What is the Tantra for Couples Retreat?
Many couples get stuck in a routine, talking about to-do's instead of feeling the deep, intimate closeness that the relationship started with. Before you know it, you might feel more like roommates than lovers. The secret to keeping the spark alive? Ditch autopilot and start being more present. When you actually tune in and engage, your relationship feels fresh, exciting, and full of energy.
Does this sound like you?
You're done with bland, routine intimacy and are craving something richer—like upgrading from fast food to a five-star dining experience.
You refuse to let your love life go stale. You're ready to evolve, explore, and keep the passion alive.
You are seeking something deeper than just new techniques—you want true connection. You're open to mindfulness and meditation as a path to real intimacy with your partner.
A Note from our Event CoHost: Anita Dickinson
Hello! ✨ Welcome to an epic journey of connection and intimacy! As a seasoned meditation coach, facilitator and tantra practitioner, I’m passionate about helping couples discover OR rediscover the deep connection and desires that brought them together. 🌺
With decades of experience in conscious sexuality, meditation and soma-yoga teaching, I am excited to create a safe, playful and nurturing environment for you and your partner in Costa Rica.
We will be exploring the transformative power of Tantra (conscious / gourmet sex and intimacy). We will dive into practices that enhance emotional intelligence and intimacy, deepen communication, and awaken your sensuality.
So excited for you to start this journey and awaken the magic within yourself and your relationship 🇨🇷✨🌴
Ocean Front Experience
Ocean Front
Fenix Hotel
Our guests at the Fenix Hotel enjoy stepping out of their rooms onto the white sand beach.
The property includes a small pool, hammocks and beach beds for everyone, and a quiet unpopulated beach front.
It is a WOW.
We are a 15-minute ocean stroll to the city center with 20+ restaurants. Close enough but far enough to get away from it all.
Your Room
You and your partner will enjoy an apartment-style one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a full kitchen. The regular event fee includes a shared room with a King sized bed.
All apartments step out onto the beach.
Common Misperceptions about Tantra
1. It’s Just About Sex
Many people believe that conscious sexuality is solely focused on physical intimacy. In reality, it encompasses emotional, spiritual, and mental connections as well.
2. It is for Couples in Trouble
Some think mindful intimacy is only necessary for couples facing issues. However, it can benefit all relationships by enhancing intimacy and communication.
3. It Requires Extensive Knowledge or Practice
While learning is part of the journey, conscious sexuality is more about openness and willingness to explore rather than needing advanced techniques or education.
4. It’s All About New Techniques
Many assume Tantra is about learning new sexual positions or practices. In truth, it emphasizes understanding oneself and each other on a deeper level.
5. It’s a Fad or Trend
Some view mindful intimacy as a passing trend. In reality, it’s a timeless practice rooted in self-awareness and connection that has been valued across cultures for centuries.
6. It’s Only for Certain Types of Relationships
People often think Tantra is only for committed couples. However, it can be beneficial for any relationship, including casual ones, by promoting respect and understanding
7. It’s New-Agey and "Out There"
There’s a stereotype that Mindful Intimacy is only for hippies chanting in a circle. In truth, people of all ages and backgrounds benefit from a deeper intimate connection in and outside of the bedroom.
8. It’s Too Complicated
Some feel that taking the time to deeply connect before and during an intimate experience involves complex practices that are hard to implement. In reality, it can be as simple as being present and communicating openly with your partner.

Your Daily Retreat Itinerary
Saturday
Arrive in Liberia Airport. You can rent a car at the airport (everyone speaks English) or you can coordinate a shuttle through us.
If you come in a shuttle, our favorite driver Alex will give you a mini tour of Costa Rica sights. You might see monkeys, stop at a local fruit stand, and can stop to get lunch. The drive is about an hour and 45 minutes through well-paved green mountain roads.
You will probably arrive in the late afternoon/early evening, just in time to join us on the beach for a fish fry. Change into your beach attire, take off your shoes, and join us in the yoga shala for a fish fry and meet and greet.
Go to sleep with the sounds of the waves in your apartment on the beach.
Sunday
Wake up to fresh Costa Rica fruit breakfast overlooking the beach. Maybe take a walk down the beach and start exploring Samara Bay.
Your first workshop starts around 9-10am lead by the amazing Anita. You will have daily workshops each morning, with "assignments" to practice as a couple during the day. You will be guided through meditations, workshops, and activities.
Lunchtime: we will take everyone into town (or you can walk 15 minutes) and go grocery shopping for the week (or there are 20+ restaurants within walking distance!)
Evening: Join us for a huge bonfire activity on the beach, where we will lead you through an exercise in letting go and embracing a new start. (Or just have some beers and dance around the fire. :)
Monday
Our very gentle and kind yoga instructor Ashley will lead you through a meditation, followed by a gentle morning yoga routine overlooking the ocean waves.
After our morning couples workshop, join us in kayaking to an uninhabited island. This is a relaxing paddle with your partner to a close by island. You might see turtles, pelicans, sting rays and definitely crabs.
For dinner, we will walk to one of the cutest ocean front restaurants you have ever seen to enjoy dinner and drinks while we watch the sun go down.
Tuesday
Wake up this morning to partner yoga--a very connecting and sometimes hilarious feat as we use each other for balance. People who have never done yoga before often LOVE partner yoga!
After our morning couples workshop, get a boogie board lesson and grab a board to play in the waves. We are in a bay, so the waves are gentle and good for beginners.
In the evening, we have an optional Dolphin and Whale watching tour scheduled. Chase the whales in this boat tour with snorkeling included.
Wednesday
After our morning couples workshop, we will do a community activity of caring for Earth's beachfront and natural resources.
You can also go on an optional Ziplining tour today, floating above the jungle canopy with breathtaking views of the ocean.
It's BBQ night with the whole group tonight as we all make and bring a dish to our communal dinner in the yoga shala.
Thursday
By the end of the retreat and your final workshop, you’ll likely feel even closer and more connected to your partner. Of course we will start the day with our couples workshop.
For today’s fun and creative activity, we’ll take our paints and brushes to the beach for a relaxing en plein air painting session. You'll have the perfect setting to let your creativity flow and capture the beauty of the moment.
After dinner we will celebrate our entire week together with a private Margarita party and live music provided by the lovely Zoe. This is a magical evening listening to music under the stars and celebrating your new vision for your life going forward.
Friday
The event officially ends Friday morning as you head back to the airport. However, you can look forward to applying the valuable new skills you’ve gained long after the retreat ends. These insights and practices will become lasting tools, helping to strengthen your relationship, deepen your connection, and foster long-term growth and understanding with your partner.
