You can be accomplished, self-aware, spiritual, and still feel lost in love, sex, and connection. You may be accomplished, self-aware and fluent in the language of healing, and still find yourself lost in love, sex or connection.
You might come because you:
- understand your relational pattern but still keep living it;
- long for intimacy yet feel guarded when it arrives;
- carry sexual shame, confusion or grief in silence;
- over-give or lose yourself in relationships;
- want to understand your boundaries, desire or relationship to pleasure;
- are looking for work that is psychologically rigorous and spiritually meaningful.
You do not need to be a therapist or healer to attend. You do not need to attend with a partner. People of all gender identities, sexual orientations and relationship styles are most welcome.
How we work
Through the body.
Somatic exercises invite you to notice sensation, emotion, activation and boundaries—and to explore what helps you feel more present and able to choose.
Through the arts.
Image, movement, writing and creative process can give form to experiences that are difficult to explain in conversation alone.
Through relationship.
Guided reflection helps you recognise patterns around trust, shame, conflict, desire and closeness. Group work offers opportunities to practise listening and relating with greater awareness.
Through meaning.
Where it is welcome and relevant, spiritual and cultural inquiry can help you explore the beliefs and histories you carry into your intimate life.
The retreat is facilitated by trained mental and sexual health practitioners. No one is expected to disclose a trauma story or perform vulnerability for the group.

frequently asked questions
1
What exactly is Sex Therapy in This Retreat?
Sex therapy in the context of this retreat is a therapeutic, educational, and embodied healing process focused on understanding your relationship with sexuality, intimacy, pleasure, boundaries, trauma, and the nervous system. It’s about going deep within our own personal journeys as couples and single people to understand our own patterns through art, movement, yoga and creative nature-based tools.
It does not involve any sexual activity between participants, nor between participants and facilitators.
Kindly do not associate us with any illegal or illicit activities at all. We do ask participants to leave the retreat without any refunds if any such activities are even suggested.

experiences, transformations & testimonials
“By the end of the three days, I felt lighter, not because everything was ‘fixed,’ but because I finally understood that healing is not about erasing the past, it’s about coming home to yourself and managing that feeling consistently. “
– S, Psychologist, Mumbai
“Before attending I had spent years avoiding my body. I could talk about my trauma, but I couldn’t feel safe inhabiting it.
During the retreat, something shifted gently, but profoundly. The way Neha and her team guided us through body awareness, boundary work, and emotional release helped me reconnect with sensations I had shut down for years. It was a lot and it was worth it.”
– A, Tech Founder, Malaysia
b, writer
“There was no pressure to share or perform healing like we see all around us these days. Everything happened at my own pace.
There’s no stunts and antics here in her spaces. It’s pure power of community, and depth-based, honest inner work.“
– M, writer, Chicago
N, digital marketeer
“I cried, I laughed, I shook and for the first time, it felt like my body was allowed to tell its story. The facilitators held space with such care that I never felt alone, even in my hardest moments.”
Just go for it, seriously. It is life changing to be held so deeply.”
– N, Digital Marketeer, Bengaluru
