About the Workshop
The retreat offers elements of both
sacred sexuality and
conscious relationship for integrating body, mind, heart and soul.
It is an opportunity to connect
deeply with yourself, your lover and the divine. It is a magical time away from the world and
into each other--a time to share with like-minded travelers on the path to awakening and joy.
We create an atmosphere of safety and respect for you to explore your sexual/spiritual/relationship
connection. There are frank, open, detailed discussions about sexuality, intimacy, and communication.
The sessions are very lively and experiential,
but there is no sexual activity or nudity in group activities.
The week's topics are developed to meet the
needs and desires of the participants who attend. We talk to you to as we're planning
the timetable to find out what you want
to learn and experience
depending on your knowledge base and skill level. We work with
all levels of proficiency in sacred sexuality, from novice to experienced practitioner.
We also schedule time during the retreat to meet with each couple individually to talk about how the
workshop is progressing for you and if there is anything you want more clarification or
instruction about.

rockers to the thrum of the ocean's pulse

below, take a trip into town to explore the shops, relax by the pool with a book
and your beloved as you sip a fresh frosty pina colada

tastebuds. Lively conversation stimulates your mind. Good companionship warms your heart.
- Early evening celebrations reach deep into your imaginal realm bringing laughter and
playful awakening

you're feeling adventuresome make an outing to the casino in nearby Playas del Coco. Finally sink into
your feather bed for a night of deep, restful sleep.
Details: Accommodation, Food & Drink, Fees
Accommodation
Villa Paraiso (Paradise Villa), a private luxury eight bedroom, eight and a half bath villa, is
located on Playa Ocotal, nestled on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the
Bay of Papagayo. It has a large infinity swimming pool with spacious patio surrounded by palm trees
and flowers. Bask in the sun or recline in the cool shade curled up in oversize rocking chairs.
All bedrooms are air conditioned,
have an ocean view, and face the pool. The living room is furnished
with custom furniture, a large 27" television, VCR, and a
super stereo system with CD, cassette player, and outside speakers. The villa staff (cook, houseboys,
maid and gardeners) are wonderful: conscientious, caring and friendly. They always treat us royally.
See more pictures here.
All of the bedrooms are luxurious and spacious and
have wonderful views of the pool and ocean. Six of the bedrooms have king beds, one has two queens, the other has two doubles. All beds have comfortable feather matresses to ensure that your sleep is as
wonderful as your waking hours are at Villa Paraiso. Each bedroom is uniquely decorated and furnished with an individual
theme and has an adjoining
private bathroom. Set your own air conditioned temperature or
turn off the air and sleep under the gentle breeze of ceiling fans.
See pictures of the rooms here.
The view from the villa is one of the most beautiful in the world and has been featured in several magazines,
including
"Southern Living" and
"Conde Nast Travel". The magnificent coastline here reminds
many of California's famous Big Sur country. It takes your breath away every morning as you awaken to its splendor.
The weather is especially spectacular,
with temperatures in the 80s and 90s and constant
sunshine from December to May. Villa Paraiso is blessed with marvellous ocean breezes.
