Massage is a wonderful way for partners to support one another through loving touch and by reclaiming our natural capacity for pleasure. We’ll learn specific massage techniques, intuitive approaches, and a way to be mindful of the intent that we put into healing touch. In a warm and supportive atmosphere, couples will explore active listening, inner balance, visualization, quiet centering, and learn how to use the body while giving massage. We’ll complement our massage time with gentle yoga, humor, meditation, stretching, breathwork, and couples postures. This fun-filled retreat is an opportunity to renew ourselves as individuals and as a couple. Come with your partner to revitalize intimacy within our relationships.
