COUPLES RETREAT
8TH-11TH MAY
RETREATS FOR PEACE
RETREATS FOR PEACE - we are embracing a number of option over the coming months in the UK
Welcome to exploring our first ever offering, this time for 4 couples...in the Cotswolds
We are thrilled to be offering time away for couples at a BEAUTIFUL location in the Cotswolds.
Sam and Maxine are working together professionally for the first time but have known each other for almost 10 years. And what a team they are to bring you something they have both been dreaming of hosting
Meet Sam
I have been wanting to host time away for couples for quite some time. I wanted the idea to be unique and impactful - just like everything else we offer. Maxine was my first choice as a collaborator.
I know how important it is to take time out of our every day lives to connect with the person you love. Even one simple weekend away can top up your cup of connection enough to last you months.
My role on this retreat will be to guide you in all things yoga, meditation and breath work...as a couple. You do not have to have experience in any of it, this is appropriate for all levels and tailor to you experience and needs. And of course I'll add in a dash of massage too through the weekend.
Meet Maxine
Sex & Relationship Therapist
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in sex and relationship therapy, offering a warm, inclusive, and non-judgemental space for adults and couples. My practice is firmly sex-positive and affirmative. My work is trauma-informed and collaborative, recognising the impact of past experiences on present relationships and sexual wellbeing.
I believe sex and relationship therapy should be a space for curiosity, compassion, and empowerment — not judgement or pressure to “fix” yourself.
My role on this retreat will be to guide you in your couples session and the opening and closing workshops. I hold space safely and will be around throughout the weekend should anyone need me individually.
The Overall feel of our time together
Overall we plan to hold a space for all of our guests that feels calm, peaceful and safe. With only 4 couples on site we really can tailor to your individual needs. Each couple will get 1:2 time with both Sam and Maxine as well as time to be alone together. Beautiful wholesome meals will be shared at meal time, you'll have some 'free time' and all meals are included in your package.
With regards to your bespoke, private couples session with Maxine. This retreat offers couples a warm, sex-positive space to reconnect with intimacy, desire, and one another. Rooted in consent, inclusivity, and emotional safety, it invites honest conversation, curiosity, and pleasure without pressure or expectation. Each couple is supported to explore connection in ways that feel authentic, respectful, and meaningful—honouring where you are now and what intimacy can become.
