PORTALISTS
port- a- lists |pôrdləsts| (noun)
1. individuals traveling instantaneously from one place or time to another
2. a creator of a door, gateway, portal, or another dimension
The Portalists curate conditions to transform the ways people experience relationships. We shift the focus in relationships to prioritize collaboration, the journey, and adventure into previously unexplored dimensions of growth. Inspired by the concept of portals we embrace exploration, curiosity, and transformation, inviting individuals and couples to step into new ways of relating.
In P1 we integrate elements of play through gamification for an experience over multiple days. This combined with exploration and travel provides opportunities to creatively develop skills needed for partnering. Individuals and couples can discover the ability to take their relationships to new levels.
Creatively develop confidence to face relationship challenges
Explore more new places together
Experience previously visited places in new ways
Discover new ways to collaborate
