  MARRIAGE WEEKEND RETREATS
The Couples Retreat
marriage weekend retreats, couples retreat, marriage problems, relationship problems  
     
  No relationship is perfect. Marriage problems are normal and expected, but can be daunting if you don't have the skills or solid love to help you resolve them.

Growing a relationship can be rewarding and exciting even though, at times, a bit mysterious. Knowing how to sustain connection, communicate well, and resolve relationship problems are the keys to a happy long-term relationship.

 
  Our Couples Retreat is a powerful resource, which will have lasting benefits to your relationship, offering you skills, experiential learning, and a relaxing retreat environment in which to connect and enjoy each other.  
       
  It takes skills and time to nourish and sustain a loving relationship. When you have marriage problems it is easy to feel discouraged. No one wants to feel they CANNOT solve relationship problems; you want to believe in yourself as a couple: in your love, and the strength of your intimate bond. But you cannot escape marriage problems. Given that you are human, and have conflicting needs sometimes, you and your partner are going to bump heads and hearts!

We have been studying and perfecting the art of loving relationships for over 30 years, and have been able to create environments in our couples retreat where intimate partners transform who they are for each other.

We invite you to join us for this excursion through the experience of our marriage weekend retreats, held in various program centers around the country. Transformation begins as soon as you enroll.

Sex Pleasure and Intimacy
Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health | October 8 - 11, 2010

Most of us would love to feel ecstatically at ease in our bodies, passionate in our lovemaking and close to our partners. Most of us remember a time when sexual relating was a joy. It was not difficult, not something we had to work at.

marriage weekend retreats, couples retreat, marriage problems, relationship problems  
       
  We were alive, awakened to the energy of communicating through our bodies; we were experimental, easily aroused, and we didn't worry about whether we were getting enough, how we looked or whether we were "doing it right."

In spite of all the media attention, self help books, better sex videos and our 21sth century sexual freedoms, healthy sexuality within a fulfilled relationship still seems to be mysterious and confusing.

In this program you'll join with other couples in an atmosphere of safety and fun to rediscover the sexual, sensual pleasure and passion that exists within each of us.

We'll debunk old myths and belief systems associated with sex, pleasure and intimacy and help you find your own personal style of creating sexual pleasure and intimate relating. We'll support you to relax your bodies, finding the relaxation and the fun that inherently exists in all of us as human beings and lovers. Because we have all grown up with so many images, beliefs and expectations about what sexual expression should and shouldn't be, we will also give you tools and time to explore them for yourself and then talk honestly with each other.

In this retreat you'll learn to compassionately understand each other, and even laugh together. Come, join with your lover, and let go into playful, sensual, nurturing connection. Through gentle yoga and meditation, as well as dialogue and ancient rituals of connection you will rekindle passion, rediscover your innate capacity for pleasure, and deepen the intimacy between you.

During this retreat you will:

 
 
marriage counseling team, relationship, couples counseling Increase the physical, energetic and love connections between you.
marriage counseling team, relationship, couples counseling Experience playful and fun ways to relax your bodies so every moment of connection is pleasurable.
marriage counseling team, relationship, couples counseling Learn to tune into each of your needs for touch, affection, communication, and pleasuring.
