proactively prepare for their future.
JOIN NOW
Confluence exists to gather, connect, and elevate couples who want it all — a strong marriage, great relationships, health, wellbeing, and a rich life as they define it.
Inside Confluence, couples receive coaching, eclectic expert education, and the refreshing support of a thriving community. Through these enriching — and often entertaining — experiences, couples grow their ability to pull their partners closer (instead of pushing them away) when life’s inevitable challenges arise.
Our unique blend of playfulness, community connection, and rich adventure creates offers an immersive experience where couples:
Affair-proof their marriages
Reduce the cost of conflict in their relationships
Grow closer through planning for challenges together
Set an example of a healthy relationship for their kids
Increase their resilience and adaptability as a couple
Confluence is a community where couples get curious,
take rewarding risks, and explore together.
Marriage and family life today isn’t anything like it was in the 1950s.
Many families now have two working parents, are blending families, or have other unique internal dynamics that don’t fit the classical mold.
Without tools that evolve with us and a fluid mindset that allows us to define what family means to us, we’ll keep trying to fit our non-traditional lives into a nostalgic family box that isn’t aligned or authentic for us.
With these evolving tools and a fluid mindset, we can acknowledge the connection between how we work and do family, break generational patterns, and focus on serving others.
It’s time we thoughtfully adapt to new ways of relating, communicating, and creating our lives together.
If you’re ready to bring a deepening understanding of yourself into your relationship in a healthy, productive, and proactive way…
AND want to apply the same intentionality to your family as you do to your business and career…
Then our strategic, non-traditional, and progressive approach to modern family life may be the perfect fit for you.
Being a partner and parent remain two of the most important ways we can create an impact in the world. When you join Confluence, you’ll commit to a personal set of values that act as a foundation on which to build your partnership and family.
We also commit to a set of values to build the Confluence community.
CONFLUENCE COMMUNITY VALUES
Proactive Generosity
Give because you have. Give because you can.
We eagerly give before expecting something in return.
Speak the Truth
Trade the easy route for honesty and watch as a
space for genuine vulnerability unfolds. We turn towards
conflict with curiosity and lean into the truth.
Make it Happen
Growth happens when you’re learning in motion.
We prioritize actionable strategies and skills.
Intentional Living
A rich life won’t happen by accident.
We take a strategic approach that creates space for quality.
Be the Student
Receive the wisdom of every experience. We foster a
community where expertise is shared peer-to-peer
The divorce rate for entrepreneurs and business leaders is 43-48% which means that even those who are typically ‘self-help’ junkies are prone to drifting apart.
Even if intimacy seems fleeting because you’re too busy getting kids out the door and building your careers and business, you can change the course of your lives and relationship. If you’ve gotten in the habit of prioritizing achievement over intimacy, you can still revive your spark. And if it feels like the growth scales have tipped, and one partner is ‘more invested’ or ‘further ahead,’ it is possible to recalibrate and get back on the same page.
Instead of tabling difficult conversations, we’ll show you how to communicate compassionately. Instead of feeling confused by your partner’s desires, we’ll help you get curious and gain clarity.
Through coaching, expert education, and experiences inside of Confluence, you’ll curate the best ways to understand each other fully, navigate life’s big moments together, and feel at peace when you need intentional and strategic solitude apart.
HOW IT WORKS
Confluence is a rolling community with a legacy and longevity focus.
Couples commit to a 12-month membership when they join.
Confluence couples receive deep, ongoing support, including:
→ Curated Connection Pods
We will place each couple in a small group with other couples sharing similar challenges and stages of life, such as couples with adolescent teen kids or caring for aging parents.
→ Virtual Group Mentorship Sessions (6 per year)
Meet with your guides, Dave and Jen, for a group coaching session to fine-tune your progress and address any bottlenecks or family concerns with a solutions-focused approach.
→ Guest Expert Deep-dives (4 per year)
A subject matter expert and thought leader will join us each quarter to share insights and actionable education around relationships, communication, parenting, intimacy, and more.
→ Private Family Strategy Sessions (up to 2 per year)
These sessions give you an intentional space to check in with yourself, your partner, and your collective goals, values, and triple bottom line. With your guides, Dave and Jen, you’ll form a strategy for your next six months.
→ In-person 3-day Retreat* (1 per year)
This destination event brings Confluence couples together for an incredible time of deliberate rest, reflection, and reorientation for the year ahead.
*Annual 3-day retreats include accommodations and the full planned experience.
We do not cover flights, transportation, or other personal expenses.

Confluence Founders
Dave Inglis and Jen Forristal.
Through their journey of dual entrepreneurship, blending a family, and building community, Dave and Jen have grown a deep appreciation for what it takes to sustain and expand a strong partnership and thriving family unit. Confluence was born from their increasing awareness of how many couples avoid difficult conversations and are missing a progressive perspective and powerful tools to be a united force for their families.
By bringing together a host of experts and incredible couples for a unique expansion experience, Dave and Jen have created an unrivaled community for eclectic personal and professional excellence.
Now, through the Confluence experience, Dave and Jen guide couples to establish their shared values, strategize their triple bottom line (the health, wealth, and relationships), and create a sustainable strategy for growing their family’s future.
Who is Confluence for?
Confluence is for couples who want to have it all: a strong marriage, thriving health, and financial wealth (we call this a couple’s triple bottom line). They understand the impact of proactive growth and maintenance in their lives and want to build their family the same way they’ve built their businesses or careers — intentionally.
Many Confluence couples are operating complex family systems, have dynamic businesses they’re juggling, and want to create more time for the parts of their lives that mean the most to them. They are also looking for couples and families to be in community with who share their values and interest in non-traditional approaches to life, career, and family.
