Creating Adventures for Menopausal Couples that Keep Love in Bloom
because love was never meant to stop being an adventure
The Road Back to Us. A Couples Courting Adventure September 2026
Join us this September in the Ottawa Ontario area for our inaugural experiential Courting Adventure designed for the 40+ aged couple to connect through adventurous play as they discover the next stop, complete fascinating tasks or challenges, and create magic moments together on a fun filled dating adventure - because love was never meant to stop being an adventure.
Every couple begins with a story.
A first conversation.
A first laugh.
A first moment when something shifted and two separate lives began moving toward one another.
Then the story grows.
Love becomes a home. A family. A thousand ordinary days. Responsibilities arrive.
Schedules fill. People need things. Life moves faster.
And without anyone deciding it should happen, two people who once studied every detail of one another, can begin moving through the same days without truly stopping to see each other.
Not because the love disappeared.
Not because anything is broken.
Sometimes the road simply becomes crowded with tasks, responsibilities, and demands. Sometimes the noise gets louder than the connection between the couple.
Sometimes two people who still love one another deeply need a reason to slow down, look across the distance and say:
Oh there you are!
This adventure is not about going backward. You are not trying to become the people you once were. You have lived too much, learned too much and changed too much for that.
This experiential Courting Adventure is about finding the road that leads from where you are now... back to each other.
WHY A COURTING ADVENTURE:
We believe that there was a magical spark when you and your spouse courted each other when you were dating. Our adventures are meant to reignite that sense of awe and connection through interactive and playful experiences that will inspire couples beyond the adventure into the rest of life's journey together.
LOCATION:
Your adventure begins at home with a text message from Ember and Bloom to start your adventure together.
You will receive text messages with instructions to get to each point along your adventure where you will have a fun, creative, or interesting task or challenge to complete before receiving your next adventure stop.
THE JOURNEY:
You will be travelling to several local destinations.
At each destination you will locate the Ember and Bloom Adventure Check-In Station where you will be given an envelope with that location’s instructions, challenges, and tasks.
Once all the tasks are complete you will receive a SPARK.
Collect all of the SPARKS along your journey to receive something wonderful at the final destination – The Road Back to Us Soiree.
THE SOIREE- The Elegant Party:
The final destination is a beautiful Soiree, where you will be greeted by R&R of Ember and Bloom with delectable appetizers, signature beverages, and more magical moments at our Road Back to Us Adventure Soiree.
This will be a wonderful time of continued connection as you create a few more magical memories together.
The highlight of the Finale will be a short Keynote Presentation on Love and Marriage with a beautiful surprise for each couple.
And, you will definitely want to take a few minutes and get a snapshot or two in one of our beautiful photo sets.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1. Couples will need a vehicle to transport them to the adventure check points and the Soiree.
2. A cellular phone for each person to receive instructions along your adventure.
3. Each other to complete the tasks and challenges.
