Through their groundbreaking work, they have guided countless couples toward deeper love, trust, and intimacy.

Diana Richardson, born in South Africa, originally pursued a career in law, graduating from the University of Natal in Durban. However, in 1979, she shifted her focus to the exploration of sexuality and meditation. Through her training in holistic massage and structural bodywork, Diana developed a profound understanding of the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Influenced by the far reaching spiritual teachings of Osho and the revolutionary insights of Barry Long, Diana integrated their wisdom with her personal experiences to create a truly transformative approach to intimacy.
Diana, with her partner, Michael Richardson, born in Germany, with an in-depth background in Tai Chi, Dance, meditation and movement awareness – together they have created the globally renowned Making Love Retreat.
It provides couples with a space to deepen their relationships and discover a more conscious and fulfilling approach to intimacy.
The Making Love Retreat retreat is running successfully for over 30 years.
