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 in bed at night, 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, mindful, and loving way, surrounded by lush nature and 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 life for a long time to come. You’ll take home the foundation that makes conversations flow more easily again, makes physical touch feel more natural, and brings vitality back into your relationship. So that, amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, you can consciously experience yourselves as a couple in love—and not just as an “organizing team.”
✦ Your Next Step
If you found yourself nodding as you read this, something is probably ready to shift.
Take this impulse seriously—to pause your daily routine for a moment and give yourselves some space.
You don’t have to book anything today. That’s exactly what my no-obligation 15-minute introductory conversation is for.
Together, we’ll explore what’s on your minds right now and what you’re hoping for.
We’ll see if the chemistry between us is right and if my retreat is your next step.
It’s completely confidential, free, and pressure-free.
Afterward, you’ll have a clear sense of direction for your journey.
◆ Your Preferred Date in 2026
The retreats take place only during the warmer months; at the end of October, my natural paradise closes its doors again until next spring. At the same time, I only accept as many retreats as I can fully support with my full presence. If you’d like to give your relationship this space and attention while there’s still time, please let me know your preferred date.

✦ 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—without TV or radio noise, without the constant clatter that pulls you into the outside world when you’re actually trying to find peace.
Instead, you’ll enjoy nature’s own 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
Check-in starts at 12:00 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, explore the topic you’ve brought with you, set the intention for the coming days, and begin with some initial exercises. The evening is intentionally quiet: wind down, enjoy a lovingly prepared dinner, and put some gentle ideas into practice for your intimate time as a couple.
Day 2 – Deepening the Experience
The second day forms the heart of your retreat. After sleeping in and having breakfast, we’ll create a space exclusively for the two of 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 with dinner.
Day 3 – Harvest & Integration
Sleep in again, and after breakfast, we’ll take time to strengthen your connection, reflect together on what you’ve experienced, and reap the rewards of your shared journey.
What has become clear? What has become clearer, what new things did you discover about each other, and which insights can you specifically carry forward into your everyday lives? There will be plenty of breaks in between, along with a midday snack.
Your retreat ends around 3:00 p.m., and you can depart feeling nourished and at peace. (If you need to leave earlier, that’s certainly possible.)
Follow-up Call: To ensure the magic of the retreat doesn’t fade away in your daily life, we’ll meet online or by phone two weeks later for a follow-up conversation to help you firmly anchor your new steps in your life.
