🌺 Couples Passion Weekend - September 2026 - Registrations Open Now - Limited Spaces🌺
WHY A RETREAT WORKS
Most couples were never taught how desire actually works.
No one hands you a roadmap for navigating mismatched libidos, hormonal shifts, mental load, or the slow drift from lovers to co-managers of a shared life. It just... happens.
These retreats close that gap. Led by Sexologist Rachel Strevens, they blend grounded sexual education with guided couple exercises and real, private time to put it into practice.
Understand why desire shifts in long-term relationships — and how to rebuild it
A grown-up education in how pleasure actually works, for both of you
Learn to ask for what you want without it feeling awkward
Leave with tools you'll still be using six months later
"Rachel creates a space that feels safe, yet inspiring — challenging you to break free from limiting beliefs. Her approach is both fun and deeply insightful.

YOUR HOST
Rachel Strevens
I'm the Founder of The Passion Project, and I work with women, men and couples across New Zealand to reclaim intimacy, awaken desire, and live passionately — with confidence, safety, and unapologetic warmth.
I believe great intimacy is something you can keep growing into, at any age, and at any stage of a relationship. And that with honest conversation and the right knowledge, far more is possible for most couples than they realise.
I'll bring warmth, intelligence, and just enough cheek to make the conversations that matter feel completely natural.

In their words
"A remarkably safe, comfortable space to explore topics that are absolutely necessary for personal growth and intimacy. It left me reflecting deeply on things we don't talk about enough. Highly recommend!"
