Deepening Love:
Discovering Sexuality
for Couples
April 1st–4th, 2027
Nature Community · Schönsee, Germany
What becomes possible when two different people meet in a sexual space without past or future?
The Invitation
Ana and Gabriela invite you to embark on a shared journey, a space dedicated to expanding consciousness and presence through a tender, playful and powerful exploration of love and sexuality within couples.
Many of us learn to navigate sexuality through silence, assumptions, magazines, the internet, porn, Hollywood blockbusters, cultural expectations and unspoken rules. We may learn to suppress pleasure and our desires, avoid difficult conversations, or expect that if our partner truly loves us, sex, desire and intimacy should simply happen naturally.
What becomes possible when you stop trying to make sexuality fit an idea of how it should be?
We open this space to upgrade our thoughtware about sexuality and Love in partnership with embodied practices and hands-on experiments.
Why this space?
Sexuality can be one of the places where we experience the deepest connection with another person, and also one of the places where our fears, expectations, wounds, shame, desires and patterns become most visible.
We want to create a space where couples can meet these places with curiosity rather than judgement.
A space to slow down.
To become more present.
To listen more deeply.
To open up to pleasure.
To discover what is actually alive between two people, beyond what we think should be happening.
And to explore what becomes possible when sexuality is approached not as a performance or a problem to solve, but as a field of conscious creation.

What we will explore
Seven doorways into Love
- 01
Collaboration
Cultivating sexual spaces as opportunities for collaboration, discovery, healing, fun and intimacy.
- 02
Difference & Magnetism
Exploring differences in sexual energy, desire, embodiment and relating, and discovering how differences can become sources of curiosity, magnetism and collaboration rather than separation and conflict.
- 03
Bodies & Taboos
Composting taboos around the physical body, pleasure, vulnerability and surrender.
- 04
Presence & Communication
Practising hands-on tools for presence, communication, negotiation and embodied pleasure.
- 05
Meeting in Sexual Space
Exploring what happens when two people truly meet in a sexual space.
- 06
Beyond Secrecy
Moving beyond secrecy and isolation around sexuality and creating a field of inspiration, exchange and exploration with other courageous couples.
- 07
Deeper Contact
Discovering what supports deeper contact, love and conscious creation, and what might be standing in the way.
Who might this space be for?
This space is for couples who want to explore their sexuality and intimacy together in a different way.
You might be longing to:
- discover new dimensions of your sexual connection;
- bring more presence, playfulness and curiosity into your relationship space;
- explore conversations and experiences that you don't usually have space for in everyday life;
- deepen your connection with yourself, your partner and your shared sexual space.
You don't need to have a problem to solve, a particular experience to achieve, or everything figured out. Curiosity, openness and a willingness to explore together are enough.
What this space is not
This space is not a tantra retreat, or a space where couples are expected to perform, expose themselves, share intimate details they don't wish to share, or engage sexually with other participants.
The work happens primarily within your own couple.
You are invited to discover your own edges while respecting your own and your partner's boundaries.
Whether you feel blocked or open, tender or uncertain, this space welcomes all that you are in the love and sexual facet of your life.
You are not alone in your questions, your longings, or your challenges. In fact, it is often through meeting others in vulnerability that healing and transformation become possible.
This is a space for us to discover what is possible in the sexual space between lovers and what stands in the way of deeper contact, love and conscious creation.
With love and fun,
Ana and Gabriela

Words from participants in previous spaces
“We initially attended the conscious sexuality workshop out of curiosity and a desire to learn how we could better connect with each other's bodies and deepen our intimacy as a couple.
…What surprised us was how much more the workshop offered. It wasn't simply about sexuality or physical connection, it opened the door to a much deeper journey of self-awareness and healing.
We explored what can get in the way of being truly conscious and present in our sexuality, and discovered that genuine connection with another person begins with becoming more conscious and connected with ourselves.
The experience was incredibly deep, honest and worthwhile. It gave us space to explore the valley of pleasure, the current and more of ourselves individually, while also creating a stronger understanding and connection between us as a couple.
We came away with much more than we expected, ultimately feeling more connected, open and present with each other. It was a truly meaningful experience that we would highly recommend to couples who are curious to explore physical and emotional intimacy on a deeper level.”
— Shannon & Toni, New Zealand
“One of the juiciest, joyest transformational spaces and challenging days this year were our days together in the Discovering Sexuality for couples.
…Reflecting on our own incompetencies as well as getting more "input" language for an area that was for so so long without words, full of assumptions and unspoken wishes... Thank you deeply each one of you for every sharing, and thank you Ana for holding space where all of what we created together was possible. I am deeply grateful for the richness that is possible for me / us and the new existence of "Love room" in our word. MORE of THAT in 2027, enjoy each other and life, with love Ellen and Bruce.”
— Ellen and Bruce, New Zealand
“The echoes of the Discovering Sexuality are bringing another level of richness and vibrancy to my days.
…Sanne and I have been having MANY kissing breaks during the day. The current is strong. After every love room session is Village Beet gameworld building for the rest of the day. I am looking forward to channeling my activated sexual energy into creating the Village Beet gameworld. Sending love to you all, Robert”
— Robert, New Zealand
“The Discovering Sexuality weekend still works very deep in me, and far beyond what I think lovemaking is. I recognize that basically everything is lovemaking because what we have been practicing since this space, unfolds in every part of my Life. Yesterday I made Love with Gabriela, "just" by talking. We both were so nourished afterwards! Butterflies everywhere! At midnight I was still awake as if it would be 8am in the morning after a long refreshing sleep. Several interesting things happened to name a few: I did not make myself wrong when I noticed my impulses were not working. I responsably decoded "less of that" without Gabriela explicitly saying that this time. Harrbigarr!
…What then happened was that I could vulnerably share my inner world with Gabriela and create a discovery space for myself! (in the past I would invite Gabrielas Gremlin to reject that, e.g. with a lamenting voice and being miserable).
In the past Gabriela was making an important (life changing) decision without integrating me. She came to me and said "i made a decision. Here is my proposal. What do you say?" boom (landed sometimes like a bomb). We found out that this is similar to fish making love, where the fish woman brings the eggs outwards and the male fish fertilizes the exposed eggs after they are out already. Yesterday she shared vulnerably her unfinished choice making process with me. In that I could "penetrate" her in the unfinished process by bringing my own thoughts and impulses to it. For me this is a relief to get involved in that way with her.”
— Leonhard, Germany
“I could open my heart to Leonhard, letting him enter my world, with my unfinished decisions about where to live next, my fears, my anger, my optimism, my panic.
…For the first three years of our relationship, the ancient imprints of being a woman raised under patriarchy would come flooding through our interactions. There was often little space to truly see him in each precious moment. I was terrified of being dominated, manipulated, controlled, consumed, of losing myself. I built an invisible glass wall between us- sometimes not that invisible… "You can see me, you can even get close," my gremlin would whisper, "but you cannot touch me."
Now, there is space in me to welcome Leonhard into my world as it is, to let him participate in my inner landscape. Oh, how I had longed for this! It was raw, frightening, and deeply joyful to be vulnerable with him at this level.”
— Gabriela, Germany

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Before we go in, tell me
are you willing to enter the house with me
not knowing who I am at all?
Will you meet me for the first time,
without the furniture of your ideas,
without the paintings already hung on the walls?
There is a part of me
that wants to be seen by you
as if newly arrived.
It is delicate.
It wants to play.
I want to know
whether you are a slave of your thoughts,
whether they will grow loud,
fighting for the meaning of what you see.
Please be honest.
I am listening.
