Intimacy Retreat

Are you longing to become more sensitive? And do you wish to bring your intimacy and sexuality to a next level? Are you ready to explore new ways to connect? Not only with yourself, but also with your partner? Then this couples retreat is for you!

This deep and unique retreat is given by Ilona and Maries, two very skilled, grounded and extremely knowledgable coaches, who can’t wait to take you into a deep dive into the world of intimacy.

This retreat is for those who long for a deep journey around intimacy and tantric lovemaking. A 5 days couples retreat for you and your beloved, in a group of maximum 5 couples. Embrace the power of massage, holistic bodywork, de-armouring, demo’s, hands on practices, rituals, breathwork  that will help you to discover all the wisdom of your body.

Our passion is to support you to open up more and to (re)connect you to your body, help to transform patterns, blockages, belief systems and trauma, so you can live your life at its full potential. You’re invited to this sacred journey into your body and its story together with your beloved. To deeply connect with yourself and from there with each other in a sacred and safe space where you can throw out emotional ballast, (re)discover who you are and how you can experience intimacy in another way. We would love to support you in opening these doors, to re awaken your senses and to remind you who you truly are. 

What to expect

This is a retreat with holistic bodywork, exercises and partner work, like mediation, breathwork, de-armouring, tantric rituals, embodiment practices and massages. During these 5 days you and your partner will work with each other and will give and receive sessions and bodywork from each other. We wish to create a space where you can experience and explore new things, but everything during these days is an invitation.

The retreat consists of a variety of tools, with the purpose of integrating body, mind and soul. Merging techniques from psychology, science and the so-called alternative and spiritual world. All complimenting each other, together with ideas and methods from old traditions, such as Shamanism, Tantra and Yoga. Creating a holistic way of working.
We’ll work with the whole body and will build this up gradually during the retreat. There will be live demonstrations and a lot of hands on practices to explore and integrate the teachings of this retreat. Morning practice, like yoga and movement practices to enhance the work. After this retreat you’ll go home with new tools and ways to relate and connect with each other and to explore and boost your intimacy and lovemaking.

Both Ilona and Maries are team members of an international team called the Gaia Method. The Gaia Method is a body-oriented modality developed by Susanne Roursgaard. The method came slowly together over a period of 30 years. Evolving from a purely therapy and de-armouring, touch focused technique into a modality that includes soft de-armouring, energy work, breath, sound and therapy.
