About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Summary

Most of us cycle through the same relational patterns regardless of the partner. The face changes. The experience doesn't. Something in the dynamic is being run by conditioning older than the relationship itself.
This retreat is a direct response to that recognition. It is not couples therapy, not a communication workshop, and not a spiritual bypass of the real difficulties of intimacy. It is a seven-day immersive exploration of love, relationship, and sexuality rooted in Tantric teaching, somatic practice, and precise psychotherapeutic tools — held by a facilitating couple who live this work, not just teach it.
The retreat is structured around five areas: presence and genuine contact, emotional patterns and their roots, conscious communication and conflict, polarity and erotic aliveness, and the movement toward love beyond personal need. Each area is approached through teaching, practice, partner exercises, and direct inquiry — in a setting that is safe, intimate, and free from performance pressure.
Singles and couples of any gender identity or sexual orientation are welcome. The retreat contains no nudity or explicit sexuality. The facilitators are a heterosexual couple and will draw primarily on their own lived experience — disclosed clearly so participants can assess fit.

The Retreat Experience

A Path That Starts With You

Before we can genuinely meet another person, we have to be willing to meet ourselves. The reactive patterns, the withdrawal, the need to be right: these are not character flaws. They are strategies the nervous system developed, often long before the current relationship, to manage experiences that felt unsafe. This retreat works directly with that level.

Five Areas of Exploration

• Presence, Safety, and Real Contact — staying present with yourself and another especially when things feel charged; developing nervous system safety and the capacity to meet the person in front of you rather than your story about them
• Emotional Patterns and Roots — bringing honest awareness to conditioning, childhood dynamics, and subconscious strategies that shape how we choose partners and respond to intimacy; transforming unconscious repetition into conscious choice
• Conscious Communication and Conflict — communicating honestly and skillfully, and relating to conflict without collapse, blame, or withdrawal; tension as a doorway to clarity and closer contact, not a sign that something has gone wrong
• Polarity, Pleasure, and Erotic Aliveness — exploring attraction, playfulness, and the energetics of masculine and feminine polarity; opening the body to pleasure, circulating sexual energy, and reconnecting with erotic vitality as a living force in relationship
• Sacred Intimacy and Love Beyond the Ego — how relationship and sexuality can become part of a genuine spiritual path; moving from need-based love toward something less conditional and more real

What this is not: not group therapy, not a process for people in acute relational crisis. For people who take love seriously as a
dimension of their practice and their life.

What Makes This Retreat Special

• Led by facilitators with decades of deep experience and extensive personal practice — Kyle and Sasha live together, teach together, and run Hridaya Family together; the curriculum is drawn from their own relational and spiritual practice, not a generic workshop format
• Three traditions, woven together — Tantric wisdom, non-dual spiritual teaching, and psychotherapeutic tools (Hendrix, Rosenberg, Matveev, Schnarch) integrated into a single coherent approach rather than presented as separate modules
• Open to singles and couples of all orientations — solo participants engage the material through partner exercises with fellow attendees
• Small group, intimate setting — maximum 22 participants, family-run centre, mountain pine forest
• No nudity, no explicit content — the Tantric approach to sexuality is energetic and psycho-spiritual, clearly stated and consistently maintained
