Nestled in the heart of the vibrant, jazz-infused city, this extraordinary event promises an unforgettable experience for those who understand that love, like the notes of a jazz masterpiece, should be free to flow in its own unique rhythm.

Imagine yourself immersed in the luxurious embrace of The Ritz Carlton, where impeccable service meets the boundless beauty of polyamory. A retreat like no other, where the allure of New Orleans' soulful atmosphere blends seamlessly with the profound connections forged during your stay.

As the city's rhythm reverberates through your soul, you'll explore the complexities and joys of polyamory in a setting that oozes elegance. Unwind in sumptuously appointed rooms, savor exquisite cuisine, and allow the music of the city to serenade you into an atmosphere of celebration and self-discovery.

From sultry evenings in the French Quarter to the private workshop in the heart of the hotel, this retreat offers a unique blend of luxurious leisure and profound exploration. Relationship expert, Dr. Gregory Canillas will guide you through the intricacies of ethical non-monogamy, communication, and nurturing multiple connections with grace and intention.

Mingle with like-minded souls in a refined and welcoming ambiance, where every conversation is a step on the path to deeper understanding, growth, and intimate connection.

About the Retreat:

"Good relationships keep us happier and healthier."-Robert Waldinger, Harvard Study on Happiness

Join us at Love Wins! Poly, a lavish celebration of love's infinite possibilities. Escape to a world where luxury meets the boundless beauty of polyamory, in the heart of New Orleans' captivating charm. An experience that will leave you mesmerized, forever cherishing the richness of love and connection in a sumptuous setting like no other.

Love Wins! Poly 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 partners 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 polyamorous relationships
  • create a vision board to plan your #relationshipgoals and how to get there

Most importantly, you'll feel butterflies again when you think about the people you've committed to spending your life with.


Love Wins! Poly is run by Dr. Gregory Canillas, or Doc, as he's affectionately known. Doc is an award-winning psychologist with over 30 years of experience working with people in a variety of relationships.


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

Just see what past clients have said:

"We really had in-depth and honest conversations...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 partners values about sex and money

Develop coping methods tailored to the unique issues persons in polyamorous relationships face

Create happier outcomes from disagreements

You'll learn the same skills as those persons who spend years in private sessions. And because the retreat is limited to no more than 12 hand-selected relationships you'll get the same level of personalized attention--without completely reorganizing your calendar.

This is 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 relationship.


Love Wins! Poly takes place from July 19, 2024-July 21, 2024 at the beautiful 4-star Ritz Carlton in New Orleans, Louisiana--the perfect place to soak Southern culture and hospitality.

While you're there, admire the Ritz Carlton's unique design and classic decor. Relax with a workout in the well-equipped fitness center, have a swim in the outdoor pool, or book a massage or facial at the on-site spa. At end of the day, take in the New Orleans sunset from your private patio or while lounging by the pool.

After our sessions finish, spend some quality time together exploring everything New Orleans has to --local arts and jazz, visits to historical sites and world-class dining.
