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.

Tuition is a sliding scale from $1200-$2200 per couple. Rooms are an additional $372-486 per couple per night (including all meals and 19% taxes). The rooms vary significantly, so be sure to discuss your needs and preferences with Mar de Jade (e.g. king or queen bed, etc.)
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.
Please choose your level of tuition. All prices are per couple.

$1860.00 (standard tuition)
