WHAT YOU LEARN
COMMUNICATE – You learn a language to communicate with your partner what you like and don't like.
CONNECT – You learn to connect with yourself first, before you connect with your partner.
MASSAGE – You will learn an intuitive form of massage to turn on the flow of love in the body and open it up for surrender.
DEEPEN – You will learn about female/male sexuality and about the body as a place to transform sexual energy.
RELAX – You will learn to relax around the themes of intimacy and sexuality.
WHAT YOU TAKE HOME
CONTACT – Better contact with your body and therefore more contact with your wishes and boundaries.
CONNECTION – A deeper, more vibrant connection with yourself and each other.
UNDERSTANDING – Greater understanding of how the masculine and feminine function and are equal yet different.
RELAXATION – Tips for enjoying intimacy in a relaxed way, even when time seems short.
HEALING – The ability to heal past traumas and fears related to sex and the body.
WHAT A LOVE RETREAT IS NOT
SEX – Sex can be a pleasant consequence of your renewed connection, but it's never a goal in itself and always takes place in your bedroom. There will never be any sexual activity in the group room.
INTIMATE WITH OTHERS – Everything is focused on connecting with yourself and, in a partner retreat, with your partner. You are not invited to switch partners.
MANDATORY PARTICIPATION – You're not forced to do anything; not to talk, not to do an exercise. And certainly not to do anything.
HARD WORK – A retreat is a gift to yourself and your partner. It's a mini honeymoon with delicious food and drinks in a beautiful, natural, and peaceful setting.
There is ample time for rest in between.
WHAT A RETREAT DAY LOOKS LIKE
A Love Retreat begins at the end of the day, with all the space to land.
After arriving, you can settle in, enjoy a welcome dinner, and get acquainted with the venue and its atmosphere. The first evening is all about connecting with yourself—a crucial step, as we often lose that connection as soon as we enter into a relationship with someone else.
In the morning , we always start with a dynamic meditation (pajamas are welcome) to get out of your head and into your body. After breakfast, we delve deeper into the theory of the day's theme.
In the afternoon and evening, you'll have the opportunity to practice with the provided tools under supervision. This way, you'll combine theory and experience.
In between, there's plenty of time to walk, rest, or simply be. Before the start of a program, you're always welcome to contact me with personal questions .
The final day focuses on integration: how do you take what you've felt, learned, and experienced with you? What does this mean for your life and your relationship? After lunch, we'll wrap up together, with tools to continue building on what's been created at home.
A retreat day is a gentle undulating flow between insight, experience, peace, and loving attention. A foundation for rekindling love—with yourself and with each other.
