Pleasure, Presence, & Intimacy retreat brings together years of personal practice and client experience to deliver a week rich in depth and beauty.

We created the program specifically to promote an opportunity for deepening intimacy and supporting coupled evolution based on Sophia’s years of experience as a Tantra therapist and coach and Julian’s 20+ years as a bodywork educator, facilitator and embodiment guide. Numerous couples and mentees have celebrated the benefits and results these practices have brung over the years. Julian is thrilled to bring this renewed program back with updates and Sophias magic. Julian ran a series of Pleasure, Presence and Intimacy (PPI) retreats in 2017 and 2018 which were much loved by the participants. Now PPI is back with updates and its own evolution to share with you.

Get ready. You are about to embark on a new phase of your relationship.

Julian is offering a strong couples focus now in erotic embodiment guidance and relational bodywork with a mix of in-person sessions in his practice, online guidance and private couples retreats and immersions. His unique blend of somatics, sexology and Taoist sexual alchemy practices help open new levels of energetic, relational and embodied potential. Connect to your life force, resource and love with vitality, curiousity and radical acceptance to transend limiting patterns and drop into the direct route to pleasure, presence and intimacy.


Experience Renewed Connection and Passion

Are you yearning for the end of feeling disconnected and stagnant in your relationship?
If you've been grappling with these emotions, you've likely felt a deep longing for that spark of intimacy and excitement that once defined your love.

These feelings often arise when communication fails, and intimacy decreases, leaving you and your partner feeling like ships passing in the night. But there is hope.

The truth is, many couples fall into the trap of neglecting their relationship, allowing misunderstandings to fester and intimacy to dwindle. As a result, the once vibrant connection begins to fade, leaving behind a sense of emptiness and longing.

But here's the secret few people realize: the path to reigniting your love and passion can be simpler than you think. Through our proven methodology, rooted in fostering deeper communication, reigniting intimacy, and rediscovering passion, we'll guide you and your partner back to the vibrant, fulfilling relationship you crave.

The Practices

Our methodology combines elements of Tantra, Tao, Somatic Bodywork, and more, to create a holistic approach to deepening connection and intimacy. Through experiential practices, you'll learn practical tools to enhance pleasure, presence, and intimacy in your relationship.


TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP

INTO ONE FILLED WITH PASSION, CONNECTION, AND JOY.
