Testimonials:
Worth it! Go!
My partner and I are always looking for ways to improve our relationship.This retreat focused on an aspect of intimacy we knew little about. We learned a lot!We learned new ways to communicate and how you slow down and focus more on eachother's bodies and minds. Julia makes you feel welcome from the getgo, even with such a private topic. She is warm and patient and kind and extremely knowledgeable. The catered food was also a very pleasant treat. Jennifer is an artist with vegan food. The importance of intimacy has become clearer to me, and I now feel motivated to create a space in my life where it's possible. The biggest surprise was the connections we made with the other attendees. It was natural and organic, and we both felt we had made true friendships.

Amazing and delightful life experience!
I was looking for new opportunities to learn about intimacy with my wife. We chose this retreat because of the location (i.e., near Joshua Tree), the content, and the Vegan meals. We learned new communication skills that lead to greater intimacy and met amazing individuals also attending. It's a rare thing to attend a retreat with this sensitive topic and meet such wonderful individuals in the process. Starting with Julia and throughout the group, everyone made you feel so comfortable that sharing sensitive (private) details was a lot easier to do and made the experience that much better. Also, having an event cater entirely to our Vegan lifestyle took so much pressure off how comfortable we would be nourishing ourselves for the activities.

It's a rare thing to attend a retreat with this sensitive topic
I am incredibly grateful for Julia's teaching and leadership during the retreat. Her openness, honesty, and positivity created an inviting atmosphere that fostered a strong sense of connection within the group. I especially appreciated her candid discussions about sexuality, which were both refreshing and enlightening. Julia encouraged us to push our physical boundaries and to openly express our emotional experiences, making the retreat a truly transformative experience. Since returning, I have been mindful of incorporating the lessons I learned into my daily routines, embracing a more tantric approach to life. I cannot thank Julia enough for creating such a trusting and supportive environment.

What's special about this retreat
A tantric retreat that focuses on elevating your relationship and intimacy to its highest potential can be a transformative experience for couples and solo participants. These retreats involve a combination of practices and exercises that help couples deepen their connection, cultivate intimacy, and explore their sexuality in a safe and supportive environment.
Your tantric retreat experience will depend on your own intentions, openness, and willingness to engage in the practices and experiences offered. It can be a unique opportunity for personal growth, connection, and self-discovery in a supportive and intentional environment.
Here are a few factors that make this tantric retreat special:
