https://couples.contactyoga.org/harbin Step into the sacred waters of love and remembrance—where time slows, hearts open, and your union becomes a living prayer. Join experienced facilitators Anjuli & Alok for a soul-nourishing weekend to deepen intimacy, awaken embodied devotion, and reignite the spark of your connection.
Surrender, Connect, Nourish
In the whirlwind of life, it’s all too easy for intimacy to slip into the background. But true connection—sensual, soulful, and steady—requires spaciousness, presence, and loving intention.
This retreat is a sanctuary for couples to drop in, slow down, and rediscover one another through the language of touch, movement, and mindful attention. Enhanced with the healing waters of Harbin Hot Springs, this experience will reignite your spark and create space for sweetness. This inspiring space of sacred land and water creates a rare opportunity to set aside the to-do lists and reweave the threads of your relationship—body to body, heart to heart-with no distractions.
You will come away with powerful insights and new somatic tools to connect with your partner that you can take back home and incorporate into a weekly routine. To further support your integration, we will provide you with videos to continue the practice at home!
Harbin Hot Springs offers a sanctuary where natural beauty and spiritual renewal intertwine. Relax into the healing waters' calming and restorative embrace. As a clothing-optional retreat center, it invites guests to immerse themselves in a variety of hot and cold spring-fed pools, wander through tranquil gardens, and explore sacred spaces like the labyrinth and hiking trails. The absence of electronic distractions fosters deep presence, allowing couples to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the surrounding nature.
