Natural Awakenings Puerto Rico is hosting its first Intimacy Retreat for Couples workshop October 11 to 13 on the Caribbean island of Vieques. It will be led by Diana and Richard Daffner, who wrote Tantric Sex for Busy Couples and created Tantra Tai Chi. They have led intimacy retreats for more than 20 years.

According to the Daffners, these retreats are designed to give couples an opportunity to deepen their emotional closeness, enhance their physical intimacy and awaken their spiritual connection. USA Today has called them “an Rx for sex and intimacy,” and ABC Nightline News reported on the Daffners’ secrets for “curing bedroom boredom.” 

In their workshops, the Daffners draw on both ancient and modern understandings of intimacy. There is no nudity or public sexual activity during the workshop. Instead, couples have “homeplay” assignments through which they reinforce and personalize their training in the privacy of their rooms. 


The workshop fee includes lodging at the Finca Victoria hotel, meals with aphrodisiac ingredients, and optional morning yoga in a Zen setting with panoramic views. Space is limited.
