By Personal Request
One couple. Five days.
The yurt in Aljezur.
Some couples want this work built entirely around them. The Private Intensive is an exclusive container for two - held by Ilona and Johannes in a Mongolian yurt in a valley near Aljezur, southwest Portugal. Five days, one couple, nothing shared with a group.
This is a different offering from the group retreat, not a smaller version of it. A personal syllabus shaped around you before you arrive. Extended working hours across the five days, because nothing here has to fit a group timetable. Private reflection time built into each day. A planning call before you arrive and an integration call after you leave.
The work draws on the same ground as the retreat - the Gaia Method, tantric massage, the Wheel of Consent. What changes is the container - everything is shaped around the two of you.
What's included
Pre-intensive planning call - 45 minutes with Ilona and Johannes before you arrive, shaping your personal syllabus
Your personal syllabus - Five days structured around what you actually bring
40+ hours of guided practice - More than the group retreat, because nothing here fits a group's schedule
Daily private reflection time - With both guides
Post-intensive integration call - 45 minutes, within two weeks of leaving
Who this is for
This works well when
- You are in a relationship that is functioning and want to go further
- You want complete privacy, without a group present
- Touch has become less present or less varied than you would like
- You are curious about your own body's patterns, not just your partner's
- You can commit to five full days without distraction
This is not the right fit when
- You are in crisis and looking for couples therapy or relationship rescue
- One partner wants to come and the other doesn't
- You are in acute conflict that hasn't found any ground yet
- You are expecting a spa retreat with optional bodywork
If you are not sure where you fall - that is exactly what the call is for.
From couples
What others noticed.
"My wife and I both had some breakthroughs in our relationship that I don't know if we could have reached without the really thorough, somewhat mystical, and also very practical techniques Ilona and Johannes used. [...] I would highly recommend them for couples looking to connect physically, emotionally, and spiritually."
John Dundon
"Within 3 days, Ilona and Johannes identified a dynamic that was posing a barrier to intimacy that my partner and I had been unable to figure out despite nearly a year of traditional sex therapy. We have finally discerned a viable path forward."
