surface.
When people come to talk to us about distance in their relationship, intimacy is just the doorway. But what we’re really talking about are the understories—the quiet layers that tell the real tale:
The moments of silence where words fall short
The ache of feeling close but misunderstood
The courage to speak truths that have never been said
Vulnerability, raw yet meticulously shared, without retreat
The subtle ways we hold back, and the reasons why
Listening—not to respond, but to truly hear
Trust that goes beyond promises, built through showing up
The uncharted territory between “I love you” and “I see you”
Understanding the parts of each other that are flailing or walling off
Learning to stay open when it’s easier to close off
IS THIS NORMAL?
It’s surprisingly common for couples to hit stages where they begin to feel worlds apart, even with love still in the room. So often, couples show up certain that the “real issue” is the constant arguing—or the quiet that’s taken its place.
First, we encourage them to think of it less as ‘the problem’ but as an alert signal that something deeper is at play.
Second, we let couples know that we’re going to address both - the dynamic they are in and the patterns underlying it.
Third, we assure them we’re not only going to explore the patterns underlying their relationship… we’re also going to explore and experience new patterns where they actually connect and meet deeply, in ways they haven’t before… and that’s alot more fun. Because it’s not just about addressing what’s hurting; it’s about having the tools and exercises that take the pressure off, enabling you to connect in ways that work, knowing how to slow down and communicate, and heal and reveal the depths of an intimacy with oneself and each other that feels alive, engaging, and fully real.
LET’S GO DEEPER TOGETHER:
In this class, we’re going to tackle:
- The hidden dynamics that hold us back from real closeness
- The unspoken patterns that keep intimacy at arm’s length
- The small but transformative practices that help us find each other again
THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL WEBINAR
-
You’ll be guided step-by-step through a LIVE, experiential process — an inside look at what’s possible for your next steps in relationship.
-
In this session, you won’t just learn; you’ll experience. You’ll leave with multiple examples, practical tools, and frameworks to apply them.
Hi, we’re Antonia & Roger Vanoro.
As a married couple and co-creators of Sacred Partnership, we’ve guided couples through the intricate terrain of lasting intimacy. We’ve seen new love, decades-long love, love that’s lost its way, and love ready to transform. And we’ve learned one thing for sure: intimacy is an adventure, and it only works when you’re both ready to dive in.
For some couples, that means:
“Conversations don’t feel like battles. They feel like breakthroughs.”
“It’s like our love grew up with us, finally.”
“I didn’t know honesty could feel this safe.”
“We’re not afraid of the hard stuff anymore. We know it’s where the gold is.”
“We went from ‘How was your day?’ to ‘Who are you becoming?’”
“Feels like we’ve got each other’s backs in a whole new way.”
So, let’s start here. This is your invitation to set aside the need for “perfect” and step into what’s real—what’s truly possible between you both.
Let’s go deeper, together.
