Love Wins! is a weekend-long couple retreat that combines LGBTQ+ specific coaching with a luxurious resort experience.

About the Retreat:

Couples, be honest--Do you feel like you and your partner are speaking different languages?

Are you more like roommates than lovers? Can't find the middle ground between penny-pinching and splurging?

Struggling to thrive as an LGBTQ Couple in a heterocentric world?

Ever wish your relationship came with a "How To" Manual?

You're not alone. Even if you've been together since before "Netflix and Chill" was a thing, creating a successful partnership is challenging.

But just because improving your relationship requires work, doesn't mean it has to be hard.


Love Wins! is a fun, interactive weekend retreat designed to help you identify and correct the core issues plaguing your relationship so you can live a happier, healthier life together.

During the retreat, you and your partner will learn how to

  • communicate using the Rosetta Stone of Relationships-the love languages
  • crank up the heat in the bedroom
  • reach a happy money medium
  • manage stressors unique to LGBTQ couples
  • create a vision board to plan your #couplegoals and how to get there

Most importantly, you'll feel butterflies again when you think about the person you've to spend your life with.


Love Wins! is run by Dr. Gregory Canillas, or Doc, as he's affectionately known. Doc is an award-winning relationship psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with couples.


He's already helped hundreds of couples build happier and healthier relationships.

Just see what past couples have said:

"We really had in-depth and honest conversation...it was truly a safe space for all of us to learn, grow, challenge, and share our thoughts as well as experiences. I feel changed."

"Dr. Canillas brilliantly brings out the best in our shared knowledge and experiences. (He) validates our experiences. We left better prepared, hopeful, and rejuvenated with fresh ideas."


Through hands-on activities, engaging lectures, and exciting games, you'll...

Discover how childhood and family traumas are harming your relationship

Reignite your passion for one another

Understand your partner's values about sex and money

Develop coping methods tailored to the unique issues LGBTQ couples face

Create happier outcomes from disagreements


You'll learn the same skills as couples who spend years in private sessions. And because the retreat is limited to 12 hand-selected couples, you'll get the same level of personalized attention--without completely reorganizing your calendar.


If you're determined to be that adorable old couple in the park who everyone swoons over, a weekend away is all it takes. A weekend to prioritize your health and well -being. A weekend to tear up your "to-do" list and to put your phone on airplane mode. A weekend to truly dedicate yourselves to improving your couple.


Love Wins! takes place from November 1, 2024-November 3, 2024 at the luxurious 4-star Hyatt Hotel in Palm Springs, California .


While you're there, admire Hyatt's modern design touches. Step out of the hotel and onto North Canyon Drive, where you will enjoy unique shops and delicious dining options. Relax with a workout in the well-equipped fitness center or take a swim in the beautiful and relaxing pool.

After our sessions finish, you create your itinerary. Explore everything the Hyatt and Palm Springs has to offer including the relaxing spas, the Palm Springs Art Museum, interesting art galleries, and world-class dining.

Your Love Wins! Weekend Retreat includes:

Love Wins! 14-hour Workshop (10 modules over three days) and workshop materials

2 nights in a well-appointed King suite

Curated "Goodie Box", sure to make you hang up the "Do Not Disturb" sign
