Discovering Sexuality
for Couples
April 1st–4th, 2027
Nature Community · Schönsee, Germany
What becomes possible when two different people
meet in a sexual space without past or future?
The Invitation
Ana and Gabriela invite you to embark on a shared journey, a space dedicated to expanding consciousness and presence through a tender, playful and powerful exploration of love and sexuality within couples.
Many of us learn to navigate sexuality through silence, assumptions, magazines, the internet, porn, Hollywood blockbusters, cultural expectations and unspoken rules. We may learn to suppress pleasure and our desires, avoid difficult conversations, or expect that if our partner truly loves us, sex, desire and intimacy should simply happen naturally.
What becomes possible when you stop trying to make sexuality fit an idea of how it should be?
We open this space to upgrade our thoughtware about sexuality and Love in partnership with embodied practices and hands-on experiments.
Why this space?
Sexuality can be one of the places where we experience the deepest connection with another person, and also one of the places where our fears, expectations, wounds, shame, desires and patterns become most visible.
We want to create a space where couples can meet these places with curiosity rather than judgement.
A space to slow down.
To become more present.
To listen more deeply.
To open up to pleasure.
To discover what is actually alive between two people, beyond what we think should be happening.
And to explore what becomes possible when sexuality is approached not as a performance or a problem to solve, but as a field of conscious creation.

What we will explore
Seven doorways into Love
- 01
Collaboration
Cultivating sexual spaces as opportunities for collaboration, discovery, healing, fun and intimacy.
- 02
Difference & Magnetism
Exploring differences in sexual energy, desire, embodiment and relating, and discovering how differences can become sources of curiosity, magnetism and collaboration rather than separation and conflict.
- 03
Bodies & Taboos
Composting taboos around the physical body, pleasure, vulnerability and surrender.
- 04
Presence & Communication
Practising hands-on tools for presence, communication, negotiation and embodied pleasure.
- 05
Meeting in Sexual Space
Exploring what happens when two people truly meet in a sexual space.
- 06
Beyond Secrecy
Moving beyond secrecy and isolation around sexuality and creating a field of inspiration, exchange and exploration with other courageous couples.
- 07
Deeper Contact
Discovering what supports deeper contact, love and conscious creation, and what might be standing in the way.
Who might this space be for?
This space is for couples who want to explore their sexuality and intimacy together in a different way.
You might be longing to:
- discover new dimensions of your sexual connection;
- bring more presence, playfulness and curiosity into your relationship space;
- explore conversations and experiences that you don't usually have space for in everyday life;
- deepen your connection with yourself, your partner and your shared sexual space.
You don't need to have a problem to solve, a particular experience to achieve, or everything figured out. Curiosity, openness and a willingness to explore together are enough.
What this space is not
This space is not a tantra retreat, or a space where couples are expected to perform, expose themselves, share intimate details they don't wish to share, or engage sexually with other participants.
The work happens primarily within your own couple.
You are invited to discover your own edges while respecting your own and your partner's boundaries.
Whether you feel blocked or open, tender or uncertain, this space welcomes all that you are in the love and sexual facet of your life.
You are not alone in your questions, your longings, or your challenges. In fact, it is often through meeting others in vulnerability that healing and transformation become possible.
This is a space for us to discover what is possible in the sexual space between lovers and what stands in the way of deeper contact, love and conscious creation.
With love and fun,
Ana and Gabriela

Words from participants in previous spaces
“We initially attended the conscious sexuality workshop out of curiosity and a desire to learn how we could better connect with each other’s bodies and deepen our intimacy as a couple.
…What surprised us was how much more the workshop offered. It wasn’t simply about sexuality or physical connection, it opened the door to a much deeper journey of self-awareness and healing.
We explored what can get in the way of being truly conscious and present in our sexuality, and discovered that genuine connection with another person begins with becoming more conscious and connected with ourselves.
The experience was incredibly deep, honest and worthwhile. It gave us space to explore the valley of pleasure, the current and more of ourselves individually, while also creating a stronger understanding and connection between us as a couple.
We came away with much more than we expected, ultimately feeling more connected, open and present with each other. It was a truly meaningful experience that we would highly recommend to couples who are curious to explore physical and emotional intimacy on a deeper level.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Before we go in, tell me
are you willing to enter the house with me
not knowing who I am at all?
Will you meet me for the first time,
without the furniture of your ideas,
without the paintings already hung on the walls?
There is a part of me
that wants to be seen by you
as if newly arrived.
It is delicate.
It wants to play.
I want to know
whether you are a slave of your thoughts,
whether they will grow loud,
fighting for the meaning of what you see.
Please be honest.
I am listening.
