Opening to Eros
If you and your partner are open-minded, adventurous, and prioritize your sexual, spiritual and erotic connection, Five-MeO Education and Tandava Retreats are excited to share a unique opportunity for a first-of-its-kind, five-day Couple’s Retreat--Opening to Eros. The retreat, which utilizes 5-MeO-DMT, is catered to couples with a solid foundation of communication who are eager to explore subconscious patterns and core beliefs that may impair the personal and relational expression of Eros or “lifeforce.” Participants will deepen their experience of vitality, vivacity, imagination, fantasy and co-creation through a relational lens, with group workshops and privately assigned exercises including embodiment practices, breathwork, meditative orgasm, Tantra and erotic massage. 5-MeO-DMT has proven to be a powerful tool for catharsis, and draws on emotional, somatic, and spiritual resources to shift the way our bodies and psyches hold and respond to relational constructs both past and present. This unique, spiritual container offers the necessary space and deep intentionality for couples to connect and expand in ways that prioritize dyadic and sexual transcendence. All sexuality and gender expressions are welcome.

Whats Included?
Somatic Resonance
In this 45-minute workshop, couples will explore six elements of attunement both cognitively and somatically. Utilizing verbal prompts as well as breathwork and light movement, couples will settle into deeper connection in preparation for their first medicine journey.
Meditation With Orgasmic Intention
In this one-hour workshop, couples will deepen their understanding of touch-based meditation through an orgasmic lens. Principles will be defined and described in a group setting, followed by non-genital based touch. “Homework” will be created for each couple, unique to their challenges and/or desires, to practice that evening in the privacy of their rooms.
The Weave
In this one-hour workshop, tantric practices will be front and center. Couples will explore various tantric techniques to further integrate their plant medicine journeys, leaning into nonduality and elements of embodiment. Utilizing the group energy, couples will have the opportunity to share verbally and somatically (non-genitally) with other participants, and once again be offered specific tantric massage homework to complete that evening in the privacy of their rooms.
Erotic Embodiment
In this 45-minute workshop, concepts of Eros will be realized through practices that emphasize embodiment, attunement, co-regulation and sexual transcendence. Couples will begin the journey of translating their experience within this spiritual container to the outside world by focusing on acceptance, appreciation and the co-creation of rituals for the insights they have received. Conscious admiration of themselves and each other will further deepen a daily expression of eroticism.
