Couples Retreat FAQs
Absolutely not.
Many couples come because they want to enrich a good relationship, not fix a broken one.
A retreat is perfect if you want to:
- reconnect after a busy season of life
- deepen your intimacy and communication
- explore conscious sexuality
- feel more alive as lovers
- grow together in a supportive, meaningful way
Yes — each retreat has its own cancellation policy, outlined clearly on the individual retreat page.
If something unexpected arises, date transfers are usually possible depending on availability.
Absolutely. Love is love!
All couples are warmly welcome. Jacqueline’s approach is grounded in respect, inclusivity and conscious connection, and supports couples of all genders, orientations and relationship structures to feel safe, seen and celebrated.
Yes — completely. Although the retreat is held in a small group setting, your personal experience remains entirely your own. All workshop activities are done privately as a couple, at your own pace and in your own space.
The only group activities are optional group discussions, and you never need to share anything personal unless you choose to. There is no nudity, no sexual activity, and no expectation of physical interaction with anyone other than your partner.
You are welcome to sit out of any activity that doesn’t feel right for you. Jacqueline creates a confidential, respectful environment designed so you can relax, feel safe, and turn fully toward each other.
Retreats are held in small, carefully curated groups.
There is no group sharing of personal issues — the work is done privately, as a couple.
The group container provides safety, energy and a sense of shared journey, but your intimacy remains entirely your own.
No — this is an intimacy and connection retreat grounded in science, psychology and respectful Tantric principles.
There is no explicit sexual activity in the group space.
Sexual connection is something you’re invited to explore privately, in your own time, in your own room.
The emphasis is always on presence, awareness, embodiment, emotional connection and conscious touch.
Probably not. If you’re feeling very disconnected, caught in ongoing conflict, or navigating a big rupture, a retreat can feel overwhelming rather than supportive. In those moments, you’ll be better served by private sessions first, where Jacqueline can help you steady things, feel safer with each other, and rebuild a little ease.
Once you’re in a calmer place, the retreat can become a beautiful next step in your reconnection.
If you’re unsure, simply reach out— Jacqueline is always happy to guide you toward what will serve you best.
Absolutely. You don’t need any experience with Tantra, meditation, mindfulness or personal development to benefit from a couples intimacy retreat. Jacqueline guides everything gently and clearly, making the practices accessible, grounded and comfortable for all experience levels.
Whether it’s your first time exploring conscious intimacy or you’ve had experiences along these lines before, the retreat will meet you where you are and support you to deepen your connection as a couple.
Yes.
These Couples Retreats attract couples at every stage:
- brand-new couples wanting to start consciously
- long-term couples wanting renewal
- parents rediscovering their connection
- couples navigating transitions (empty nest, midlife, etc.)
The practices meet you where you are.
It’s extremely common for one partner to feel nervous.
The retreats are gentle, respectful and grounded, and Jacqueline guides everything with warmth. Most nervous partners end up being the most enthusiastic by the end.
There’s no pressure, no “performance,” and no awkward group sharing.
The focus is simply on helping you meet each other differently — with more ease, curiosity and connection.
If either of you feels unsure, you’re most welcome to have a chat with Jacqueline — she’s always happy to reassure you and help you feel at ease.
Both retreats offer a powerful journey into intimacy, connection and erotic aliveness - but they have distinct flavours.
Blue Mountains (3 days) is a grounded, structured, transformative long weekend. It’s ideal for couples wanting a practical, profound reset that fits into everyday life.
Bali (5 days) is a spacious, spiritual, sensual deepening. It offers more time, more embodiment and a Tantric flavour, set in a luxurious environment that supports deeper relational awakening.
In short:
- Blue Mountains = Conscious Reset
- Bali = Conscious Deepening
Both retreats take place in high-end, beautifully appointed venues chosen specifically to support relaxation, nervous system regulation and sensual aliveness.
- Blue Mountains: luxury lodge accommodation (approx. $A700/night)
- Bali: premium suites and private villas (approx. $A500–$A2,000+/night)
Luxury is not indulgence — it’s a deliberate part of creating the spaciousness and safety required for deep relational work.
(Having said that, you are also welcome to stay in less costly accommodation while attending a retreat if you wish.)
The retreat fee covers all teachings, guided practices, course materials, and full facilitation by Jacqueline throughout the retreat. It also includes gourmet meals and refreshments during the program.
Accommodation is not included and is booked separately through the retreat venue. You’ll find full details and links to book on each individual couples retreat page.
Private sessions offer personalised support and therapeutic depth over time.
A retreat, however, creates a sealed relational container, a multi-day experience where you stay in the process without breaking the connection. This continuity enables accelerated growth, deeper intimacy and more powerful relational shifts.
Retreats are especially effective if you:
- want a major reset
- feel stuck in patterns
- want to rekindle desire
- want a shared spiritual or erotic awakening
- want to gift your relationship time, space and luxury
Private sessions = gradual deepening.
Retreats = transformative immersion.
The Couples Intimacy Masterclass is the essence of Jacqueline’s work in a beautifully guided, flexible online format, perfect for doing at your own pace.
But a retreat offers something the Masterclass can’t: immersion.
On retreat you step out of everyday life, slow down, drop into presence, and reconnect without distractions. This creates a complete nervous system reset, allowing for breakthroughs that happen quickly and organically.
Many couples do both:
- the Masterclass to prepare or integrate
- the retreat for depth, transformation and embodied connection
