Best Couples Retreats

In today’s fast-paced world, we have the latest smartphones, beauty treatments, and countless remedies to navigate our busy lives, but deep down, we’re missing something. No matter whether we’re deeply spiritual or take a more secular approach, we’ve overlooked our need.

Our need for love, intimacy, and sex. 

When we are well-loved, we inevitably give love to those around us. It is like having enough food or enough money to meet all your needs; you just naturally want to share. 

When we lack, however, we withdraw and seek answers in all the wrong places. Instead of prioritizing love, sex, and intimacy, many of us succumb to social pressures that encourage us to be sexier, richer, prettier, and smarter. 

We buy into the idea that our happiness will result from getting that dream body, house, lover, family, job, bank account, and on and on. Surely everything would be perfect then, right? 

It’s hard to resist these ideals and expectations in this competitive culture. By struggling to live up to them, many of us find ourselves stressed out, overworked, in debt, dealing with strained relationships, or searching in vain for a partner. 

Somewhere along the line, the formula for “success” and “happiness” has gone awry and is taking us further away from what will actually soothe us. For many, the new age movement has offered alternative solutions to this growing dissatisfaction with materialistic lifestyles. 

Yet this, too, can encourage us to strive for impossible ideals. These “enlightened” paths imply that we are not there yet. By seeking some kind of “enlightenment,” you may lose sight of the fact that you have everything you need right in front of you. You already are a living, breathing, perfect expression of life. You don’t need to attain it—you are it! 

However, this type of living is easier said than done, so there are retreats and workshops to help you exist and ground yourself in your current reality with your partner. 

Retreats offer a practical, sincere guide to living, think of it like the self-help book to end all self-help books. The practice offered in retreats are derived from timeless wisdom that provides the essential knowledge and the practical steps to implement your real needs and desires. 

Remember, happiness arises when you relax into the reality of your natural condition. This intimate participation in your life is the greatest gift you can give yourself and everyone around you and the best model you can offer your children and your community. 

We recommend you pick one, be present, and learn to live!
