COMMENTS FROM COUPLES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED "Intimacy Retreats" (Although only first names or initials appear below, many past participants are willing to speak with you. Let us know if you would like a personal reference!)

We went into this retreat looking for something to bring us back together the way we were when we first met; but what we received was a connection that surpasses first love. Rusty & Cherie, 2008 I just wanted to thank you again for the retreat last weekend.  We feel so much more connected now and believe that we have such a solid foundation on which we can keep building.  Chad was very thankful to meet a role model like Richard - we rarely see men be open like that.  I also appreciate the modeling of women as 'goddesses'.  I can already feel the empowerment of that belief, not only sexually, but in all areas of my life.  I am so excited for the next participants, thinking about what a tremendous opportunity they are about to experience.   Rachel, Dec. 2007 It was our 8th anniversary; we wanted to get away and dedicate a weekend just to us. We had noticed that, recently, there were times when we felt close, and other times when we didn’t feel close. We didn’t know what to do about it, other than go have sex or something, which really didn’t work to bring us closer. We both knew we wanted this deeper connection, this deeper intimacy.  ~ Nancy & David, Florida, 2008 "I wish we had learned this when we were first married, 25 years ago!"  C&G Richard and Diana created a warm, loving and spiritual teaching environment for us to reconnect emotionally, physically and spiritually. We had fallen into a pattern of living somewhat parallel, separate lives for some time prior to this retreat; now we're closer and more communicative than ever!  Thank you so much for guiding us to bring our marriage to the whole next level. D&E, Portland, ME Ben & Lisa (Mexico, 2008) I consider myself to be an average American guy - I like to drink beer, watch football, and fish. This workshop was Lisa's idea, and I went along because I love her and  knew how important it was to her. I would have rather gone fishing. That was looking forward. Looking back after the experience, I was sorry to see it end. Somewhere between arriving and departing, I did a complete 180. The setting, coupled with your insightful guidance, leadership, and camaraderie made this the best vacation I have ever taken. I came away totally rejuvenated. Lisa and I hug and giggle all the time. We act like little kids with a secret. Our passion has been rekindled and we are closer now than we've been in a long time.     The retreat went way beyond our expectations. Everything was well planned and executed with such warmth and intimacy. We loved all the background information shared about the history, theory, life examples and such as we are both excited through the learning process. I loved seeing the intimacy between Richard and Diana through their eyes, touch and communication style. We were both excited about going to the retreat because our mental connection is unlike any other connection we have ever had with anyone else and we wanted to enrich the intimacy to a higher level. The seeds have now been planted and we can watch them grow into something very special.   R&H, September 2007 "We learned to bring intimacy to us instead of waiting for it to show up. The weekend truly enriched our togetherness more than you know... " J&D "This workshop with its unique combination of Tantra and Tai Chi has had a very powerful impact on our lives. The connection we experienced in our personal relationship has had a lasting effect, and, more importantly, continues to grow as we practice." M&H "This short retreat rekindled our love and launched us into a new era of marriage. It personally reawakened my lower chakras creating a balanced energy. Thank you for providing a safe space and your loving professionalism."

He's showing up more open, peaceful, loving and listening more. Hmmmm ... how about that!" B&M "Our relationship was good, and now it's better!"   B&J   "When we arrived on Friday night, we were filled with sadness, frustration and loss of our connection. When we left on Sunday, we could not stop singing and laughing with joy. We were blissfully in touch again with our feelings of love for each other and the universe. The weekend was filled with stimulating ideas to re-establish broken bonds with each other and with ourselves. We cannot thank you enough for giving us back what we had lost due to illness and other adverse circumstances. Bravo to you and your work!" Maram & Larry "My beloved and I truly valued our experience. We were at a crucial time in our relationship - almost to the point of going our separate ways. The retreat has given us hope - for getting back what we were missing. With the easy-to-use exercises, we now have tools we can use to build and maintain an intimate relationship. L&R "I felt like a Goddess!" Nilza "Now we can understand that we share this wonderful spiritual bond that no one can break or come between!" B&R "Tantra is a very enlightening experience, it brought us closer together than we have been in many years, and probably saved our marriage."   J&G "This retreat is a great way to recognize and remember the life commitment you have with your partner!" "This workshop was better than we dreamed it could be. Skillfully designed to lead us around our individual and coupled "stuck places," to lead us into the depths of our desire for intimate connection. Diana and Richard presented it with immense generosity, heart, gentleness and candor and taught us practices that helped us to embody the new learnings." S&G "Diana and Richard created a personalized week for us as a celebration of our eleventh wedding anniversary.  The blending of tantra, massage and sacred ceremonies helped us renew our connection in a deep and profound way.  They had a knowledgable and intuitive sense of how to help us reach more deeply into ourselves and each other.   We still treasure what we learned and shared."   M&B "We have truly recaptured our love for each other and it was a lot easier than we thought it would be. It is funny how life manages to lead you in various directions--we feel we are back on track now that our focus has returned to our relationship. What a great sense of peace and joy! The intimacy CD is great! This experience has given our relationship a fresh outlook--we feel more deeply in love. Our thanks to you for sharing your knowledge and hospitality. You both are very unique individuals. Many thanks to your time and commitment to couples and love. I can't think of a more beautiful cause"   K&M "We came looking for a better sex life and found a much better LIFE with capital letters!"   P&L "As a runner, I thought that sex was like a marathon, running for pleasure, but my exhaustion at the end did not allow me to enjoy it.   Now I know that enjoying it mile after mile will bring me further in the pleasure. Before, sex was sex; now it is a journey to a wonderful paradise." "You created a very comfortable ambiance of sincerity and trust."
