The Adventure You Need
to Rekindle Your Romance
You and your partner might be best friends, but even the closest of bonds can be affected by the stress of life. When life gets out of hand, that’s when it’s most important to make time for you, your partner and your relationship. You need to reignite the spark that’s dulled! And sometimes, a date night just isn’t enough.
You need adventure to bring you closer and recharge your connection.
Sharing new experiences and adventures reminds couples what attracted them to each other (and it’s not bad for your sex life, either!).
We show you the way to adventure and shared thrill....
Have you been married for a long time and feel like you’re not able to connect like you’re used to?
Are you both caught in the same routine that feels like a rut & that’s left you both wanting more from life & from your relationship?
Are you good life partners but feel like that *spark* is gone?
Does sex sometimes feel like a chore?
If you’re nodding your head “yes”, then this retreat is for you.
Maybe you’ve raised kids, you’ve worked hard all your lives, and now is the time you should be enjoying your relationship and time together. Right?
So why do the same issues keep coming up over and over again, holding you back from connecting with your partner and truly feeling fulfilled within your partnership?
Just because you’re in a lull, it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. It’s an invitation to grow deeper and more connected.
These are your golden years.
Don't wait to reconnect and make your relationship as
exciting as it once was.
It is possible to do it now!

This unique experience isn't just a vacation - it interweaves research-backed methods to making marriages work...
The Gottman Method
This retreat experience is special because you and your partner will get the benefit of decades of research on what makes marriages work and what doesn't. That's because each day, we'll have fun as we explore the 7 principles that Dr. John Gottman, world's leading "love doctor", has identified in successful & unsuccessful marriages.
Dr. Gottman can predict whether a couple will get divorced with 94% accuracy based on the couple's behavior and on his research, and he's created ways to avoid divorce based on his findings.
Rima and her team create a loving, safe environment for you to soak up these tools.
The Workshop Experience
Explore "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" Workshop, taught by Rima, a licensed psychotherapist.
Receive all of the materials to take home, including the best-selling book "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work", two couples guides & more!
10 hours of workshop instruction is divided throughout the week with Rima*.
*please note that this experience is NOT couples therapy or psychotherapy! The workshop is educational in nature with lots of time and space to practice the activities as a couple.
Optimum Nutrition
Unhealthy eating habits can affect the quality of our emotional and physical lives, and therefore our relationships as well.
Discover how delicious and fulfilling eating healthy can be, and you'll be surprised at how good you both feel. We won't be "cleansing" by any means, just enjoying some clean, gourmet food prepared by a private vegan chef, made with love and gratitude. You'll both find that eating healthy is not only good for you, but it's also a fun thing to explore together!
Feast on ONE gourmet plant-based lunch and ONE gourmet plant based 3-course dinner prepared by a private chef.
Daily Yoga Class & Meditation
This isn't a "yoga retreat", so we won't be doing anything too crazy! But each morning, we'll wake up and meet outside to enjoy the fresh morning air. We'll gently stretch our bodies to work out any kinks and then we'll practice various simple meditation techniques. You'll experience the benefits of being able to calm your mind and rest your heart, a skill you'll surely find useful back home. This all is part of the process of rejuvenation, exploration and feeling fully connected to your partner.
Start the day right together with daily morning 60 minute meditation and yoga classes - for all levels.

Efrain, Georgia, November 2021
“This has already had a great impact and I want to keep doing the work to improve our relationship. We touched on a lot of great stuff and I think this can be fun to keep discovering more about one another and giving it attention. You put an amazing team together. It was not only awesome but it was key to what we’re trying to approach. You have a nice program and nice group of people. You yourself have been wonderful. Everyone was wonderful. The hotel was beautiful. I am grateful for all the time, effort and patience you have given us this week. We will have to do more work but we have now a guide to follow.”
Leigh & Scott, June 2023
“We had such a good time and I want to thank you for everything! It was an amazing experience. We may have to come back every few months to “brush up” on sessions because everything was so incredible, we miss it already.”
