Our retreats unfold in a safe, skilled and supportive environment. Those of you who have worked with us before know that you will be treated with the utmost respect and caring, while also being lovingly challenged to breakthrough to new possibilities, individually and as a couple.
We will be assisted by our beloved, long-time associate, psychotherapist par excellence, Indrus Piche, who is also an expert in sacred sexuality.
In class sessions you are primarily working alone with your partner. Your privacy as a couple is respected and there is no enforced sharing or process with the group as a whole.
Your retreat setting
Mar de Jade is a lovely retreat center right on the beach in Chacala, Mexico. We discovered this little jewel in 2004 and have returned every Winter since. Mar de Jade is a safe and quiet haven. The owners’ commitment to service to the local community, health and spirituality make it a perfect home for our retreats.
They have an impeccable COVID protocol.
What participants say:
"The retreat was absolutely miraculous for us. My husband and I hadn’t particularly felt we needed it. But we were amazed to be renewed and reignited in every aspect of our marriage, and we fell even more deeply in love."

Do familiarize yourself with their refund policy. Upon acceptance to the retreat, please reserve rooms early as Mar de Jade is heavily booked in February.
We are experimenting with a self-selected sliding scale to facilitate being able to offer lower rates to those who might otherwise not be able to attend.
