Love. Companionship. Intimacy and sexuality. These are vital aspects of our most intimate relationships in life, and finding ways to enhance and support these aspects of our relationships -- with our spouses, partners or significant other -- is important. For those of us who are single, these aspects of relationship are often the primary reasons we seek to enter into new relationships.

Yet there is something greater which is possible -- a Soulful Relationship.

A Soulful Relationship exists among people when -- in addition to the love, companionship, intimacy, partnership and/or sexuality found within the relationship -- they consciously use their relationship as a path, vehicle or laboratory for profound personal and/or spiritual growth.

The Soulful Relationships Retreat is for both people who are already in relationship and for those now seeking relationship. Though the retreat will impact how we relate in all forms of relationship, above all, this retreat is for those who are seeking a more profound dive into the nature of intimate partnership. Nothing works more efficiently or powerfully in freeing up the unhealed areas of our selves -- the areas that are in need of attention and healing -- than by consciously engaging in an intimate relationship.

Whether you:

• are seeking a soulful relationship,
• have recently entered into a relationship, or
• wish to take your current relationship into a new level of partnership

• Identify and release fears and blocks you may have related to intimacy, freeing you up to create more soulful relationships;
• Learn and practice with a powerful model of the ego, discovering new levels of understanding regarding its role in your own relationships;
• Develop new practices to assist you in using all of your relationships as a conscious vehicle for spiritual growth and evolution;
• Learn and practice powerful communication and relating skills for intimate and other close relationships;
• Play with the nature of projection, seeing how it works to keep you blind to unhealed areas in your self. You will develop new abilities to use relationship as a way to see your projections and thereby learn to heal your self ongoingly;
• Explore and deepen your appreciation for the sacred mysteries of intimate partnership, giving you new access to the "secrets" of how to have powerful, intimate, loving relationships that work.

The retreat will open the first evening with a quiet meal, opening ritual and our first Transformational Breathing session. Successive breathwork sessions will be offered each day, and the retreat will close in ritual Sunday late afternoon.

Generous amounts of free time will be provided throughout the weekend, and participants will be encouraged to take hikes, sit in solitude, or find other opportunities to reflect on their life. The food offered throughout the weekend will be generous, healthy and delicious. Optional massage may be available at additional charge. This retreat is appropriate for all persons regardless of training or background.

Soulful Relationships retreat is currently scheduled for March 26-29, 2009 in our exquisite Lake Iosco Retreat House in NJ.
