Milly Nave, Dr. Kalanit Ben-Ari & John Wilson
14:00-14:15
-
A warm welcome to the summit, setting intention and tone for the days ahead. The session includes a live musical performance by Milly Nave, inviting presence, openness, and connection.
Dr. Kalanit Ben-Ari
14:15-14:55
-
Why are we drawn to certain partners—and why do the same relational patterns keep showing up, even when we want something different?
This experiential workshop explores the unseen emotional map that shapes attraction, conflict, and connection. We’ll look at how unconscious attraction carries not only old patterns, but also hidden potential for growth and repair. Alongside this exploration, participants will learn simple, accessible communication tools that foster clearer understanding and more connected, grounded conversations.
Dr. Harville Hendrix & Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt
15:00-15:40
-
Love comes in two forms: romantic love and real love. Romantic love finds you, fills you with expectation and then disappoints you. Real love is nowhere to be found. It exists only when you create it. It is unconditional, without expectation, and ends yearning. It recovers “original being,” filling you with full aliveness and relaxed joyfulness. This presentation will point the way to that destination.
Milly Nave
15:45-15:50
-
Milly Nave will perform a song that gently opens the heart and invites emotional connection. Through music, she creates a shared moment of presence that helps listeners soften, feel, and tune in—to themselves and to one another.
Prof. Emmy van Deurzen
15:55-16:35
-
Across the centuries, love has been explored not only by poets and novelists but also by philosophers, understood in shifting ways from many perspectives. This presentation revisits classic and contemporary ideas of love to reawaken its meaning in our lives, reclaim Valentine’s Day as a celebration of a different kind of love, and reflect—through Bell Hooks’ words that love is “an act of will, both intention and action”—on what this might mean for the future of humankind.
Dr. Anabella Shaked
16:35-17:15
-
The Unspoken Agreement: Alderian Key to Enduring Partnership.
In this talk, we will explore the unconscious agreement that partners “sign” from the very beginning of a relationship- without realizing it.
Within this agreement lies both the couple’s greatest potential and the seed of the recurring difficulties that tend to emerge over time.
We’ll trace the roots of common relationship struggles through an Adlerian lens, and we’ll focus on the hope for change that becomes possible when partners develop greater social interest.
Elliott Connie
17:20-18:00
-
Strong relationships are at the heart of healthy families and thriving communities. This warm and encouraging presentation invites couples to focus on what brings them closer, rather than what pulls them apart.
Elliott Connie introduces a hopeful, solution-focused way of talking that helps couples build on their strengths, communicate more effectively, and create positive change together. Through real-life examples and interactive reflection, participants will discover how small shifts in conversation can lead to big improvements in connection and understanding.
This session is accessible, practical, and uplifting—offering couples tools they can immediately use to strengthen their relationship and support one another with greater clarity and care.
Dr. Kalanit Ben-Ari
18:00-18:30
-
An end-of-day exercise offering couples a direct experience of mutual attention and appreciation. Simple in form, meaningful in impact—designed to help you move into the Valentine’s evening in a grounded, connected, and intentional way.

Dr. Kalanit Ben-Ari
15:25-16:05
-
This session takes AI out of the abstract and into real relationship moments—texts you hesitate to send, conversations you dread, and feelings that come out sharper than you intend. Through live examples, you’ll see how to use AI wisely (and what to avoid) so it supports honesty, repair, and emotional closeness rather than distance. The focus isn’t on outsourcing intimacy, but on using smart tools to help you say what you mean—and land it with care.
Dr. Shefali
16:05-16:35
-
Presented at the Love in Action Summit 2025, this recorded session features Dr. Shefali’s compelling and deeply engaging teaching on conscious parenting—showing how self-awareness and mindful connection can transform relationships and foster trust, harmony, and deeper bonds with your children.
Dr. Joe Kort
16:40-17:20
-
In Cracking the Erotic Code, Joe Kort introduces erotic orientation—the unique inner map that shapes what turns us on, beyond labels or behavior. Using Imago theory, he shows how many fantasies reflect familiar emotional patterns from childhood, such as closeness, power, distance, longing, or repair. These fantasies aren’t random or pathological; they’re meaningful attempts by the psyche to work through unfinished emotional experiences in an eroticized form. Understanding this connection helps individuals and couples relate to desire with more clarity, compassion, and intimacy—rather than confusion, shame, or conflict.
17:25-18:05
Dr. Stan Tatkin
-
Why do loving relationships feel easy at times and so fragile under stress at others? In this keynote, Dr. Tatkin explains how our biology shapes feelings of safety, trust, and connection in close relationships. He shows how stress can quickly turn partners into threats to one another—and what helps couples stay grounded and connected instead. The talk offers a clear, compassionate framework for understanding love as a shared responsibility for safety and care.
Dr. Emily Morse
18:10-18:45
-
In this candid conversation, Dr. Kalanit Ben Aro sits down with Dr. Emily Morse to unpack why the pleasure gap persists and what actually helps close it. Together, they explore the cultural myths, relational dynamics, and communication breakdowns that shape sexual satisfaction. The dialogue offers practical, shame-reducing insights for individuals and couples seeking more honest, mutual, and embodied pleasure.
Milly Nave
18:50-18:55
-
Milly Nave will perform a song that gently opens the heart and invites emotional connection. Through music, she creates a shared moment of presence that helps listeners soften, feel, and tune in—to themselves and to one another.
