Frequently Asked Questions

Our retreats combine luxury experiences with evidence-based relationship work in an intimate setting of just 5 couples. Unlike typical couples therapy, we focus on experiential learning and practical tools in a beautiful setting, without the clinical atmosphere. Our retreat was designed by a licensed couples therapist but offers a unique blend of education, relaxation, and transformation.

Yes! Whether you're newly committed, long-term partners, or married for decades, this retreat is designed to meet you where you are. Some couples come to deepen an already strong connection, while others use this as an opportunity to work through specific challenges. The curriculum adapts to the needs of participants while maintaining privacy and comfort for all.

Your retreat price includes luxury accommodations at Renault Winery for 3 days/2 nights (October 5-7, 2025), all relationship workshops and materials, gourmet meals with wine pairings, and access to the winery grounds and facilities. The only additional costs would be transportation to/from the retreat location and any optional spa services or personal purchases.

Deposits are non-refundable, but if you need to cancel, you can transfer your registration to a future retreat (subject to availability) if you notify us at least 60 days before the retreat date. Cancellations within 60 days are non-refundable, but we do offer the option to gift or sell your spot to another couple if needed.

This is not group therapy, and you'll never be required to share anything you're not comfortable with. While our curriculum was designed by a licensed therapist, the focus is on education, skill-building, and experiences rather than therapy. Most exercises are done privately as a couple, with group discussions focused on general concepts rather than personal details.
