An Intensive for Couples at a Turning Point
Set at our sanctuary in the Sacred Valley of Peru, the Couples Intensive is a week long, intentionally held process that weaves couples coaching with guided ceremonial work with San Pedro, creating a supportive container to reignite meaningful connection.
It is designed for couples who sense their relationship is at a critical point — whether navigating recurring conflict, emotional distance, or a significant rupture of connection — and who feel a genuine willingness to face their relationship with vulnerability, openness, and courage while examining the patterns shaping how they relate to one another.
Ceremonies with San Pedro are woven into the process as catalysts for heart-centered connection, empathy, and repair, inviting insight into the personal and relational dynamics that influence emotional closeness, vulnerability, attunement, and intimacy.
Who This Intensive Is For
This intensive is for couples who sense their relationship needs devoted, intentional attention. Many arrive after realizing that the love, closeness, and intimacy they once shared have been overshadowed by distance, pain, betrayal, or uncertainty about the future.
Over time, interactions can fall into predictable cycles — arguments that repeat without resolution, or exchanges quietly erode the tenderness that once felt natural between you. Beneath the surface, something deeper is asking to be acknowledged and addressed.
Whether you are confronting painful realities, feeling distant, or unsure how to move forward, this process is for couples ready to understand what these patterns are protecting, and to find a new way of relating to one another.
This intensive is for couples who:
- Feel caught in recurring conflict or painful, entrenched patterns
- Are entangled in power dynamics or cycles of control
- Struggle to stay emotionally present with one another without escalating into misunderstanding or shutdown
- Feel chronically unheard, unseen, or alone within the relationship
- Have grown distant and long to find their way back to one another — emotionally, physically, and intimately
- Are working to repair trust after betrayal, infidelity, or broken agreements
- Are navigating a significant transition, rupture, or period of instability
- Are considering separation or unsure about the future of the relationship
Inside The Intensive
The intensive unfolds in a private, closely held structure — one built to give both partners the safety they need to be honest, to be vulnerable, and to do the real work of relational repair. It weaves together couples coaching, focused experiential sessions, and ceremonial work with San Pedro to help partners find their way back to one another and rebuild what’s between them.
Throughout the intensive, couples come to understand the deeper patterns shaping their relationship — including the reactive, protective responses that once made sense but now keep them apart. In real time, partners practice new ways of turning toward one another with honesty and care, rather than falling back into old defences.
The result is a cohesive experience — genuine change during your time here, and a foundation strong enough to carry back into daily life together.
The one week intensive includes:
- Guided couples coaching & therapeutic sessions led by an experienced professional team
- Emotionally focused communication workshops including skills for clear, undefended communication
- 3 guided San Pedro ceremonies to support heart-centred opening, emotional healing, empathy & reconnection
- Preparation and post-intensive integration support calls
- Immersion in nature to support grounding, regulation, reconnection
- Private accommodation at our sanctuary
- Gourmet chef preparing fresh, organic, nourishing meals
How San Pedro Supports the Work
Ceremony with San Pedro is included intentionally as a supportive element within the intensive. Known as a heart-centered medicine, it can gently soften defences and invite awareness of the patterns that shape how couples relate to themselves and one another.
This can surface unresolved wounds, protective strategies, and relational patterns that are difficult to reach through conversation alone. From this more open state, partners often find it easier to stay present with each other and to speak and listen with more honesty.
Ceremony works in harmony with the relational work by helping each person reconnect with their feelings, their body, and their heart — creating a kind of understanding and repair that goes beyond words alone.
San Pedro is used with care and clear intention, as a way of supporting healing, insight, and deeper connection within the relationship.
Meet Your Facilitators
The Couples Intensive is guided personally by Jenae and Rayan. Jenae brings 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist alongside years of ceremonial training with San Pedro; Rayan brings years of ceremonial apprenticeship and a holistic, relationally-focused approach to couples work. Together, they hold a space that is both professionally grounded and deeply attuned — supporting each partner individually while carefully tending to the dynamics between them.
Their work focuses on uncovering the protective patterns shaping the relationship, and helping couples build new capacity for honesty, accountability, and emotional presence. Through direct, emotionally honest dialogue and insight drawn from ceremony and the medicine, partners learn to stay present with each other in moments that would once have led to distance — rebuilding trust, closeness, and respect from the inside out.
