Our retreats and workshops grew our of our personal journey into sacred sexuality and the deepening of the relationship with ourselves and each other. Our adventure began 15 years ago with our desire to keep passion and intimacy growing throughout our years together. At that time we never could have imagined the richness of depth, joy and love that would come to us through this path. We have found our sexuality and relationship to be profound doorways to our spirits and our connection to the Divine. We are having a blast in and outside of the bedroom. All areas of our lives are enlivened. In 1999 we started sharing what we had learned through retreats, workshops and private coaching sessions. We draw from the blessings and lessons of our life experience and blend those with the skills, knowledge and experience we have gained through a variety of personal enrichment courses. We are Certified Tantra Educators through the Source School of Tantra.
