The morning mist wraps around the trees as the jungle hums to life

You’re tangled up in soft sheets, skin against skin, watching the rainforest wake through the wide-open windows. A pair of macaws flashes past—streaks of blue and gold through the green.

You touch gently. Eyes meet. Breath slows.
There’s no rush here. Just the delicious feeling of being right where you are.

Later, golden light spills over the mountains as you sit across from each other.
The air is warm. The silence feels safe.
You speak your truth. They really hear you.
And in that moment, something deep opens between you.

This is what it feels like to be met—with love, with presence, with desire.

And this… is only the beginning.

WHY YOU’RE HERE

If you’ve been feeling more like roommates than lovers…

If the spark has faded under the weight of stress, caregiving, or years of silence…

If you miss the days when a glance, a touch, or a kiss could light you up from the inside out…

Then it’s time to reclaim what’s been lost—
and awaken what still lives inside you.

Passion in Paradise is more than a romantic getaway.
It’s a sacred space to:

  • Heal the emotional distance
  • Dissolve shame, guilt, or fear around intimacy
  • Remember what it feels like to be fully alive—in your body and in love
  • Learn new techniques and tools to deepen connection and create passionate intimacy

Isn’t This What You Truly Want?

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

Over the course of this luxurious, private week together, you’ll reconnect emotionally, physically, and energetically—with yourself and with each other.

No distractions. No pressure. Just time to explore, rediscover, and fall in love again.

You’ll experience:

  • Guided communication practices that open your heart and deepen trust
  • Somatic tools to help you reconnect with your body—and each other
  • Live demos and sensual massage practices to reawaken desire
  • Time for “home play” that brings the spark back into your sex life
  • Discovery of your unique sexual styles and how to ask for what you want
  • Clarity around mismatched desire—and how to shift the dynamic with ease
  • Intimate connection rituals you can bring home and keep alive for years

This isn’t about fixing your relationship.
It’s about creating a whole new way of relating—
One that’s playful, passionate, and built to last.

THE VENUE

Pura Vida… Life is Good.
Welcome to Imiloa—a private jungle sanctuary perched above the Pacific.
Here, time slows. The outside world fades.
And your connection has space to breathe.

The rainforest wraps around you like a lover—warm, wild, and full of surprises.
The scent of rain and ripe fruit lingers in the air.
Howler monkeys call in the distance like a primal invitation to feel more.

As you walk the winding jungle paths hand-in-hand, you’re no longer just a couple—
you’re explorers.

In the open-air Gathering Space, vines sway above you.
The ocean glimmers beyond the trees.
This is where you’ll stretch, touch, move… and rediscover each other.

Whether you’re in a hammock beneath the stars or deep in a partner practice,
everything here whispers: come closer.

This is more than a backdrop.
It’s a living, breathing container for your transformation.
A place where your intimacy softens, deepens, and ignites—
in rhythm with the pulse of the jungle.
