Couples Retreats

The most powerful modality to work with couples is in a retreat-style medicine space. This space is a multi-day and multi-ceremony (usually two) experience with you, your partner, and two guides. If you are interested in a multi-couple retreat, please reach out to me. This style of work allows for a deeper, more intimate setting to address deep-seeded patterns and challenges that may have been around for years.

Take a look below to see if a couples retreat is right for you and your partner.

Please note that I am a LGBTQIA+ ally and am open to working with folks from all backgrounds.

What Does a Couples Retreat Look Like?

Multiple Ceremonies. Every ceremony you’ll experience during the retreat is structured in the same ways as other medicine ceremonies I hold. Click the link to see a full description of what that entails, here. The difference is in how we structure the intentions and goals so that each ceremony builds upon itself. See common intentions and outcomes for each ceremony below:

First Ceremony

  • Identify the behavioral patterns and dynamics that keep you in conflict.

  • Work with and clear the energy that keeps you both locked in those patterns.

  • Allow an openness for new patterns to start to develop.

Second Ceremony

  • Identify and create new behavioral patterns for both of you .

  • Identify individual needs and relationship needs, and actively start meeting those needs.

  • Revel in a new way of existing with your partner and engage in love!

Beautiful Setting. Retreats occur in various destinations across Colorado. I partner with two retreat centers, one in Evergreen (near Denver) and one in Mancos (Southwest CO). I can also arrange lodging in any location in Colorado that entices you. In addition, you will have:

  • Beautiful accommodations that are tailored to meet your needs and desires.

  • Full service meals cooked for you with fresh, organic, and sustainable foods that are custom made to your specific tastes and any dietary needs including gluten free, vegan, dairy free, keto, and more.

  • Space and time to reconnect to nature in order to prepare for and integrate your ceremonies.

Individual Attention from Two Dedicated Guides. Enjoy 24/7 support and guidance from two experienced practitioners. Given the length and depth of the retreat-style setting, your guides will be able to dive deeper into the psycho-spiritual-emotional-somatic realms with you. When you are not in ceremony, your guides will provide:

  • Preparation sessions for the next ceremony.

  • Integration sessions to help process your previous ceremony.

  • Coaching and guidance on non-violent communication and healthy relationship dynamics.

  • Guided spiritual and somatic experiences.

  • And much more…

FAQs

  • Every retreat is custom. In our consultation call we will determine your needs and desires, and then agree on number of days, number of ceremonies, and any additional services. However, here are some usually things that are included in a retreat.

    Before the retreat:

    • Two 1 hour Individual Prep Sessions

    • One 1 hour Couples Prep Session

    During the retreat:

    • Two 1 hour Individual Coaching sessions

    • Two 1 hour Couples Prep Sessions

    • Two 8-10 hour Ceremonies (5-6 of those are with the medicine)

    • Two 1 hour Integration Sessions

    • Support and guidance outside of sessions

    • 4 Nights Lodging

    Cost

    • Cost is very dependent on destination, dietary needs, number of sessions, and number of ceremonies.

    • On average, the above sample retreat runs around $12,000-$15,000.

  • Yes! I offer retreats with multiple ceremonies to individuals as well. In your free consultation we will work together to determine the best fit for your needs and desires.

  • There are many factors that go into a ceremony per guide:

    • Up to 12 hours of client contact time per ceremony

    • 4 hours of preparation and cleaning

    • Potentially many hours of travel

    • Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual prep and rest by each guide

    • Price of lodging and food

    In total, this can be up to 40 total hours by two guides combined for just one ceremony.

    My price, compared to the rest of the market, is much lower than normal. I want to make this work as accessible as possible to people. At the same time, I recognize that it is still a large burden for people. If you are in need of a scholarship, I do have a fund that is based off of other client’s donations. Please reach out to me to see what that process looks like.
