About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

It’s pretty clear, isn’t it? A healthy lifestyle and a healthy relationship – whatever shape or form that takes for you two – go hand in hand. Also, research shows that a feeling of happiness hugely depends on the state of your relationship(s). Why is it then, that it is often the last aspect of life we actively focus and work on?

It’s easy in the beginning to get along, have fun and make amazing visions for the future. But how do you maintain that when day-to-day life comes in or when struggles come along? How do we communicate in a constructive way to challenge each other to be the best versions of ourselves? How do we avoid our own patterns & sh*t that often cloud our connection? What do we do when attraction to other humans strikes us or if we fall in love with (an) other(s)? Can we take a step back from how society expects us to function as a couple and actually choose together how we agree to relate?

Join Felix & Gertrud in a beautiful villa in Northern Portugal set amidst lush nature to focus on all things health (healthy food, daily movement, nature immersion, mindfulness). You’ll be able to leave worrying and arranging behind so that space emerges for you two to see and approach each other with fresh curiosity. As a couple, you’ll be challenged with new perspectives through open discussions but also with practical exercises. You’ll get clear on what you individually want and what you collectively desire and how that can co-exist. And, your intimacy will skyrocket (and we’re not only talking about the physical here).
