About this retreat

This is for couples in more than one place. Some of you are good together and want to go deeper, to unlock parts of your relationship you have not reached yet. Some of you are going through a hard stretch, or a life-changing one, and need time for your bodies to decompress and your nervous systems to settle before you can come together in a loving way again. Every one of you needs the same thing first: time and space to hold each other without distractions.

So for a few days the phones are handed in every morning. You are in a private luxury resort in the hills outside Chiang Mai, with infinity pools, a spa and nothing to organise. You arrive by midday and the first afternoon is for settling. Then the days fill with practice you do as a couple: breathwork, stretching each other, water cradling in the pool, eye gazing, learning to massage each other. Around it there are open hours that are yours alone: an astrological reading, a session with Jeannie or Todd, a couples massage, the pool and the valley.

On the first full day you set your goals on your own, and the next day together. Some couples want rest and closeness. Some want to go deep. You choose the depth. The last night is a Puja, the devotional heart of tantra: an altar, candles and flowers, and each of you washes or anoints the other's feet or hands and speaks a blessing you wrote that day.

This is a conscious investment in the person you have chosen to share your life with. Every place is offered after a call with both of you.
