A Lifelong Investment in each other.

When was the last time you spent a weekend focusing on what is one of the most significant relationships in your life?

Are you finding that there isn’t “enough time” to connect deeply with your partner?

Do you have repetitive issues and challenges that seem to arise in your relationship?

Have you found that you are feeling more and more distant and disconnected from your partner?

Has the passion faded?

If yes to any of the above, this weekend retreat is designed for YOU!

This 2 1/2 day private weekend getaway is an opportunity to:

• Deepen your love for your partner by having an opportunity to slow down and really “see” each other,
• Bring light to repetitive patterns.
• Help to learn more about yourself, your partner, and your relationship.
• Grow closer together.
• Receive months of concentrated help in a single weekend

This retreat will provide a unique opportunity for couples to immerse themselves in an intensive environment to focus solely on their relationship. The retreat will provide couples with the tools & skills for relationship maintenance, to improve communication, and work on building healthier patterns in your relationship. We will utilize various techniques including: Partner & Restorative Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Thai Yoga Massage and Sensate Focus.

In this retreat we will delve into:

• How to communicate consciously and mindfully to: repair conflict and rupture, enhance emotional vulnerability and closeness, learn to ask for what we need and what we don’t, and how to listen to understand rather than response.
• How we can use physical touch and gentle movement to: increase intimacy, affection, and learn to distinguish between sensuality and sexuality, and how to use your bodies as a way to connect to playfulness and relaxation.
• How to identify and understand your individual values, your partner’s values, and the values of your relationship to: recognize where incongruous goals can arise, create greater understanding in terms of priorities, and to clarify the direction your relationship wants to forward to.
• Learn what patterns and past experiences contribute to discord in your relationship and create barriers to closeness and depth of connection.

Include: 2-nights accommodations, 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 1 dinner by a private chef, (1 night dinner on own for Date Night), meditation, yoga, and group therapeutic work led by clinical therapist.
