Passionate Intimacy Retreats
Weekend of Bliss—Hot Springs, NC
April 26-28, 2024
If you’re a couple longing to rekindle the passion that brought your together, then join us for a Weekend Intimacy Retreat that will ignite your desires, deepen your emotional connection, and give you skills and tools to create a dynamic long term intimate relationship.
Nestled close to your beloved in the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina, you awaken to the beginning wisps of spring in the mountains, where the leaves are just beginning to awaken into their full beauty.
You sit across from your partner, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, feeling the world fade away as you create your own special bubble, one in which the world outside ceases to exist. In this sacred space you speak freely of your love and desires and feel a level of emotional connection that you have both been longing for.
Whether you’ve been together five years or twenty-five years, the truth is that long term relationships can easily lose their spark. The fiery passion and excitement are replaced by monotonous routines. Resentments build up over time, leaving you feeling disconnected and frustrated.
Relationships need time to grow and flourish which doesn’t happen in our busy lives.
But wouldn’t it be incredible if you could dedicate a whole three day weekend to your relationship in the majestic mountains of North Carolina?
If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, then you must join us for a Weekend of Bliss!
Are you longing for deeper emotional connection with your partner?
How incredible would it be to feel passion and excitement when your partner walks in the door?
Wouldn’t it be great to “want to want sex” again?
Can you imagine how freeing it would feel if you understood what turns you on and were able to ask for and receive it?
Our specially designed couples weekend retreat was designed with you in mind
- Surrounded by the crystal mountains, in a lovely rustic setting, you will spend an entire three days strengthening your connection, free of distractions and life stresses.
- Carefully created connection and communication exercises will open your hearts and leave you feeling more fulfilled in your relationship than ever before.
- Interactive learning, live demos, and special rituals will help re-kindle passion and desire.
- You will discover your own and your partner’s sexual style so that you can confidently ask for and receive the pleasure you want and deserve
Welcome to Bliss House
Welcome to your secluded mountain sanctuary, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with access and views of the National Forest for as far as your eyes can see. Hidden away deep in the Blue Ridge, The Bliss House overlooks a sea of forested land. Breathe in the fresh forest air, hear the rush of waterfalls, hike nearby trails and experience summer gently melting away into fall. Take a short drive down the mountain and experience the healing waters of Hot Springs.
We know how important it is on a retreat to nourish all parts of you so rest assured that Chef Madeline will serve you delicious, healthy meals and snacks all day long.
You start your day with a vegetable frittata or fruit and yogurt for a lighter alternative. At lunch time your feast on a Caesar salad with fresh trout fillets and sweet potato bisque.
Dinner is the main event where our Chef’s prowess in the kitchen and love of Korean cooking comes to life. The sweet smell of Korean Beef Bulgogi wafts through the air.
As you take your first bite your taste buds awaken to an exquisite sweet and salty combination laced into extraordinarily tender meat, topped with homemade kimchi.
For dessert, you feast on the sensual taste and texture of chocolate soufflé.
