6 Days of Local Soul: The Essence Retreat in Morocco
Marrakesh, Morocco
$1,576 / 6 Days
How are things going for you as a couple right now?
Do you still have a genuine, vibrant connection, or has a sense of distance crept in quietly over the years, so that you’re living more like roommates who’ve been living together for a long time?
You work great as a team, organizing daily life, the kids, or your jobs perfectly. But mutual attention falls by the wayside. When it comes to physical intimacy, you’re more like “Team Slump,” because at the end of the day, everything else is always more important or more urgent. And at night in bed, each of you retreats, exhausted, into your own world.
Sometimes it’s not even sex you miss most of all. You miss the intimacy, the tenderness, and that warm, deep feeling of being truly seen by the other person again. The knowledge that there’s still something alive between you.
Perhaps physical obstacles, recurring conflicts, or insecurities are holding you back. Or maybe everything is actually fine between you, and you’re simply looking for fresh, deep inspiration for your love.
No matter what’s on your mind—whether it’s a crisis, curiosity, or a spirit of renewal—this tantra retreat is an invitation to reconnect with each other in a whole new way, mindfully and lovingly, amidst lush nature far away from everyday life.
✦ What to Expect During Your Couples’ Retreat
In this retreat, we won’t engage in endless relationship discussions that just go in circles. We’ll focus on experience, touch, and genuine connection. For me, Tantra isn’t an esoteric tool for better sex, but rather an attitude:
It’s an invitation to slow down and connect with one another mindfully, appreciatively, and fully present.
Exclusive Couples Guarantee (1:1 Setting):
You’ll be the only couple there. There’s no group, no awkward moments of being on display in front of strangers, and no distractions. A lovingly designed space, all to yourselves and your love, where you can explore, feel, and enjoy.
Absolute Safety & Your Comfort Zone:
At no time is nudity expected or required. Everything happens entirely voluntarily and at your own pace. Your boundaries are sacred here.
Mindful Touch & Massage:
You don’t need any prior experience. I’ll guide you step by step through gentle sequences where you can explore closeness and sensuality in a whole new way.
Recognizing & Unraveling Relationship Patterns:
We’ll take an unfiltered look at your dynamics and needs. Where do you lose yourselves in everyday life? And how can we pragmatically create space for genuine connections again?
An Anchor for Your Everyday Life Afterward:
You’ll leave not only with beautiful memories, but also with valuable insights that will continue to resonate in your daily lives for a long time to come. You’ll take home the foundation that makes conversations flow more easily again, makes touch feel more natural, and brings vitality back into your relationship. So that, amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, you can once again consciously experience yourselves as a couple in love—and not just as an “organizing team.”
✦ Your Next Step
If, as you read this, you’ve noticed that these words resonate with you, the first step has already been taken. Take this desire for closeness and depth seriously, even if it often takes courage in everyday relationship life to reclaim the space for your own partnership.
You don’t have to make any final decisions just yet.
That’s exactly what the no-obligation introductory conversation is for. Let’s talk on the phone (you’re welcome to call alone at first, or all three of us together) and see what’s on your minds as a couple, whether this retreat is the right next piece of the puzzle for you, and whether the chemistry between us is right.
The conversation is completely confidential, free of charge, and lasts about 15 minutes.
Afterward, you’ll have a clear sense of what the next step is for you as a couple.
>Good to know: Preferred dates for 2026
Since my retreats are deeply connected to nature, the doors to my cabin open exclusively during the warmer months from May through October.
Because my personal guidance requires my full presence and undivided attention, I only accept a limited number of guests each month.
If you feel that this year is the right time to give yourselves time as a couple and realign your relationship, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll see which days work for us.

BookTo ensure you’re well-nourished at all times during your time together as a couple, we’ll be serving you vegetarian or vegan meals—cooked with love from fresh, organic ingredients and wild herbs—that nourish both body and soul.

We do not offer à la carte dining, but we will, of course, accommodate any individual dietary restrictions.
✦ About Me
I’m Sabine, a psychological counselor and couples and sex therapist. I’ll be guiding you personally throughout these days and creating a clear and safe space for you to explore your experiences over several days with a calm, steady presence.
✦ The Location
My lovingly run retreat is located in the Murtal valley in Styria, nestled among mountains, forests, and water, which I open to guests in the summer. It’s a place to take a deep breath—no TV, no radio noise, and no constant background noise that pulls you back into the world when you’re actually trying to find peace.
Instead, you’ll enjoy nature’s cinema with the murmur of a stream and a chorus of birds. No Wi-Fi, but a full connection to nature and to yourself.
✦ What Your Days with Me Will Look Like
Your retreat follows a clear structure, but isn’t meticulously scheduled down to the minute. We’ll work with whatever arises and is truly important at the moment.
Day 1 – Arrival & Creating Space
Arrival starting at 2:00 p.m. You’ll settle into your cozy cabin and take some time to settle in.
During a relaxed walk and talk in nature, we’ll get to know each other and explore the topic you’ve brought with you. The evening: Keep it intentionally quiet. Wind down, enjoy a lovingly prepared dinner, and let the first gentle impulses for your time as a couple take effect.
Day 2 – Deepening the Experience
The second day forms the heart of your retreat. After breakfast, the space is created exclusively for you. Depending on your process, we’ll work through conversation, in nature, and, of course, through bodywork. I’ll guide you step by step into the tantric posture and mutual massage. In between, there will be regular breaks to process, reflect, rest, and spend time alone as a couple. The day gently comes to a close over dinner.
Day 3 – Reflection & Integration
After breakfast, we’ll take time to reflect together on what you’ve experienced and to gather the fruits of your shared journey.
What has come to light? What has become clearer, what new things have you discovered about each other, and which insights can you specifically carry forward into your everyday lives?
Your retreat ends around 12:00 p.m., and you can depart feeling nourished and at peace.
Follow-up Call: To ensure the magic of the cabin doesn’t fade away in your daily lives, we’ll meet online two weeks later for a follow-up conversation to help you firmly anchor your new steps in your lives.
