Q: Is this a sex retreat?
A: No. It is not a Cuddle Party or "sex retreat." It is PG rated. However, discussions may include sexuality as part of exploring the components of intimacy.
The time is right!
Q: I want to go but I am solo.
Great. This is not a couples retreat, although partners can get something out of it. We have assistants who make sure that no one is ever alone in any activity.
