The Art of Touch

A Private Tantra-Inspired Couples Retreat

Learn Conscious Touch & Embodied Connection in Pristine Nature

In the quiet wild of the Cederberg, intimacy slows to the pace of the breath.

 

Here, you and your beloved are invited into a private, guided journey of touch, presence, and rediscovery.


 

Whether you come as a couple or as a solo participant, this retreat is designed to awaken the body’s wisdom, open new pathways of connection, and offer tools you can bring home into daily life.

 

What You’ll Experience

This is a homestay-style retreat: cosy, warm, and personal. We prepare and share nutritious meals together, enjoy cosy fireside chats in the evenings, and let the days unfold with a balance of guided practices and quiet time connecting in naked nature. The structure is fluid and collaborative, tailored to your needs, allowing space for both learning and rest.

Who It’s For

 

  • Couples seeking to shift habitual pattens, deepen intimacy, reignite passion, or learn new ways to meet, touch and pleasure one another.
  • Singles wanting to reconnect with their body, learn touch practices, and explore intimacy in a safe, guided container.
  • Anyone curious about conscious touch, tantra-inspired practices, and embodied presence.

 

Together, we’ll explore:

3 day retreats include:
  • The Art of Giving & Receiving: Understanding Consent – expressing boundaries & desires
  • Conscious Touchwork: presence as the first language of intimacy.
  • Tandava & Kashmiri Massage: subtle practices of energy, movement, and sensitivity.
  • Tantra-inspired Practices: eye gazing, YabYum, and activities that re-sensitize body and heart.
  • Connection Games: playful invitations to rediscover authenticity, curiosity, intimacy and play.
  • Nature Immersions: naked swimming, earth grounding, and the wild beauty of the majestic Cederberg.
  • Optional: for the experienced, a low-dose mushroom journey for deeper connection.
5 day retreats include
  • All of 3 day retreat content PLUS:
  • Lingam (him) & Yoni (her) Massage techniques

Your Facilitator

I’m Donna and I’m here as facilitator, guide, and companion.

Over nearly two decades, I’ve explored connection through shamanism, creative spaces, Tantra, conscious sexuality, and the many ways intimacy unfolds between people.

I create a space that’s both safe and expansive, giving you room to learn, play, and step into your own rhythm.
