LIVE COUPLE’S RETREATS

Live Couple’s Retreat in Soller, Mallorca, Spain

JUNE 4-8,2025

Embark on a Transformative Journey of Mindful Sexuality

Join us for an enriching five-day retreat designed to deepen your connection and awaken your erotic potential. Through guided exploration of mindful sexuality, we’ll help you identify and overcome the obstacles that may be limiting your pleasure and presence. 

Discover how to address unconscious beliefs that stifle desire, creativity, and engagement, and gain practical tools to foster pressure-free, exploratory intimacy.

This immersive experience invites you to move beyond conventional views of sex, embracing a more expansive understanding of eroticism. You’ll learn a simple yet powerful 4-step practice to navigate triggers with skill, transforming intimate moments to align more closely with your desires. Together, we’ll explore ways to minimize disappointment and ease performance anxiety, with a focus on cultivating Awakened Intimacy—an approach that encourages curiosity, compassion, and conscious exploration of sexual challenges.

In addition to group activities, you’ll engage in private home-play exercises customized to your comfort level. Whether you prefer staying fully clothed, limiting touch to specific areas, or exploring more freely, the program is designed to foster ease and curiosity. Each couple will also benefit from a private 30-minute session tailored to their unique needs.

To support your continued growth, we offer a two-hour online follow-up session, scheduled three to four weeks after the retreat. This session provides an opportunity to reflect, address any lingering questions, and reinforce your progress.

Facilitators:

Maci Daye, creator of Passion and Presence, and her husband, Halko Weiss, have together led over 50 couples’ retreats around the world.

The curriculum will be customized based on participants’ needs. To help us tailor the experience, you’ll complete a questionnaire before the retreat.
