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.

OPPORTUNITY for you to relax, regroup, and refresh yourself in
preparation for the advent of springtime! We will melt away any
residual tightness created by the coldness of winter, and prepare to
blossom fully into springtime. Giving yourself this chance to retreat
from your life in order to gain a bird’s eye view of the habits and
perspectives that may unconsciously drive you is nothing less than a
gift of liberation. Your efforts here will surely enLIGHTen your spirit
which often feels caged by urban living.Drawing from the inherent balance that the Vernal Equinox symbolizes, Jill and Corina will help you find your own harmonious center, balancing light with darkness, effort with surrender, Shiva (Divine Consciousness) with Shakti (Cosmic Energy). In a place as beautiful as the Luna Lodge in sublime Costa Rica you will feel the pristine way in which humans live in balance with nature, and you will marvel at the majesty of life on Earth. Our offerings will balance Yin with Yang; active, expansive and powerful physical yoga practice with receptive, grounded and introspective physical yoga practice. We will offer pranayama, asana and chanting to prepare for deeper states of meditative absorption. Listening to the Howler Monkeys, feeling the tropical breeze, sitting high atop a platform in the canopy of the rainforest, all notions of duality are likely to disappear as you find yourself blended harmoniously into the fabric of wholeness. There will be early morning yoga, and late afternoon yoga ... with a great deal of free time in between. Our scheduling good fortune has our retreat occurring during the Full Moon, which itself symbolizes the richness of contentment, a state of wholeness which always leads to gratitude. You will find ways to truly appreciate the many gifts in your life: the material and the ethereal. Each participant is invited to bring something inspirational: a poem, a story, a picture (that can withstand the journey). On the evening of the Full Moon we will have the opportunity to share what inspires us individually, raising the vibration of the group as a whole. In addition to yoga and contemplation, other activities include: hiking in the pristine rainforest, chilling on the beach, and/or participating in one of the many tours they offer (of course, they come with an extra fee). As a group we will take a Corcovado Park Tour, and a Waterfall tour, and each participant will enjoy a one-hour bodywork treatment.
