Do you feel that the spark in your relationship is increasingly lacking and that the irritations are increasing? Are the conversations about practical matters? Then it is time for a change! Far away from the daily grind, we organize the best couples therapy retreat in southwest France.
Imagine: together with your partner in the enchanting south of France, away from the daily routine. Our exclusive 8-day Relationship Retreat offers you the chance to reconnect and let love blossom.
During this week we focus entirely on you as a couple. Through personal sessions and joint activities, you will rediscover each other, more deeply than ever. The serene environment of Domaine l’Arpent, with its breathtaking view of the Pyrenees, is the perfect setting for this transformation.

Has the passion waned a bit or do you want more depth? It doesn’t have to be a crisis to change that now. Celebrate your relationship and rediscover each other on a deeper level. ❤️
👉 The secret of a sparkling relationship? It is not in grand gestures, but in small intentions full of meaning. By consciously looking at the dynamics between you, you can make room for new connections and renewed energy. It is not always the big change, but rather the subtle work that makes love blossom again.

Is your relationship running on autopilot?
Is there little emotional connection left in your relationship life?
Do you mainly talk about practical chores and who will pick up the children?
Then this week is really something for you!
This special relationship journey is a unique form of relationship therapy in France and suitable for every couple who feels the need to shape their relationship on a deeper level. To seek out the connection together on different levels, to (re)discover and (re)calibrate. This entire retreat week is dedicated to you as individuals and you as a whole.
Old wounds unintentionally take on a life of their own. This mode is so familiar that you take it with you from old relationships and experience it as normal. You think that this is who you really are and unconsciously project this onto the other. During this relationship journey you become aware of the deep effect of old processes and how they resonate with the other. You (re)connect with the power to heal yourself and your relationship.
A full relationship week together with your partner brings you more depth and powerful connection through:
✔️ attention to yourself
✔️ attention to the other
✔️ attention to each other
As a couple, you don’t have to have a crisis to explore, discover and deepen your relationship on a different level. When you are in love, love flows naturally. Little scratches and dents slowly appear due to misunderstood expectations, unspoken disappointments or your own blocking experiences. Visualizing each other’s expectations and needs creates clarity and offers space for connection on a different and deeper level; both in young relationships and in more mature relationships.
What are we going to do during the relationship journey?
In this special relationship journey we will work very practically and exploratively on the foundations of connection, attachment, basic needs, making contact, love language, communication and the links from I to WE. During a trajectory we will become quiet, slow down, ask, experience, feel, connect, explore and renew and make the undiscussable discussable.
Talking is more of a side issue than a main issue during our private retreats, which is why we prefer to do the following:
- … slow down and become still, so that you can really feel what is going on
- … craniosacral treatments to calm the central nervous system
- … consciousness workshops in which you see each other like never before
- … use bodywork that releases emotions
- … inner child sessions to promote love and connection
- … breathing sessions that reconnect
- … system constellations in relationship dynamics
- … components in which you learn to speak each other’s love language
- … discover together what safe attachment really means
- … energetic work to make room for new energy
- … activities in which words are superfluous and nature says everything
- … tools for vulnerability and trust
- … and fire conversations with the bright Milky Way above you
In short, here at the foot of the Pyrenees, we create a safe space in which you can come closer to each other again. Away from the everyday, you discover (again) what is really important.
Is relationship therapy in France a one-off?
People are constantly on the move and for that reason their relationships are too. Connections do not come about by themselves and certainly do not remain self-evident. Good relationships simply require maintenance. Where is the ‘sand in the gears’ and ‘where is the oil’?
That is why we prefer to see our unique relationship weeks as a good ‘MOT’ to take a good look under the hood together in peace and quiet. What is running smoothly? What is rattling and what could be (even) better?
Sometimes once, sometimes regularly. Depending on the kilometers traveled. One couple experiences a lot in a short time and another couple takes it easy, which means that the need to ‘look under the hood’ is different for each relationship.
“Connections do not come about by themselves
and certainly do not remain self-evident”
Do you recognize yourself in the following statements?
“I often feel alone in our relationship.”
“We no longer speak each other’s language.”
“My partner does not understand me and I cannot convey to him/her what I mean or feel.”
“We often have misunderstandings: in communication, in making contact and in connection.”
“Who am I in relation to my partner?
“I miss the intimacy and the sparkle.”
