Couples Retreat: the Art of Tantric Touch
January 7th to 13th 2020
Phangan, Thailand
This retreat set on a paradise island in Thailand, is a training in the art of touch and massage for couples.
One of the things we all long for is to be touched in life. The art of touch is about exploring how we can deeply touch the one we love.
This training leads couples on an exploration of touch, including:
* Discover the difference between giving and taking touch.
* Learn how to recognize when your partner contracts in response to touch (gets triggered), and how to hold space for them to move through it.
* Learn the elements of touch and how to transmit different energies to your partner.
* Heal guilt and shame around pleasure and melt deeper into union.
* Learn about energy channels, circulation and how bodywork can be used to support it.
* Practice Sexual Vitality Qigong to go deeper into energy cultivation within yourself so you can be even more aware of energy in your partner.
* Explore different types of Tantric Massage together with your partner. (Please note this is about touching the whole body and the focus is on: types of touch, holding space, and moving energy. The more intimate practices are shared privately by the couple in the bedroom).
* Share tantric rituals to deepen your love and connection as a couple.
Some techniques will be taught in class, but each couple will return to the privacy of their room to practice many of their new skills together!
As well as massaging each other, you will have time to lie in the sun and swim in the sea...returning your body to the state of bliss that is its true nature.
Guided by Shashi and Shahid, with guest teachers Peter and Monique.
Safety Note
Safety is a priority for us. Techniques will be described or demonstrated in class, and there will be classroom practices designed for the group space (you will always work with your own partner). Then there will be "homework" time when you retreat to your own private temple space in your bedroom to take each practice deeper.

Who is this for?
This retreat is designed for couples...whether you have been together a month or a lifetime! However, we do recommend that you are already intimate together and that you feel comfortable to exchange intimate touch. Whether you are just starting off, and want to build a tantric experience together, or whether you have been together for years and simply want to add something new to your relationship....this retreat is for you! No prior experience in Tantra is required, just an openness to explore!

Accommodation Options
Stay on site at the beautiful Serenity Retreat Center....all double rooms have an ocean-view balcony, kitchenette, AC and ensuite bathroom. They are "island style" rooms, but above-average quality for Phangan (but not to be compared to Europe or USA quality!!).
These are limited in number and will be allocated on a first-pay-first-serve basis. Half-board meals are included, as for this retreat, going out on dinner dates along the adjacent beach is part of the plan!
€550 per week per couple for double room plus half board meals (vegetarian)
Once these are full, rooms will be bookable at an adjacent hotel and meals will still be taken with the group. Prices should be similar. When this is the case, we will send you the details.
