Liquid Love

We just returned from a 5day/4night stay with Marina and Elliot and found it to be an incredible experience. From our initial inquiry onward, we were pleasantly surprised at what a collaborative and tailored experience this was. Rather than a fixed itinerary and schedule we felt like everything was thoughtfully tailored just for us. We have not been to a retreat like this before so were unsure at first what to expect, but found the explanations and guidance through our stay to be easy to follow and relate to and have taken a lot away from the experience. We really enjoyed the approach of exposing us to lots of different concepts with the premise that we could retain the things we liked and discard things that didn't resonate with us. We much preferred this approach over that of somebody trying to give us a 'take it or leave it' approach trying to force their own program or approach on us.
The location and accommodations were fantastic and true to the pictures online. One of the many gems for us in this journey was the amazing food. Both of us are meat lovers, but we voluntarily tried 5 days of incredible vegetarian (mostly vegan) food and didn't once miss having meat. We didn't have any dietary restrictions or strong preferences before arriving, but did receive a pretty comprehensive food preference survey before our trip to make sure any input we might have had was taken into account in advance ...just one of many examples how Marina and Elliot really try to make this the perfect experience tailored to each couple. The incredibly delicious and nutritious food further added to the refreshed and renewed feeling that we left Tulum with. We also loved that this was an individual program for us as a couple and not a group experience. We were looking for an adventure of something new to try together as a couple celebrating a life milestone and this did not disappoint. The underwater photo shoot was really cool and Marina has a great calm and gentle approach to help make it a comfortable and fun adventure.
If I had to pick a number one thing about this trip that made it especially great, it would hands down be the facilitators (Marina and Elliot). They were great to engage with in both the unrushed approach to the facilitated exercises as well as casual conversation (over delicious food) between planned activities.
My final comment in hindsight post-experience was that this trip was a great value for us in terms of what we paid and received. We cared far more about finding a great retreat that we would enjoy rather than any sort of bargain hunting, but after experiencing this level of thoughtful attention, spacious accommodations, amazing food and tailored itinerary, we feel this was not only a great experience but also a great value.

My husband and I worked with Marina and Elliot for a 4-day/3-night couple's intensive to start our new year. From the first contact and onward, they were professional, warm, and supportive. They helped with trip planning, asked appropriate questions about our needs and comfort level, and designed a program that matched our needs and fit our personalities and backgrounds. We felt comfortable and safe with them throughout the intensive. We never thought that they were intrusive or overbearing. It was the opposite. They were warm and supportive, which allowed us to drop in and do deeper work and allowed us to connect and deepen our relationship. The underwater photography was a bonus and a lot of fun, as we've never done anything like that before. And here, again, Marina was clear with her instructions and suggestions on how to pose underwater. This was truly an unforgettable experience for us. We highly recommend this experience.
