LOVESHIP
[ luvh-ship ] noun
- a loveship is the vehicle people take to intentionally be in partnership and collaboration with another or others for the sake of living out one's highest spiritually attuned purpose.
- a loveship is a familial relationship of choice where two or more people grow spiritually and personally.
- loveship is a journey; loveship is generative space.
However you and your loved one self-identify (spouses, partners, couple, bae-baes, wives, husbands, etc.) if the language of loveship also resonates with you then it also applies and does not exclude your particular naming. We intend it as an inclusive terminology for the expansive prismatic creativity of our love...ships.
LOVEBIRD
[luvh-burd] noun
- a lovebird is someone who soars above their current reality to reflect, release, reframe and transform, allowing Loveship (in intentional form) to emerge in their lives.
- a lovebird is someone actively enrolled in a love practice toward the home, family and partnership they desire while drawing support from an intentional community, a flock on a similar journey.
- a lovebird is in flight; a lovebird is in love.
However it is that you identify, this language is meant to be inclusive. Feel free to name yourself. And if this language does not resonate with you, we leave it to you to decide if it is worth accessing the space to gain the tools and remember your more resonant names. We intend to join in a generative journey together.
((( coming soon )))
Mobile Homecoming presents
The Loveship Paradigm
Alexis and Sangodare are drawing from the wisdom of their elders, 16 years in romantic partnership and their own spiritual practice to offer our visionary community members committed to long term love a place to grow together. Loveship is a term for committed partnership that comes to us from L.A. area family Iyanifa Ifalade and Queen Hollins. Lovebird is a term we created for folks not currently in a committed partnership with the intention of being part of a Loveship.
Our First Ever In-Person Offering:
The Loveship-Level Up Ceremony
Look at you two! You are getting ready for a big ceremony. Or preparing to bring new life into the world. Maybe you just made, or are about to make, a major life change together. Or is it a milestone anniversary? Maybe it has been a difficult season or you feel like it’s a wild unknown world and you are just glad to be in it together. We see you looking at each other wishing that you could level up your superpowers of love and support to be more powerful together than you have ever been before. Guess what? You can!
We have decided to offer the Level Up Alignment Ceremony, a tool we use to bring alignment, clarity and deeper connection to the seasons of our own partnership, to a select group of kindred Loveships (aka couples). This offering is a way to share the blessings that have been poured into us and build the foundation of the larger Loveship movement which we hope will provide tools, support and community to visionaries in partnerships all over the world.

Like Tigerlilies: Intention Setting Workshop
Based on June Jordan’s concept of the creative spirit as “nothing less than love made manifest, this workshop is for imagining and creating the most beautiful possibilities of increased love and connection in your life!
For Everyone
Free Intimacy Primer
The world we want requires more co-creation! And therefore more intimacy. Take 10 minutes and consider some preliminary concepts on the subject to help give us more language around intimacy. Though this intimacy primer is useful for everybody, it is especially intended to get you thinking about intimacy before participating in our other offerings.
WHAT
The Loveship Paradigm
Here we offer an overview of the Loveship paradigm.
A space where people in or aspiring to be in visionary love relationships can gather and be supported by their peers using tried and tested tools including the wisdom and texts of Black Feminism. There are no experts here, only Loveships that are committed to supporting one another and committed to growing the strength, vitality and impact that their Loveship can have in community, family and on the planet. This endeavor is work and requires a major investment and commitment but its bounty is exponential! We are creating a transnational fleet of Loveships, a flock of Lovebirds. We believe this work is as necessary as water, as sacred as birth and as valuable as home. Because it is home. It is homemaking.
Loveship Playdate Webinars
In this Loveship Playdate we will delve deeply and playfully into the Loveship Paradigm. The Playdates are a way to introduce the Loveship Paradigm to couples through facilitated activities. The theme of each playdate is unique. So, you can attend as many as you like. Each Loveship Playdate is an opportunity for us to be in community with one another, growing as Loveships and as a collective of Loveships across the world. If you have not attended a webinar in the past, please be encouraged. The love really does flow as we gather, share and affirm one another online. In this 2-3hr online playdate (aka webinar) we begin the work of practicing Love as a collective of queer romantic partnerships.
The Loveship Paradigm taps into the truth we find in June Jordan's words - Love is Lifeforce - and shares the tools to unfold Love in practice robustly throughout the world by sharing relationship tools.
We are so excited to share with you what our elders, teachers and experience has provided us. We get the greatest joy out of holding space for other Queer Loveships and witnessing you as you apply the principles and use the tools with such sweetness and genius!
