The Making Love Retreat in “Monte Velho” starts at 18:00 on the day of arrival.

The retreat ends on the last day with lunch at 13:00.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided, and at most locations there will also be a small snack in the afternoon. All vegetarian, diet only on request.

A typical day starts with some physical exercises together such as Chi Gong and body awareness training. This is followed by a sequence which is the core of our work, where we share and teach material and theory. During this sequence, there will also be space to ask questions and share. Each afternoon you will have time as a couple to make love and explore more in a private atmosphere. In the evening we come together again (except on two evenings) and show you some exercises. For example: body de-blocking & nervous system regulation.

Everyday its possible to talk with us 1:1.

All exercises, meditations and the knowledge we share with you are designed for reawakening and promoting presence & awareness in your own body.

We show the difference between ‘conventional’ sex – with tension, seduction, intense stimulation and climax – and ‘conscious’ sex in an environment of warm, loving, fulfilling relaxation that has no goal orientation.

Through this retreat, participants can experience a deep journey of healing.

In Portugal (as in Spain) we teach exclusively in English, without translation.

A safe and contained space where privacy and boundaries are respected at all times is guaranteed at all times.

There will be no sexual activity or nudity in the group.

And of course, all more intimate couple exercises will take place in the privacy of your own room!

If couples voluntarily talk about their experiences, everyone is bound by a confidentiality agreement to keep the information confidential.

Airplane:
If you are traveling by plane, we recommend the airport “Faro, Portugal”. From there, the onward journey to “Monte Velho” in a rented car is ideal.

As an alternative to a rental car, there is the option of transportation with a local transport or cab company. If you are interested in this option, please contact Monte Velho in advance.

We hope you understand that we do not share the detailed content of the workshop in advance. It is the work of the art of love as described in Diana & Michael Richardson’s books, but edited so that participants can embody the material taught.
The guided embodiment is ultimately what makes our retreat so valuable and leads from theory to practice. This retreat exists now since over 30 years in this form and has benefited thousands of participants.

The seminar fee for the Making Love Retreat in “Monte Velho” is 1080CHF (appr.1145€)s per person for 7 days.

In addition, there are costs for accommodation and meals, which can be found on the registration form.

The nourishing retreat days provide many good insights, experiences and tools to preserve and grow the precious gift of love in everyday life.

Finding new, conscious ways in sex and exploring them together has a positive effect on all levels of life.

In this retreat, we don’t teach techniques but an attitude and a new approach to body awareness. Therefore, we have no secret recipes for quick happiness, healing emotional wounds or trauma.

Relaxed sexuality brings very deep healing and relaxation. However, it will not solve all relationship problems on its own.

Diana & Michael Richardson

Also known as Puja and Raja Richardson, their interest in sex, healing and meditation initiated a journey into the world of Tantra – the union of sex and meditation that has changed the course of her life. She has written several books on the subject of conscious sex. Puja and her partner Raja have now been successfully leading the Making Love Retreats for years, where they pass on this knowledge. This work, teached by Max & Jasmin Muzio (authorized teacher), is what you will experience when you book a retreat over this site.

The embodiment of the material taught is only possible as a couple.

It is therefore not possible to attend the Making Love Retreat alone.

However, we do offer individual and couples counselling and support, based on our training in SE (Somatic Experiencing / trauma therapy) and our work and experience as adult educators in the field of sexuality.

Please click here to contact us over the form if you are interested.

The number of participants in the “Ecoresort Monte Velho” is limited to a maximum of 18 couples.

The focus is on you as a couple and on you as an individual – the group is merely a space for resonance, an invitation to exchange ideas and an enrichment of diversity.

In the retreat we work with the body’s own male and female polarities. This is a subject area that can only be experienced in direct embodiment.
Our offer is therefore aimed exclusively at heterosexual couples, as neither Diana and Michael Richardson nor we ourselves have any experience in other fields and a teaching outside of this area would not be authentic.
We are always very happy when people with expanded sexual orientations and constellations contact us and share their experiences with us.
