This experience is a two-for-one. It is both a mini lesbian vacation plus a lesbian couple boot camp. It would cost a minimum of $2200 to cover the amount of material we cover in the course of the weekend. An hour of couples counseling is worth roughly $156. To cover the material you will learn in the course of this retreat it would cost a minimum of $2184 and it would take over three months if you weekly sessions. This retreat is not only a powerful springboard for lasting change, it is also a cost-effective way to put your lesbian relationship goals on the fast track.

We are willing to explore payment plan options on an individual basis. The closer you are to the retreat weekend, the less flexibility we have to offer you a payment plan. If, however, the retreat you wish to attend is 6 months away, we do have the flexibility to work with you on the timing of your deposit and subsequent payments, as long as you are paid-in-full by the start of the retreat weekend.

Us the “Got Questions” form at the bottom of this page to inquire with us about payment plan options.

We value your sense of safety and security above all else. There is no topic that is off limits as long as it is about you and not the other couples. You are 100% in charge of what you share and how open you choose to be.

Relationship coaching is a partnership between the coach and the couple, that points your relationship in the direction you desire. Coaching is designed to support your relationship journey with new skills, insights, and the creation of a roadmap that will lead you toward a satisfying relationship.

Many couples have attended the couples retreat in the first few months of their relationship with the goal of “getting it right.”

Above all else, we value the importance of each person feeling safe. If you, or your partner, do not feel comfortable talking, you will be encouraged to stretch yourself into taking more risks, while respecting your limits and your wish for privacy. Ultimately, you will always remain in charge of what, when and how much you share. It is our job to create a safe setting and the inspiration to take risks in order to get a better outcome.

No. The lesbian couples’ retreats are relationship coaching experiences Insurance reimbursement requires the use of a counseling license in the state services are provided in, as well as a diagnosis explaining the mental health disorder being “treated.” This is medical model flies in the face of our philosophy. We do not see people as broken and needing “treated.” We view people as having rich and textured histories that cause a variety of responses that make sense when you take the time to understand the whole story. We find healing through understanding, love, connection and authentic support.  So we say, “no thank you,” to the medical model in our work with couples.

The desire for your relationship to work is all that you need in order to benefit from this retreat.

Whatever the outcome, you will leave the retreat with a better understanding of what it will take to move forward, or what occurred to derail you. (Note, if you register for the retreat and break-up before the retreat starts, you are still expected to attend).

Yes. For the intensive retreats you receive a $50 discount on your registration fee. If you plan to register and qualify for this discount, please send us a copy of your ID and we will adjust your final payment to reflect the $50 discount.

The door is wide open to you and your relationship and you are invited to join a growing community of lesbian couples at whatever level you wish.

You can join a retreat-specific couples cohort – a support tribe with monthly online check-in and support sessions with Michele; and you can continue communicating with your tribe-mates, as well as other couples from other Retreat Tribes in a private Lesbian Adventures in Love community of lesbian couples.

We will also be  creating more supports and services as we grow. some of these include:

•  self-help online groups for couples;
•  more affordable and accessible retreats that are larger-sized  (think 100 lesbian couples in a large hotel with break-out groups for specific issues);
• a volunteer Ambassador Couples program for couples who are passionate about helping other couples and wish to be involved in future retreats as a helper couple
• and more…

You will leave the retreat with a dramatically deeper understanding of one another and of your relationship. You will gain effective, actionable steps to take to move you toward your relationship goals.

You will leave the retreat with what you need to begin practicing your way into a better-feeling relationship.
