The magic of our circle work and embodied practices is their adaptability. These tools are honed to resonate with each couple's unique rhythm, offering tailored experiences that cater to your relationship's specific needs.
Lasting, Integrative Shifts
This retreat is not about fleeting sparks or momentary highs. It's an invitation to engage in deep, transformative work, creating lasting shifts that seamlessly integrate into the tapestry of your daily lives.
Reserve your place at our 'Intimacy Redefined' retreat.
Experience connection, like never before.
Step into the evolution of love.
At an upcoming Intimacy Redefined retreat, you'll get to heal the traumas that emerge in intimate connection, which, if left unattended, can create dissonance, disconnection and potentially relationship break down.
All trauma was created in relationship and relationship will be needed for your healing.
During this event we will meet and surrender to whatever arises in the moment as you connect with others, learning and becoming aware of all the ways you close your Heart and re-enact your childhood wounding in your intimacy today.
A big part of the retreat is to experience a 'homecoming' and to remember the nourishing and supportive feeling of being part of a tribe who can feel you in ways you may not even be able to feel yourself. You may not realise it yet, but having tribe in your life is not just a luxury, but an essential ingredient for successfully navigating your life and relationships.
Our approach is holistic: a blend of challenging and deeply rejuvenating experiences. It's about you and your partner diving into the essence of your being, fully inhabiting your bodies to unearth your truest expressions.
We don't skim the surface; we plunge into the depths, seeking the core truths of your relationship. We'll unveil what's been limiting your fullest expression and the ecstatic intimacy you crave. Ready yourselves for a transformative journey of self and relational discovery. Together, you'll let go of the outdated and embrace a sacred imprint of what it truly means to be a conscious, heart-centered, and vibrantly alive couple.

Slowing down and softening in a way that allows them to unfurl their own unique blueprint of their relationship and reclaim the power and innocence of their Sexuality.
Larissa grew up in a retreat centre, which gave her the opportunity to dive deep into many different healing modalities from a young age.

She weaves all of this together while attuning to the individuals and the group feild and listening in to deep body wisdom.

Christian Pankhurst
Christian Pankhurst is a world leading expert in group dynamics, conscious communication, and the art of circle facilitation. Christian is a master conductor of the collective wisdom that emerges when resonant hearts come together, and his piercing clarity lovingly cuts through bullshit while he holds a space of unconditional love for what wants to emerge in the now.
Christian teaches how to tap into the power of the collective wisdom or 'field' so facilitators learn how to heal themselves and others simultaneously through a process that is embodied and joyful rather than heady and focused on solving problems.
Christian's unique capacity to translate complex group dynamics into simple, clear and practical insights is the reason why so many seek him out to get trained in the art of small and large group facilitation.
Christian started facilitating groups in 2002 after graduating as a Chiropractor from the AECC in the U.K. His speciality is using a group’s wisdom and energy to open up gateways of transformation that are simply not available in an individual or one-on-one practice.
In 2008, Christian entered and won the Britain's Next Top Coach Competition, receiving 52% of the votes from over 90 countries around the world. He is the best-selling author of Insights To Intimacy - Why Relationships Fail and How To Make Them Work, and is the co-founder of New Eden, a centre for those wishing to grow, co-create and awaken together in community.

Imagine for a moment, visiting a place out of time, a place where time stands still. A lush oasis and sanctuary for your soul, where you get to be seen and felt in all your glory. A place where you get to show up exactly as you are. A place where you get to be the real you.
New Eden is that place. New Eden is a beautiful, nourishing, healing space where you get to truly drop into your authentic self, rest and receive. Filled up from the inside, you get to shine your light into the world and expand your range beyond what you previously thought possible.

Deepening in your capacity to open. Exploring the range of your pleasure and staying present as you journey forwards with consciousness.
New Eden is a place where people arrive as strangers and leave as lifelong friends. Experiential and purposefully curated with connection in mind, the Intimacy Redefined Retreat at New Eden will leave you re-connected to yourself, others and the world.
