I didn’t have much hope for the trajectory of my marriage before this weekend. We have not had good outcomes with couples therapy and, quite frankly, I wasn’t up to any couples therapy. This retreat was a Godsend for my husband and me. It brought my husband and I to completely new levels of communication and understanding. All in an incredibly beautiful mountain setting. I cannot say thank you enough. I cannot tell enough people how much of a game-changer this is for communication and relationship skills.
— Sarah D.
 

The 2023 Creating Safety and Emotional Connection Retreat will be held at a secluded mountain campsite in a beautiful forest setting in South Eastern Idaho.

This 3-day immersive retreat has been designed to be a distraction-free learning environment with group and one on one instruction and support from our team of experts.

Unplug from the rest of the world and plug into deepening your connected journey.

 

This retreat will give couples the direction they need to overcome communication barriers and harmful cycles that play out in their relationships. Couples will gain the skills they need to address these problems and start creating new ways of communicating with one another. Couples will leave with the confidence to keep building happiness, connection, and strength in their relationship.


 
” I asked my husband to describe this last weekend and all he could say was “life-changing”! After attending the Couples Camping Retreat we feel as connected as we did when we first met! We also feel confident we can work through anything and both be happy, thanks to the amazing tools and techniques we learned at the retreat.
— Audrey W.
 

This retreat is perfect for couples who:

  • Feel disconnected from their partners or dissatisfied with their relationship

  • Have tried couples/marriage counseling and didn’t get the help they needed

  • Want to create more passion, intimacy, and connection in their relationship

  • Have a good relationship they want to make even better

  • Want to start creating new communication patterns and heal past wounds.

 

Attending a couples retreat is a fast-track option to accelerate your learning and make huge shifts in your relationship in just three days. After attending the Creating Safety and Emotional Healing retreat couples will have engaged in 12 and a half hours of therapy and three hours of couples yoga for intimacy. That’s twelve weeks of therapy in an office setting built into just three days!

Hear what others have to say about our couples retreats

“So grateful for Tina, Tori, Janae and Penney for creating a safe space for couples to explore their relationship together on a couples retreat. We were well cared for all weekend with the opportunity to explore nature, move our bodies and be supported in our difficult conversations. The food was wonderful and we appreciated the thoughtful details and exercises provided. We would highly recommend this to any couple wanting to heal or strengthen their relationship.” -Celina G.

“Where do I even start with how phenomenal our couples retreat was? From the moment you walked in the door, you’re met with a safe energy that leaves you feeling at home right away. The instructors were so kind, polite, helpful, friendly, personable, and just all around great. Just as you’d expect from any 5 star retreat, you’re completely taken care of from meal accommodations, cooking, and cleaning up. I loved that the staff took the time to plan out every detail down to a perfectly lined up schedule. The counselor was so knowledgeable of what she was teaching. She was able to provide real life examples to help guide each couple through the Gottman method. We were surprised to find out we would be getting couples pictures. That was amazing in itself because the photographer truly captured a happy and beautiful moment. It was my first time doing yoga, but by the end of the weekend I felt like an expert with the amazing instructor we had. My partner and I have renewed confidence in ourselves and our marriage all over again. We were able to take the tools we learned and put them to use right away. The other couples were amazing as well. As mentioned before, the energy was safe and free from judgement. The whole experience from start to finish was just incredible. I look forward to another retreat with this amazing company full of amazing people. If I could give a greater score than 5 stars, I absolutely would.” - Ashur R.
