Welcome back to nature and back to your relationship. The backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains invites your deeper connection to the earth, the rivers, the trees and the mountains as you step out of routine, slow down and connect with what matters most.
This immersion experience is about you and your relationship.
It's about discovering, noticing, trusting, valuing, and communicating genuine desires, needs, and wants.
It's about celebrating choice, using your voice, and becoming a master at deeply honoring you and your partner's desires in ways you may have never imagined:
The Pleasure Keys is not really about sex, per se. And though we'll use non-sexual touch and intimacy practice, it's also not really about touch. But everything you learn during this weekend will inform your sex life as well as every other area of your life.
All of your relationships will benefit, romantic or otherwise.
More than anything this retreat is about choice, voice, and cultivating the skills to masterfully navigating differences in desire so that you can get on the same page and experience mutual fulfillment for the long term.
Your relationship is mostly awesome.
You've been together for a long time and are curious to learn new ways to deepen the connection and explore new realms of your intimate relationship.
You are adventurers and lifelong learners who know the importance of investing in your relationship for long term satisfaction, joy and love.
You're interested in expanding the horizons, learning new approaches that can enhance the already amazing intimate relationship you have.
If this is you, The Pleasure Keys couples retreat will be a breath of fresh air, a new adventure, and a solid set of skills that will empower you to deepen and heighten what you've already got for a lifetime.
Your relationship is mostly awesome. You love each other very much and have been together for awhile.
But when it comes to finding mutual fulfillment and navigating differences in desire you feel like you're always hitting roadblocks.
The frustration and resentment has reached it's limit.
The issue is taking up a lot of mental space now, incessantly dominating your thoughts throughout the day, seeping into your life as you lie awake at night stewing behind that wall of resentment that just seems to be getting thicker brick by brick with each passing day:
And secretly you're both thinking....
"Maybe we just aren't compatible."
"My wife and I were struggling with different levels of desire for physical intimacy and were unable to break free of all the external distractions in order to just focus on each other and our relationship. After attending the retreat, I know how to ask my wife for what she needs and how to be more present for us and our relationship." -Dwayne T.
If you resonate with the above scenario you are not alone. Almost every couple I meet experiences some version of the above frustration in sex and intimacy. That's because nobody ever actually taught us about PLEASURE.
Nobody actually taught us exactly HOW pleasure is dependent on 9 foundational principles that need to be mastered.
Nobody told us that without these 9 "keys" we are doomed to an intimate life of pleasing and appeasing, hitting endless roadblocks in libido levels, and what seems like a never ending cycle of being the rejector or the rejected.
But it's NOT that you are sexually incompatible. You and your partner are likely very compatible in many ways, including sexually, or you wouldn't be together.
I feel your pain. And I am here to tell you that it doesn't have to be this way!
This is why I created The Pleasure Keys Process tm and the Pleasure Keys Immersion.
"Before attending the retreat, I had a hard time allowing myself to seek pleasure. I did not know what wanted and had a hard time being present. After completing the Pleasure Keys retreat, I am now able to communicate my needs and desires and understand my limits and boundaries. I discovered what I want and need and I’m no longer afraid to ask for what I want. This experience was nothing short of amazing!"-T.T.
This is a very solvable problem! The Pleasure Keys Immersion is the solution.
Through a simple and easy to understand framework that includes non-sexual touch practices coupled with experiential non-sexual intimacy practices, The Pleasure Keys equip you with deep experiential learning so that you can resolve the obstacles to mutual pleasure and enjoyment.
By learning the Pleasure Keys Process tm in this experiential weekend immersion retreat format, you'll celebrate as the frustration, confusion, resentment and guilt are replaced with curiosity, excitement, pleasure, and deep connection.
And the best part is that what you'll learn and experience during the Pleasure Keys retreat is repeatable! You'll be able to take what you learn in the weekend and continue to expand and deepen the skills in your relationship for the long term.
This retreat is for couples who:
This retreat is NOT for couples who:
"We were both struggling with knowing what we wanted and how to communicate those desires to one another. The retreat gave us an opportunity to discover and explore our desires in a safe space with each other. Susan broke down the learning really well in to small digestible pieces and we were surprised by how much progress we made in a short amount of time."--Anonymous
After attending the Pleasure Keys Immersion You'll Be Able To:
The Pleasure Keys Immersion does NOT include any sexual touching or nudity. All of the activities and practices are done fully clothed and you'll be working with your partner for the entire weekend.
The Pleasure Keys Immersion is a couples retreat designed to be fun and playful but it's NOT just a fluffy "feel good" experience. Working directly with the body and encountering the obstacles we have to pleasure, requires dedication and effort to show up fully and vulnerably. It can be uncomfortable at times as much as it can be exhilarating. All of this is good because that's where the growth happens!
