A LOVE CAMP RETREAT IS...
An in-person three-day retreat hosted and facilitated by me, Shaun Galanos, for people who want to deepen their capacity for letting go and going deep. Think of it as a day camp on love for adults.
During this unique retreat, we'll work on the stories keeping you stuck in the past, explore how to be more vulnerable in your relationships, and bring more play to your life.
You'll connect with other like-minded and hearted people in a magical setting.
If you're ready for a challenging, authentic, and fun way to grow, gently stretch your comfort zone, and write the next chapter of your life, join us.
LEARN TO LET GO AND OPEN UP
I've learned over the years that it's all about letting go and accepting.
Letting go of what you thought your life would look like. Letting go of other people and their expectations of you. And letting go of the stories that keep you small.
And accepting.
Accepting that you have loss, heartbreak, and disappointment in your life. Accepting that you're not exactly where you want to be right now. And accepting that you're a beautifully flawed human being and doing your best.
In this retreat, you'll learn to let go of the past to make space for something new, exciting, and more aligned with your desires.
And you'll do it all while having fun, connecting with like-hearted people, and being supported by a loving container.
LIVE GROUP COACHING AND
Q & A WITH SHAUN
Q&A discussions with Shaun, group coaching, and tools you can use to improve your relationships; all your questions answered.
DEEP DIVES ON LETTING GO AND OPENING UP
We'll go deep into what it means to let go, open up, and be more playful in life.
It's a (love) camp, after all!

MEET YOUR CAMP
COUNSELORS
I’m Shaun Galanos, Love Coach, Goofball, and camp counselor
Years before I made love my career, people brought their messy relationship issues to me: when to define the relationship, how to know if they like me, how to ask for what I need, etc.
Though I gave excellent relationship advice, I struggled to form healthy relationships. I fumbled through one after another, often bringing more pain and confusion than love and joy.
My struggle with healthy relationships and alcohol addiction brought me to therapy. For the first time, I found a therapist I connected with and began the journey to healing my fear of intimacy and my confusion about love.
It sounds simple, yet it took time to learn how to do it, so I returned to my roots as a relationship-advice giver to teach others what I’d learned (and am still learning) about love, intimacy, and building healthy, loving relationships.
I’ve interviewed over 100 experts and thought leaders in love with The Love Drive podcast. I became certified as a rape crisis counselor to support women's healing journey after abuse. And I obtained coaching certifications to deepen my understanding of how to serve my clients best.
After thousands of happy students and hundreds of happy clients later, I'm starting to get the hang of it! (Though I'll always be a forever student of love.)
Opening yourself to love, learning to trust again, and building a big and beautiful love is not easy work, so I’ve created a space where we’ll do it together.
Let’s make sense of it all and give you the skills to navigate relationships with clarity, courage, and confidence.
I'm Christen Poole, Relationship Coach, Photographer, and Camp Counselor

WHAT'S SO MAGICAL ABOUT SEDONA?
Some call Sedona, AZ, the most spiritual place in North America. It's known for its energy vortexes, surreal and colorful red rock sandstone formations, and stunning desert views.
It's also a great place if you want to pamper yourself with spa treatments, visit amazing restaurants, and explore the plethora of spiritual experiences Sedona offers.
To me, though, it's simply a gorgeous place to reconnect to nature through hiking, mountain biking, and finding creeks to jump into.
And while Sedona is great, the people you'll meet at Love Camp will impact you most.
OUR RETREAT SPACE
The Sedonya Conscious Living Center in West Sedona is the perfect venue for this event. While on the more hippy side of life, we'll be infusing it with lots of loving presence, grounding exercises, and a healthy dose of playfulness!
We'll do most of our gathering in the Cathedral room and we'll also have access to the beautiful outdoor grounds for eating lunch, taking breaks, and connecting with the other retreat-goers.
Join us; I think you'll love it.
