Tending Eros in Long-Term Relationships

IN THEIR WORDS…

We’ve been friends for 19 years, and lovers for 11, and we’re seeing each other in new ways. We came home with a strong feeling of connectedness and a renewed sexual spark.

Who Attends?

Our retreats are for new couples and couples that have been together for many years. We celebrate diversity in regard to age, orientation, gender, nationality and ethnicity. Participants of our retreats have been in their twenties and seventies and have come from five different countries.

Some have a vibrant sex life, but want skills to meet future challenges. Others have grown tired of the routines they’ve established and want to “spice things up.” Still others are struggling to rekindle the spark, having been in low or no-sex relationships for years.

Understandably, many people are initially intimidated by the idea of attending a retreat on sexuality. Read our articles, “Sex Retreat! Yikes!” and “From Worry to Curiosity” to hear personal stories from prior participants. Yet, once they arrive, they feel reassured that their struggles are “workable”, and not theirs alone. Most leave feeling hopeful and revitalized, having finally addressed issues that had been standing between them for months or even years.

PASSION & PRESENCE retreats are especially helpful for couples who are:

  • In a loving relationship, but having little or no sex
  • Interested in using sex for growth and transformation
  • Insecure, and possibly embarrassed, to speak openly about sex
  • Adjusting to physical changes due to aging or illness
  • Seeking more sexual exploration and play
  • Stuck in power struggles, hurt and resentment about sex
  • Dedicated to restoring, renewing or deepening their sexual relationship
  • Wanting to build a solid foundation for the years to come
