Reignite Your Love Couples Retreat
A transformative couples experience for healing, intimacy, & connection
Costa Rica
Nov. 10th-15th, 2026
If you’re a deeply committed couple who’s ready to break free from your marital rut and rediscover the ease, laughter, and desire that makes you feel alive, then join us for this relationship-awakening couples retreat, where you’ll unwind in Costa Rica’s magical rainforest and come away with renewed intimacy and practical tools to create a thriving relationship—so you can return home re-energized, deeply connected, and feeling more in love than ever.
Picture this...
At the foot of a cascading waterfall, time slows. The jungle hums—alive with birdsong, rustling leaves, and the soft drum beat of water meeting stone. The tension you’ve been carrying for months, maybe years, finally slips from your shoulders and disappears into the mist as you settled into this magical couples retreat. The air is thick with oxygen and possibility. You take in a deep, moss-sweet breath, and as you exhale, something inside you stirs—an electric current long dormant, now crackling back to life.
You lock eyes, and instantly, you remember. Not just the love, but the want. The heat. The ache. Your body hums with recognition—flooded with desire that feels both ancient and startlingly new. Every cell begs you not to forget. This is what you’ve been fighting for.
Surrounded by the rainforest’s emerald cathedral—vines curling, orchids blooming, sunlight dripping through the canopy—you feel yourself soften, surrender, and open. Gratitude pulses between you. Laughter spills out with ease. The desire to touch, to taste, to know one another again is undeniable.
And in that moment, you both realize:
There’s still so much more of this love to discover.
As you settle into the lush stillness of the rainforest, something stirs. That brave, adventurous part of you—the one that’s been buried under to-do lists and tired routines—comes alive again. You step into the cool, turquoise water, and a burst of laughter escapes your lips—pure, unfiltered joy. For a fleeting moment, you wonder: If heaven exists, maybe this is it.
You take in the rush of the waterfall, the kaleidoscope of green leaves dancing above you, and the gentle current wrapping around you like a gentle embrace. Your heart swells with gratitude—not just for the beauty around you, but for the people beside you.
You think of the other couples, the ones who let you witness their softness, their struggle, their spark returning. In their stories, you saw pieces of your own. And suddenly, it hits you: We’re not alone in this.
There’s something sacred about being held—by nature, by intention, by a community of people willing to be real. You feel safe enough to go deeper. To open wider. And you know these friendships will follow you home. They’re not just retreat memories. They’re soul ties—rooted in this wild, beautiful place, and built to last a lifetime.

You Need Something To Change
How amazing would it be if you stopped feeling like strangers sharing a calendar and started feeling like lovers again?
Every activity is thoughtfully designed to help you peel back the layers, spark curiosity, and rediscover the parts of each other that may have gotten buried under routines, stress, or silence. You won’t just learn new tools—you’ll see your partner through fresh eyes, uncover hidden desires, and reconnect in ways that feel real, exciting, and deeply intimate.
Can you imagine how good it would feel to have real conversations about your needs and desires—without shutdowns, standoffs, or shame?
Learn how to talk to each other in a way that builds connection instead of tension. We’ll guide you through tools that help you express what you really want—emotionally and physically—with clarity, confidence, and care. No more tiptoeing, avoiding, or bracing for impact. Just honest, heart-centered conversations that bring you closer instead of pulling you apart.
How relaxing would it be to press pause on the chaos and remember how good you can be when you actually make space for each other?
This is your permission to slow down—really slow down—and just be. No rushing, no deadlines, no juggling a dozen roles. Just the quiet hum of the jungle, the warmth of the sun, and the chance to feel your nervous system finally exhale. When the noise fades, something beautiful happens: you find each other again—in laughter, in touch, in presence. And it feels like coming home.
Wouldn’t it be incredible to have sex that doesn’t feel like an obligation or a performance?
Here, you’ll have the space and support, to unlearn the habits that make sex feel pressured, disconnected, or just…flat. You’ll explore new ways to experience pleasure that feel safe, playful, and deeply satisfying—for both of you. No more guessing, performing, or going through the motions. Just real connection, real desire, and the freedom to feel good in your body and with each other again.
Wouldn’t it be a relief to know your marriage is not just surviving—but thriving?
This retreat isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about learning how to breathe new life into your relationship—again and again. Because let’s be honest: things will get hard, life will get busy, and connection will slip… but next time, you won’t panic. You’ll have the tools, the language, and the confidence to notice the drift and choose each other—on purpose. Not just now, but every time it matters.
This Couples Retreat Sounds Amazing!
What Makes Costa Rica The Place To Be?
As soon as you reach the couples retreat, you realize Costa Rica is where the wild meets the sacred. A country wrapped in emerald rainforest, kissed by two oceans, and pulsing with life at every turn. The air is thick with the scent of rain-soaked earth and blooming orchids. Step outside and see scarlet macaws flash across the sky, hear howler monkeys echo in the distance, and waterfalls tumble down moss-covered cliffs like ancient lullabies.
The light here is different—golden, dappled, making you feel alive. Mornings are slow and honey-warm. Afternoons are filled with the hum of cicadas and the quiet hush of the forest breathing. Evenings bring cool breezes and starlit skies that stretch on forever.
Everywhere you go, you’re met with pura vida—a phrase that means “pure life,” but feels like an invitation. To be present. To soften. To remember what it feels like to be human, unhurried, and connected to the world around you.
Costa Rica doesn’t demand anything from you.
It simply welcomes you—fully, generously, and without pretense.
It’s not just beautiful. It’s alive. And it changes you.
...And The Comida!
In Costa Rica, food isn’t just fuel—it’s a celebration of life. Each meal is a divine, nourishing experience that reflects the richness of the land and the warmth of its people. Think sun-ripened fruits bursting with flavor, herbs picked just hours before your plate, and dishes crafted with care using ingredients grown steps away from where you dine.
Meals are served in an open-air dining space, where the breeze drifts through palm leaves. Here, you’ll savor gourmet Latin-inspired cuisine that is both healthy and indulgent—meals that leave you feeling satisfied, energized, and deeply cared for.
Costa Rican cooking is a soulful blend of Indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Caribbean traditions. You’ll taste comfort in every spoonful of gallo pinto, brightness in citrus-dressed salads, and warmth in roasted vegetables kissed by wood-fired heat.
And then there’s the fruit—tropical, ripe, and endlessly surprising. Bananas and mangos mingle with the more exotic guanábana, starfruit, pejibaye, and rambutan. Juices are fresh-pressed and meals are made with intention, not just for the body—but for the spirit.
Each bite reminds you: simplicity can be exquisite. And pleasure doesn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being.
This Is The Honeymoon We Should've Gone On!
The Difference Between Retreats & Couples Therapy
Tune out the noise and tune into each other.
No distractions, adulting obligations, or exhaustion from your daily grind to get in the way. This sexy escape and nurturing guidance gets you out of your head and back to fun and erotic play.
I love providing couples and sex therapy to my clients. I love deconstructing stubborn, hard-to-break, destructive paradigms surrounding sex, intimacy, and relationships. I love giving couples new language and tools to rediscover their passion and ignite their love life.
However, through all my work, I continue to come up against the realities of anxiety, fear, and shame that get tightly interwoven into our erotic identities. I listen compassionately as couples share the falls, fumbles, and at times, complete panic when tools discussed in session are put into practice in the privacy of their home.
This retreat is the answer to that. Here, you’ll find a small intimate community of like-minded couples to help normalize the very TYPICAL challenges concerning sex and intimacy.
You will give yourself the opportunity to settle into a sensual space with your partner.
You will learn to approach eroticism with ease (and aligned with your relationship values). You will learn by seeing, listening, and doing the work without your daily interruptions.
You have permission to fully indulge in playfulness and pleasure.
What's In Store...
This Is The Couples Retreat We Need!
What's Awaiting You?
This retreat is your permission to pause the chaos, drop the roles, and remember each other—not just as parents or partners, but as lovers, friends, and whole people.
You’ll walk in feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, maybe even afraid to hope…And you’ll walk out holding hands, hearts open, and bodies reawakened.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not another checklist.
It’s the breath of fresh air your relationship has been gasping for.
It’s a turning point.
And it’s waiting for you here.
You’ll Walk Away With…
A renewed sense of desire—not just for each other, but for your life together
Tools to talk about sex, intimacy, and emotional needs without tension or shame
A deeper emotional connection that feels safe, honest, and alive
Tangible ways to make pleasure and play a regular part of your relationship—not just a lucky accident
A release of unspoken resentment and the emotional baggage that’s been building for years
Clarity on how to show up for each other in a way that actually feels good, not performative
New rituals and practices you can use at home to keep the spark alive long after the retreat
A shared memory of joy, laughter, and tenderness that reminds you: we’re still in this
Confidence in your ability to reconnect and stay connected—even through the chaos of real life
A love that feels exciting, embodied, and fully your own again
...With Cherries On Top!
To ensure this experience meets your unique needs and that you feel supported every step of the way, your journey begins and ends with one-on-one care. You’ll receive a private pre-retreat consultation to help you set intentions and share any personal goals, and a post-retreat integration session to support the transition back into everyday life with clarity and connection.
Before we gather in person, you’ll also be invited into a private WhatsApp group—a welcoming space to say hello, get to know your fellow couples, and start building the sense of community that will carry you through the retreat and beyond.

Our Relationship Deserves Intention!
A Little About Your Guide
I’m Dr. Jasmonae Joyriel—licensed clinical psychologist, yes, but also someone who’s done the messy, necessary work of healing and rebuilding from the inside out.
I was once in a marriage that slowly became something I couldn’t recognize—an abusive relationship that left me questioning everything I thought I knew about love, boundaries, and my own worth. And when I finally left, I knew I had work to do. I needed to unlearn the warped lessons I’d picked up about love, power, and what it meant to be chosen. I didn’t just want to heal—I wanted to rewrite the whole damn script.
At the same time, I was building my career as a psychologist. I didn’t go into this work because of what I went through, but there’s no doubt it sharpened my vision. I see the similar patterns in my clients—especially couples who love each other but can’t talk about what they actually need. Sex, intimacy, affection, boundaries, resentment… most of it gets swept under the rug until it turns into silence, avoidance, or a passive-aggressive jab over the dishes.
For nearly a decade, I’ve helped couples come back from affairs, from numbness, from “should we even be together?” moments—and not just survive, but create relationships that feel emotionally rich, deeply connected, and (yes) wildly pleasurable.
And somewhere along the way, I met someone. He didn’t save me—
He just made it safe to be fully myself. Our relationship is intentional, honest, and full of play. We talk about the hard stuff (sometimes with eye rolls), prioritize pleasure (not just the steamy kind), and never stop learning—or laughing. We’re two very independent people who are choosing each other, every day, without losing ourselves in the process.
This retreat exists because I know that sometimes talking isn’t enough. We need to feel it. Embody it. Practice it. We need guidance to move through the clunky, awkward, unsure moments so we can taste what’s on the other side—ease, intimacy, and real joy.
You don’t need to suffer the way I did to deserve that.
You don’t need to wait until your relationship is on life support.
There is so much available to you right now.
Let’s go get it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a lifestyle retreat?
No, this is not a lifestyle retreat. While we welcome all couples, that is not the intention of this experience.
Each activity is intentionally designed to uncover, reveal, or heal past experiences and connect with your partner in more gratifying ways. Group activities will be mindful of everyone’s comfort and boundaries.
*Couples do not need to share with others beyond their AGREED comfort.
We are newlyweds. Would this retreat be right for us?
Absolutely. Whether you’re newly married, in a long-term relationship, or somewhere in between, the tools you’ll learn at this retreat are designed to meet you where you are. You’ll explore how to show up with intention, communicate openly, navigate tricky or uncomfortable conversations, and build a foundation of intimacy and pleasure that grows with you. It’s never too early—or too late—to invest in your connection.
Can throuples attend?
Not all relationships are structured the same. While the general approach is designed for a dyad, we are more than happy to accommodate non-traditional relationships.
How many couples will be attending?
To ensure a safe, intimate space where real connection can unfold, this retreat is limited to just 8 couples. This allows for deeper conversation, personalized support, and a setting where vulnerability feels not just possible—but welcomed.
Can you tell us anything about the activities we'll doing offsite?
We’re keeping the details a surprise to preserve a sense of adventure—but here’s what we can share: the off-site experiences will take place outdoors and may include elements like hiking, heights, and water. If any of these feel out of your comfort zone, you’re always welcome to opt out of specific parts—we’ll never push you beyond what feels safe for you.
That said, we do gently encourage you to lean into the unfamiliar. Some of the most powerful breakthroughs happen when we step outside our routines—and into something new, together.
Can you tell me more about the travel arrangements
You’ll be responsible for booking your own flights to Costa Rica. We’ll provide complimentary shuttle transportation from San José (SJO) to the retreat location. If you prefer to take a connecting flight to a closer regional airport, that option is available—but it’s not included in your retreat package and will need to be arranged separately.
Hotel details will be shared after registration, but rest assured—it’s intimate, luxurious, and has all the charm and comfort of a honeymoon dream. Think: breathtaking surroundings, cozy touches, and everything you need to relax, reconnect, and indulge.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We’ve got you covered. Just be sure to clearly note any dietary restrictions or allergies on your intake form so we can accommodate your needs with care and intention.
While this is not an alcohol-free retreat, the focus is on presence, intimacy, and connection—not checking out. We invite you to treat this weekend as a chance to truly tune in—to yourself and to your partner—and consider giving yourself the gift of mindful indulgence and meaningful connection.
What will the weather be like?
November is a beautiful time to visit Costa Rica. It’s the tail end of the rainy season, which means you can expect warm, sunny mornings and the occasional light afternoon shower—especially earlier in the month. Temperatures typically range from the upper 70s to mid-80s °F during the day, and cool to the 60s or low 70s °F at night.
The landscape is incredibly vibrant, waterfalls are full, and the air feels fresh and alive. It’s also less crowded than peak season, offering a more peaceful and intimate experience.
What should I pack?
Think comfortable, functional, and a little bit fun. Here’s a list to help you feel prepared (and fabulous):
A couple of swimsuits – for lounging, dipping, and soaking it all in
Your favorite yoga mat – for grounding, stretching, and reconnecting
Tropical date night attire – light, breezy, and a little flirty for our special evening out
Hiking shoes – for off-site adventures and exploring the natural beauty of Costa Rica
Athleisure or comfy clothes – for daily sessions and movement-based practices
Light layers – mornings and evenings can be cooler, especially in the rainforest
A light rain jacket – afternoon showers are common (and kind of magical)
Plenty of sunblock – the sun doesn’t play
Dramamine or motion sickness support – just in case, especially for winding roads or boat rides
We want you to feel at ease and prepared, so pack what helps you feel like your most relaxed, embodied self. And don’t worry—we’ll send a final packing checklist closer to departure!
What will the sessions with you look like?
Each day includes a morning session and an afternoon session, with 2–3 breaks built into each to give you time to rest, reflect, and reconnect. Sessions are a mix of teaching, guided exercises, and experiential practices designed to help you explore intimacy, communication, and connection in real, meaningful ways.
We’ll typically wrap up our structured sessions by late afternoon, leaving your evenings open to enjoy the property, spend time together, or simply relax. One evening will include a group dinner, but outside of that, you’re encouraged to dine solo or with others—whatever best supports your relationship.
Each night, we’ll come together for a guided sharing circle—a chance to reflect on the day, witness each other’s growth, and feel supported by the group. These circles often become one of the most powerful parts of the retreat.
This experience is intentionally paced—to give you space, support, and the freedom to show up exactly as you are.
What if we are looking for couples or sex therapy?
This retreat is not therapy—it’s an immersive, guided experience designed to help you reconnect, reignite intimacy, and rediscover excitement in your relationship. While you’ll receive powerful tools, practices, and expert support throughout the journey, I will not be acting as your therapist during this retreat.
If you’re specifically seeking couples or sex therapy, I’d be happy to discuss that separately. Please feel free to email me directly to inquire about current openings for private therapy sessions. Let’s make sure you get the kind of support that best fits your needs.
