The Art of Connection · Private Couples Retreat
Your Private Couples' Retreat in Sardinia
Immerse yourself in love, in life and in the quality of your relationship.
5 days / 4 nights · April to November · €3,900 for the two of you
Welcome to this exclusive journey of conscious relating, intimacy and personal growth, where it's just the two of you and me as your facilitator. This is not a group retreat.
Our 5-day / 4-night private retreat in the captivating landscapes of Sardinia is thoughtfully designed to strengthen your bond, reignite your passion and create cherished memories together.
Alisa and I are so appreciative for the very special time we spent with you. […] The work we did has made such a difference for us, since our time with you we often work through some of the very insightful practices you shared that help us along in our journey together. We still day dream about the rejuvenating sleeps, your restorative mediations and yoga and the magical location and its magnetic energy that we crave and will surely return for. Your programme was wonderful and we felt tended too and had such constructive and helpful sessions together but we also had so much time to enjoy the magic of the area that surrounded us. It really was a perfect balance and we have thrived in every was since. We can’t wait to visit again and have another retreat with you. Thank you again, Love Ashley & Alisa
Your Retreat, Your Journey within
Amidst the beauty of Sardinia, you'll find moments of privacy and reflection that allow you to connect with each other and with yourselves on a deeper level.
It gives you the space to be fully yourselves and to meet what lies underneath: your fears, your sensuality, your relational patterns and all that wants to come alive.
Love is not about how many days, months or years you have been together. Love is about how much you have learned, grown and connected as two souls.
Feel like your relationship needs some divine intervention?
- A time away from work, family and the stress of everyday life, to bring you closer together
- A clear vision of your path together and a greater understanding of who both of you are and what's important to you as a couple
- More love and passion in your life
- Healing emotional wounds from the past to create a solid and fruitful ground for the now
- A more conscious way of communicating that connects instead of separates
- Cultivating trust and openness
This retreat is for couples of all genders and sexual orientations. A couple may be any two people who desire a meaningful relationship and a connection from the heart.
How I work with you
I always address practices, coaching and therapy from a mind-body-soul perspective. My mission is to help you deepen your bond and release whatever is blocking you, emotionally, mentally or energetically.
Where old patterns run deep, you can add individual RTT sessions (Rapid Transformational Therapy) for one or both of you, to find the roots of your triggers and reactions. RTT is not part of the retreat program and can be booked separately.
The format can always be adapted to your wishes and needs. If you want an immersion in tantric practices for couples, for example, this can become the focus of your retreat.
Kind words
What couples say
We worked with Elke during a four day couple retreat. Starting from a place of deep hurt and disconnect, Elke was able to hold space and guide us in a way, that brought us together. There was ample time to have deep conversations and counselling sessions together without feeling rushed. Elke did not shy away from difficult conversations; rather enabled us to articulate ourselves sensitively. Each person felt valued and heard. Elke uses different techniques from her years of experience and blended them together in such a way that was seamless and appropriate to our circumstance. She spent many hours with us and was able to delve deep into our issues in order to bring understanding and healing. Elke is an expert and compassionate practitioner and we would recommend her highly.
The 4 day retreat was a great experience for us! We learned so much about the vast field of Sacred Sexuality & Tantra, which we wanted to focus on during our time in Sardinia. Elke enabled us to open up easily and naturally, and expand our erotic spectrum quite a bit. She taught us so much about our energy body, our sensual experience, as well as our awareness of our breath and how to create tantric rituals. It was a really deep experience in a super comfortable intimate setting where everyone could just be who they are. We highly recommend this retreat for couples who want to learn more about the tantric path and deepen their relationship on a spiritual level.
I chose this retreat as Elke had amazing reviews and she seemed very welcoming and easy to talk to and her retreat was extremely beneficial for both of us. Plus it’s Italy! Improved communication and learned how to understand each other better. Definitely worth the experience. Amazing retreat hosts. Make sure you get to enjoy Sardinia as well.
When some tension came up in the relationship, we reached out for some guidance. Elke has way of making a genuine impact by actually caring and not only listening, but steering the situation towards clarity by providing practical steps. Thank you for all the help!
