Rooted Connection ~ A Revitalizing Retreat for Couples

Rooted Connection

Enjoy Haramara’s delicious cuisine

Join us this Spring for a tropical escape designed to rekindle and recharge your relationship. Rooted in the wisdom of neuroscience and attachment theory, presented with a touch of humor and magic, this retreat is open to all couples who wish to deepen their connections and strengthen their bonds. We are overjoyed to host this retreat at Haramara, where the tranquil and nurturing surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for this transformative experience.

Our days will be beautifully framed with two yoga classes, and we are delighted to have Liz Suchinda as our resident yoga instructor. Liz will guide you through practices that are accessible for both beginners and seasoned yogis. Mornings will start with a vigorous flow class to energize you for the day, while our evening sessions will offer a slower, more reflective practice, both designed to nurture your connection as a couple.

We believe in the rejuvenating power of taking time to retreat. Every relationship benefits from thoughtful attention, and dedicating time to nurture your primary connection can infuse new energy into every area of your life. This retreat is ideal for couples who want to reconnect or deepen their bond. We’ll offer you the tools for meaningful conversations and shared experiences that matter. If you’re looking for a party or if your relationship is in crisis, this retreat may not be the best fit.
