| MARRIAGE WEEKEND RETREATS The Couples Retreat |
 |
||||||||||||||||||
| 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.

Creating Joy
and Passion Together: A Retreat for Couples We believe the key to joy and passion in your relationship is your ability, as partners, to bring mindful awareness to all your interactions — whether verbal, physical, soulful, playful or even conflictual. |
 |
||||||||||||||||||
| During
this retreat we will focus on the art of relational presence — slowing
down, creating sacred space together, letting go of agendas and goals,
and discovering ways to bring deepened pleasure and aliveness to
your partnership.
Through safe experiential exercises, we'll explore old and new ways to dialogue, listen, touch, move, play, and even look at one another. We'll also understand how love and intimacy are basic human survival needs, and how the smallest interactions can support or hinder, the connection with our beloved. You will learn and experience: |

the gift of nourishing your co-creative intimacy and love, and leave
this weekend with renewed friendship and reawakened passion for each
other and your life! Learn more...
This program is an excellent complement to Deepening Your Love and can also be taken on its own. It is appropriate for couples of any length of commitment, any age, and any sexual orientation. |

Sex Pleasure and Intimacy 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. |
 |
||||||||||||||||||
| 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: |
