Our Tantra for Couples (Re)Treat is a valuable gift for you and your partner through which you can slow down and rest back in your natural state. An inviting open space where you can show up in your fullness, come what may.
Our Couples Retreat offers you precious time to unwind, reconnect, love, share, enjoy, be….experiencing the power and freedom of presence.
Being in Retreat together for a few days will allow you to find deep trust in a new way of relating. Meeting each other with your moment to moment truth, whatever its appearance has a profound beauty and richness to it. In Tantra this way of relating is sometimes called Golden Love.
What are we going to do?
During this deepening Couples Retreat we will work with practices like meditation, movement, breathwork, inquiry, touch and profound Tantric practices. In a safe and open space you are invited to connect truthfully with yourself and your partner.
You can choose to do all the duo-practices together; nevertheless, experiencing a practice with someone other than your partner can be of great value.
In this retreat we will keep our clothes on.
Why would you join?
The Tantric Couples Retreat will allow you to
slow down and relax
go beyond the ‘relationship stories’ and beliefs of right and wrong
experience more freedom and aliveness
explore femininity and masculinity
savour the relief of being whole (by including your shadows and desires)
connect with each other from that place of wholeness
feel the freedom of true connection
find joy in simplicity
The whole set up of this Retreat is not to do it once and ‘scrape it off the list’. It’s an invitation for reminding yourselves over and over again of the value and beauty of true presence and intimacy. Joining this Retreat every now and then will change your way(s) of relating in a profound and joyful way.
For whom?
This small group Retreat is for (occasional) couples who are longing for true connection, for slowing down, for experiencing more aliveness and intimacy.
This intimate adventure for couples is open for men and women of all shapes and sizes (regardless of sexual orientation); (occasional) couples with a minimum age of 20 yrs.
Having some experience with personal development, meditation and/or tantra is advised. If you are having doubts whether this Retreat suits you at the moment or if you would like more information, please get in touch with Mirjam.
And if you’d like to know us and the way we work a bit better first, you could also join our accessible Tantra for Couples Day Workshop.
We will have space for a maximum of 5 couples, so reserve your spot now!
Your teachers
Mirjam Maëla
Mirjam holds a master in Psychology and is trained as a coach specialised in working with language of the body. 25 years ago she started to live more consciously by exploring Yogic practice, breathwork and Reiki. Over 18 years now she studies and practices Dzogchen (Tibetan Buddhism) mainly at Rigpa and with Jan Geurtz. Nowadays her main interest lies in Śaiva Tantra, studying and practising these profound teachings with Hareesh Christopher Wallis and Daniel Odier.
“There’s grace in the process of opening to our authentic beauty. I feel fortunate and grateful that I can provide people a safe space for exploring, releasing and expanding. Over and over again I feel a sense of wonder if I see people courageously open up to their true nature; fully embodied, intimate with all of life’s flavours”.
“Mirjam is full of wisdom to share”
— Shirin, participant
Rob de Koning | Senior Assistant
Rob is a breath coach and devoted Tantric practitioner. He is senior assistant in this Tantra for Couples Retreat.
“Tantra is increasingly revealing to me a world that has always been there; yet has gone unnoticed. A deeper world where fears and desires are, and can be, felt and where something as simple as an inhalation and sigh can bring relief and depth. In myself, and in my contact with others and the environment.”
