"The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It"
A week of presence, connection &
Communication
Day 1 - Welcome
Upon your arrival at the enchanting Hestia Magic Retreat Centre, nestled at the foot of the majestic Mt. Shasta, you will find yourself enveloped in tranquility. After settling into your intimate sanctuary, we will convene in the main Yurt for a Welcome Ceremony. This gathering marks the beginning of our transformative journey together, where the magic truly unfolds.
Day 2 - Where are we?
Before we can more forward with any action, it is great to know where we truly are. In the love we have for our self, our partner and the relationship dynamics that are present in our world today.
Day 3 - How Did we get here?
The relationships we cultivate with ourselves and our partners are profoundly shaped by the relational dynamics we observe in our surroundings. These influences stem from various sources, including media portrayals, interactions with peers, and, most significantly, the relationships we witnessed during our formative years—ranging from those of our parents and grandparents to other early relational examples. By acknowledging these patterns, we gain insight into how they have impacted us, allowing us to discern what we have embraced or resisted in our own relational experiences.
Day 4 - Bathing in love
All good work deserve a reward and after a couple of days of diving into the consciousness of our relating, we go for a hike into the Mt Shasta foot hills to Heart Lake, where we get to bathe with our partner in the love that is present and honour all that has been journeyed together so far.
Day 5 - Opening to New Possibilities
Every moment is a choice to do something the same or to do something different. Today we journey into the capacity to move through discomfort for the sake of growth.
Day 6 - Heating things up
One of the magical elements of the Mt Shasta area is the hot springs! On this day we are exploring into the "hotter" elements of relationship. Discussing intimacy or "Into me see".Using the basic Tantra concepts of Presence, self awareness and moving beyond the physical of relating.
Day 7 - Fly like birds
Our intention is that you not only have a magical week away with your beloved, you also walk away with your wings wide open knowing that you and your partner are birds that choose to fly together through this incredible life we are blessed with.
Integration
As our transformative journey at the retreat comes to a close, the next essential step is to integrate the insights and experiences gained during our time together into your everyday life. This process is crucial for ensuring that the growth and connection you’ve fostered here continues to flourish in your relationship.

About Jason:
Something
As the father of 2 adult daughters, I have been through the trials of being a father to babies and the struggles it can introduce into a relationship.
Having spent the last 10 years and more supporting men 1-on-1 and in workshops/retreats, along with studying relationship dynamics and communication, I have learned a lot about how birthing partners can hold the masculine while being in relationship.
My role at this workshop is to give a man's perspective on the birth experience and share with the partners how they can best support themselves and the birthing mother during these dynamic times in pregnancy and beyond.
