This uplifting
retreat is for intimate partners who want more creativity, passion
and alive-ness, in their relationship journey together. Increasing
or reawakening lost passion in our relationships means taking time

and learn to appreciate our differences.

you can imagine. Take time for fun, pleasure, and deep dialogue in

incorporate daily skills to melt power struggles and experience your

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: |
|
| |
 |
Increase the physical, energetic and
love connections between you. |
 |
Experience playful and fun ways to relax your bodies
so every moment of connection is pleasurable. |
 |
Learn to tune into each of your needs for touch,
affection, communication, and pleasuring. |
 |
Understand the bio-physiology of sex, freeing yourself
from judgments and anxieties about your sexual differences. |
 |
Deepen your communications about your sexual needs,
wants, and preferences through a powerful dialogue where you will
both be heard and understood. |
 |
Explore and release limiting belief systems about
sex, pleasure, and intimacy. |
 |
Create a shared vision of a healthy, fulfilled relationship
with full expression of your sexual and sensual selves. |
 |
Deepen the intimacy between you by slowing down
and nurturing each other. |
