AWAKENED INTIMACY for Couples
WHY US?
How are we different from other retreats?
Are you wondering if this is the right couples retreat for you? If so, consider these touchstones to see if we are a good fit:
Our specialty is helping you update your sexual operating system.
Sexual problems often have little to do with sexual function or poor technique and a lot to do with what encodes the “operating systems” of our erotic lives. These beliefs and mindsets are based on early learning and past experiences. We’ll show you how to access and transform these deep imprints to heal and grow together.
We make no false promises; there is no formula for sexual satisfaction that will endure through every season. In all long-term relationships, sex becomes complicated. Instead of resisting, fixing, or ignoring our real-life struggles, we can plumb our depths (gently and mindfully) to discover what is standing between us and our pure erotic potential.
It’s a paradox that we can open up to more creativity, freedom, and self-expression by befriending our difficulties.
Mindfulness is central to everything we do. Maci, Halko, and Julia have practiced and taught mindfulness for decades. As a couple, Maci and Halko use it to deepen their emotional and sexual connection every day.
While mindfulness teaches us how to be with real-life in a curious and accepting way, we also incorporate proven ways to transform based on brain science. Maci is a psychotherapist and certified sex therapist. Julia is a kink-aware psychotherapist and somatic experiencing practitioner. Halko is a psychologist and master couple’s therapist. The three of us are also trainers of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy. Our expertise includes navigating desire issues, the effects of aging and illness on genital function, alternative love styles, and sexual trauma.
Again and again, we hear that teaming up around sex and the felt sense of “being in it together” is the biggest “takeaway” of Passion and Presence.
Even the most loving couples end up arguing, defending, blaming, or hiding from each other. We get it; we’ve been there too. When you recognize that you are engaging in understandable “protective patterns,” you can begin to hold hands through the hard stuff. Helping you connect around divisive issues is our priority, whether inside or out of the bedroom.
You won’t find diagnoses or judgment here. We aren’t “fixers.” We are gentle, non-pathologizing, sex-positive, and trauma-sensitive.
Roles, norms, and labels are changing rapidly, and we’re in confusing yet exciting times filled with uncertainty and possibility.
We celebrate that our experiences are unique, and in doing so, we can access our innate sense of wisdom, compassion, and aliveness.
