Inner Sanctum Retreat is my proposal to couples who dare to prioritize their relational and sexual fulfillment, and who hold a high regard for both the masculine & the feminine. This intimate space beckons couples to be still, relax and relate authentically to one another, while enjoying passion, pleasure & play as friends and lovers.

The Lovers’ Dance
~Embracing the mystics view of eroticism as that capacity of maintaining aliveness, vibrancy, vitality, life source and life energy.
~Developing erotic intelligence through connecting with one another in experiential qualities such as: renewal, playfulness, curiosity, mystery and transcendence.
~Understanding that your ability ‘to anticipate and imagine’ expands your creativity, emotional intelligence and eroticism. However, it can also ignite suspicion, insecurity and fear of bad outcomes with underpinnings of powerlessness. Intimacy is always risky!
Finessing the Lovers’ Dance is clarified and dramatically enhanced by attending Inner Sanctum Intimacy Retreat.
On Marriage by
Kahlil Gibran
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
Letting go of your ego....
Surrender your need to look good, feel good, be right, be in control or feel exceptional.
Replace these attachments with committing self-less acts for the service and benefit of another person, without expecting anything in return.
The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, forgive the other, forgive the situation, and realize “it” is over, you cannot move forward…
Forget what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you. Shannon L. Alder
