San Diego, CA · 2-Day Minimum Intensive
A private, immersive couples retreat designed for partners who love each other deeply — and are ready to do the real work to find their way back to each other.
Days minimum — longer formats available for couples who need more time
Private — just you, your partner, and Maring
Personalized to your couple's unique needs
More progress in a weekend than months of weekly sessions
Feel stuck in the same cycles of conflict, shutdown, or disconnection — and are ready to finally break through.
Are navigating a neurodiverse dynamic — where one or both partners are autistic, have ADHD, or process the world differently.
Have tried weekly therapy but need deeper, more focused time to move the needle.
Are at a crossroads — and want to make a real, informed choice about their relationship with support.
Want to invest in their relationship the same way they'd invest in anything else that truly matters.
Who It's For
A retreat intensive isn't for every couple — it's for couples who are ready. Ready to be honest, ready to be uncomfortable, and ready to come out the other side closer than before.
I specialize in neurodivergent couples and bring EFT, somatic, IFS, and attachment-based approaches to every retreat. Together we'll slow down, go deeper, and create shifts that actually last.
A retreat requires both partners to be willing participants. If there is active domestic violence, substance dependence, or an ongoing affair that hasn't been disclosed, a retreat is not the right first step. Please reach out and we'll find what is.
How It Works
Every retreat is custom-designed and starts at a 2-day minimum — with longer formats available for couples who want more time. Here's how the first two days typically unfold.
Day One
Arrival & GroundingSetting intentions, nervous system regulation, and creating safety for the work ahead.
Mapping Your CycleUsing EFT to identify the underlying pattern driving disconnection — what triggers it, and what each of you is really needing.
Somatic Check-InsBody-based pauses woven throughout to help you stay regulated and present.
Evening IntegrationClosing reflection and a gentle prompt to carry into the evening together.
Day Two
Morning Check-InWhat shifted overnight? Noticing what's alive and what's ready to be addressed.
Deep Work SessionRupture & repair, attachment needs, or the specific issue at the heart of your dynamic — chosen together.
Building Your RoadmapCreating a concrete, personalized plan for continuing the work after the retreat ends.
Closing CeremonyA meaningful closing ritual to honor the work you've done and the couple you're becoming.
The Approach
The retreat weaves together several evidence-based approaches, chosen based on what your couple needs most.
Emotionally Focused Therapy to identify and shift the negative cycle driving disconnection.
Body-centered tools that help partners stay regulated and process emotion beyond words.
Parts work to understand protective behaviors and access the softer emotions underneath.
Understanding how early patterns show up in your relationship and how to create earned security.
Adapted pacing, communication, and sensory considerations for neurodivergent couples.
Practical tools — communication frameworks, repair rituals, and regulation strategies — you take home.
Investment
A couples retreat is a significant investment of time, energy, and resources. It is also one of the most concentrated and meaningful things you can do for your relationship.
Retreats start at a 2-day minimum — because real change takes time. For couples navigating more complex dynamics, longer formats of 3 or more days are available. We'll talk about what makes the most sense for you on your inquiry call.
