Step into a sacred weekend of exploration, connection, and embodied awakening.

What if intimacy no longer felt confusing?

What if you felt deeply connected to your body, confident expressing your desires, and truly safe to open to pleasure, connection, and love?

So many people long for deeper intimacy, more passion, more aliveness, and more authentic connection — yet feel disconnected from their bodies, unsure how to communicate what they want, afraid of vulnerability, or caught in cycles of shutdown, shame, or disconnection.

This retreat is designed to help you change that.

Exploring Eros is an immersive transformational experience that helps individuals and couples reconnect to their bodies, awaken their aliveness, deepen emotional and erotic intimacy, and experience greater freedom, confidence, joy, and connection in their relationships.

Through guided experiences of conscious touch, communication, embodiment, and relational exploration, participants gain practical tools and embodied experiences that support:

  • Deeper connection to self and partner
  • Greater confidence expressing desires and boundaries
  • Increased pleasure, aliveness, and vitality
  • More safety and trust in intimacy
  • Release of shame, fear, and performance pressure
  • More compassion, curiosity, and understanding in relationships
  • A deeper sense of freedom, authenticity, and erotic self-expression

This retreat is not about sex.

It’s about presence.

Connection.

Safety.

Playfulness.

Authenticity.

And remembering that your body is not broken — it is intelligent, sacred, and capable of profound pleasure, healing, intimacy, and aliveness.

You’ll leave feeling more open, empowered, connected, hopeful, emotionally alive, and equipped with practical tools to create more fulfilling intimacy and relationships long after the retreat ends.

Eros is not just about sexuality.

Eros is life force.

Passion.

Vitality.

Connection to being fully alive.

And this retreat is an invitation to come home to that aliveness within yourself and your relationships.

Couples and singles are welcome. All practices are invitational, with clear guidance to support sovereignty and mutual respect.

Testimonials from June 2026 Retreat:

“I deeply appreciated the immaculately held container – the safety, love, care, and presence that surrounded the entire weekend. It created such a powerful space for openness, vulnerability, healing, and connection. I was surprised by the felt sense of calm and safety from the start.

I was also surprised by how quickly the intimacy and trust within the group developed over the course of the weekend. It felt remarkable that a group of relative strangers could feel so deeply connected in such a short time. Given the depth of the practices around consent, touch, boundaries/safety, and authentic expression, I can see how thoughtfully this retreat was designed to support real connection.” Lance, PA

“Based on how many people commented to me on my changed countenance as we closed out the retreat and went our separate ways, I believe it may be obvious how much joy I was able to reconnect with this weekend. I, too, was shocked that such opening could happen in such a short stretch of time.” Lauren, NY

“The invitation and calling to those wants and needs, those desires so deeply hidden, silenced locked away with shame, fear and loathing of our creativity, our beauty, our life force… No one has ever offered me the keys to open those places within myself as was this past weekend. I can feel the walls around my heart crumbling. The light and love from Niav, Mary and Dan… healing hurts and wounds I didn’t even know I had. (WANTS!) I didn’t know I had! I’ve been to many retreats, this was by far the best I’ve ever been to!” Izzy, CT
