The Remembrance Retreat: A Bespoke Indulgence For Couples
With Zoë Kors


November 6-9, 2025
Civana Carefree Resort & Spa
There was a time when your relationship felt simple and inspired. Partnership was a priority. Purpose was powerful. Passion was plentiful. It was meant to be…you could feel it in your bones.
Life has a way of inserting itself between you. Career, family, health, finances, and all kinds of other stresses distract us from each other. It becomes harder and harder to steal the time we need to nourish our primary relationship with each other.
This is your invitation to step out of the grind and remember the essence of who you are…as a couple…as lovers…as a team.
Spend five days and four nights in paradise with intimacy expert and award-winning author, Zoë Kors (Radical Intimacy) in a series of heart-centered, soul-stirring workshops and discussions created to cultivate connection and recapture the essence of who you are to each other.
Set in a world-class wellness spa, your emotional wellbeing will be supported by your physical health with a personalize vitamin infusion and spa treatment for each of you according to your needs and focus.
Organic farm-to-table meals will be custom prepared and served three times a day.
You know how sometimes you need a vacation after a vacation? This is the opposite. With just the right balance of activity and relaxation in your luxuriously appointed villa, you will leave feeling relaxed and replenished.
Give yourselves (and each other) the gift of REMEMBRANCE, of who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming.
This retreat is for you if you are:
- An older couple wanting to rebuild
- A younger couple laying a solid foundation
- A middle aged couple needing a renovation
- Needing a meaningful break from the chaos of life
- Longing for a deeper connection
- Needing to prioritize your health and wellbeing
- Craving a meaningful vacation
- Wanting practical skills for intimacy
- Feeling lonely in your partnership
- Hungry for shared joy and inspiration
