Day 02

The Erotic Embodiment

Day 2 of this experience is all about connection, communication, and sexual expression - it's diving into the uncomfortable places that you want to look away from, learning to speak your needs and desires - in and out of the bedroom - and giving yourself permission to THRIVE. This is not just about polarity, it's about personal responsibility.

Here we will lay foundations for new levels of clarity and communication, begin drafting your declarations of intent for this new chapter of your lives, creating clear relational agreements that expand connection through challenging moments... and finally, we will spend the afternoon and evening diving into tantric connection practices and demonstrations that will shatter the preconceived notions of whats possible in intimacy and lovemaking, and show you a new potential reality where all your needs and desires are met, and exceeded. 

Module 04

Closing the Portal

On our 4th day together we will close out the experience with a delightful brunch, a few games, and send you off on your adventures with as much love and pleasure as we can muster. You will leave with a completely new understanding of your relationships, a more precise understanding of your own relational blueprint, and a pathway for connection, communication and cultivation of love, passion and pleasure than ever before. 

We invite you to stay with us for the morning until at least noon to enjoy the full experience and give yourself time to transition gracefully into the next moment of life. 

We also highly encourage you all to take a day or 2 to rest and rejuvenate at the end of this experience, to marinade in the love bubble you've created before divine into the busyness and wildness of life outside these walls.  

Why This Retreat Is Different:

This isn’t a retreat that teaches you how to “do intimacy” better. This is a full-body, real-time upgrade to how you be love in every breath you take.

You’ll leave with:

• Deep somatic awareness of your relational patterns and how to shift them

• Clear, embodied communication tools that dissolve confusion and build trust, over and over again.

• Skills to move through conflict into more connection, more love, and hotter sex, every time.

• Relational agreements that support your growth and your love in a continuing upward spiral.

• A refined sense of erotic leadership and responsiveness.

• A nervous system that feels safer, more grounded, and more open to love.

And yes—better sex. Even if it's already SO good.
Because when you stop performing, projecting, and defending, even subtly; when you learn to truly let go, surrender and relax... what’s left is a raw, devotional, honest eroticism.

 EPIC LOVE.

 There's something we both asked for before we ever met one another, we both called it EPIC LOVE, and we both committed to never settling for anything less.

When we came together we had both traversed decades of challenging relationship, spent years studying with masters in their fields across all the areas we knew we needed to - from tantra and sacred sexuality to neuroscience and the art of communication. We dove deep, healed our wounds as best we could, and grew into the people who could truly hold this prayer for love - until we knew there was only one way left to heal the rest - the container of a deeply loving, healthy, securely attached relationship.

Not only did we find that; we found in each other a partner who had the exact keys and codes we needed - who each held the other half to the teachings we had mastered, and who could guide us further into ourselves and into love than we could have ever found alone. 

We have both grown and healed, and continue to, and we have come to a place where the only logical next step is to teach, so here we are.
