The Making Love Retreat®

Conscious Loving for Couples

Genuine Feedback about your Making Love Retreat® Hosts, Janet and Gene

This work is revolutionary. There has been an enormous sense of relief around sex, removing expectations, discovering a different way of being. Realising that I had been playing a path of goal driven sex and sexuality, contrary to my true nature – which was never going to bring me the peace and love I so craved. Now … no craving, no manipulation, no agenda. (and no heating up!)”

— female, Corporate Manager

“I now have a sense of optimism in myself,my wife and our relationship. (something in short supply in recent times) and I am now relating rather than preparing to defend. It has been a delightful and profoundly moving experience. The life changer I/we have been looking for. A jewel. Thanks for it all”

— Cliff

“My heartfelt thanks for showing me the path back home! And for giving me permission to be loved and loving. At first I thought the afternoons would be daunting but very much looked forward to them after the first time!”

“I now feel a release and freedom to talk about sex. An honouring of ourselves and each other’s beauty. You created a great space, great accommodation, elegant process, great music, great food”
