Meet Your Hosts: Mishka & Emil
We met as solo travelers exploring southern India, and what started as a travel romance quickly became something deeper, a shared commitment to learning, growing, and building a life with intention.
A few months into our relationship, we started a weekly check-in ritual to prioritize communication and connection. We’d both seen too many relationships fall apart, and we knew we wanted something different, something built to last. That small practice became the foundation of Love Ritual.
Mishka is a Spiritual Life & Business Coach, and Emil is a Software Engineer at Disney together, we blend mindfulness and practicality to create simple, effective tools for every kind of couple.
Through research, practice, and guidance from relationship experts, we discovered one key truth: consistent, intentional check-ins are the foundation of thriving relationships. And now, we’re honored to share this with you.
Join us for How to Make Love a Ritual, where we’ll share the powerful yet simple practices that transformed our relationship, so you can strengthen yours.

His approach is grounded, present, and attuned, supporting couples in exploring intimacy, trust, and self-awareness with respect and integrity.
Together, Elise and Andy bring a beautiful balance of depth, warmth, and embodied wisdom to the Love Ritual Retreat.
What People Are Saying...
“We’ve been married for over 20 years, and for the first time in a long while, we feel like we have a clear and meaningful format for deepening our connection. Attending a live Love Ritual workshop helped us slow down, really listen to each other, and reconnect in a way that felt natural and supported. We’re so grateful to have this structure and excited to see how it continues to unfold in our relationship.”
— Love Ritual Workshop Participants
“Love Ritual is such a powerful tool for getting to know both your partner and yourself more deeply. I love that there’s an intentional check-in format to follow. It takes the pressure off of figuring out how to communicate and instead offers guidance that feels supportive and clear. It makes deep conversations feel accessible rather than overwhelming.”
— Love Ritual Beta App Tester
“I loved how the Love Ritual workshop created a space for intentional couples to come together. It was really powerful to be surrounded by people who take their relationships seriously and genuinely want to go deeper.
What stood out most was the diversity of relationships in the room. Some couples were married, some dating, some engaged, and others expecting children. Everyone was in a different stage, yet one thing was clear. Open communication and intentional time together truly make a difference. That shared commitment made the experience incredibly meaningful."
