TRANSFORMATIONAL COACH & MENTOR
TURN YOUR RELATIONSHIP INTO AN OASIS OF HEALING AND LOVE
True Intimacy is a 5 day retreat for couples and practice partners on how to walk relationship as a spiritual path to each others deepest healing, spiritual awakening and service to humanity.
This retreat is the answer to a very important prayer of humanity for the age of divorce and separation to end, and for the era of relationship as spiritual path, true love, true commitment and true dedication to be re-born again on earth.
With the rising popularity of Tantra in our times there are many teachings on how to go beyond the personality in relationship and love-making, yet unhealed trauma will still exist as contraction in the body- no matter how deep we go on that path. When we experience tendencies towards closure and triggers that go unprocessed, it won't allow us to touch a sense of true embodied safety, openness and depth with our partners.
In this retreat we will not only explore how to awaken to the spiritual dimension of our being through relationship and love-making but also how to use our innate masculine and feminine gifts to consciously heal each others nervous systems, and truly see and feel one another.
Practically, we will dive deep into inner child wounding and learn how our unmet childhood needs are unconsciously driving who we're attracted to, perpetuate our incoherent relationship patterns and how we can use embodied intimacy practice to transform those patterns of closure into openness, healing, and love. We will learn communication tools that will help create a foundation of safety and empathy upon which deeper states of intimacy and consciousness can arise.
Men and women will learn how to embody their deepest masculine and feminine gifts and how to use them powerfully as a way to amplify love, openness and healing in their partners. We will also perform traditional Tantric rituals every evening as a way to deeply honor and worship the masculine and feminine in all of us and the union of spirit beyond duality.
PILLARS OF OUR WORK
Embodied Practice
Tantra
We explore and experience what it means to truly embody our most powerful masc/fem qualities, our most vulnerable emotions and psychological shadows as a way to clear charges, create depth, openness, transparency and evoke the kind of love we've always wanted in our partners.
We use traditional Tantric rituals, meditations and practices as a way to awaken to the essence of who we are, control our sexual energy for the purpose of amplifying love and worship each other as expressions of the sacred masculine, feminine and beyond.
Relationship Therapy
We use practical, embodied and proven modalities of relationship therapy and psychotherapy that support the healing of trauma and childhood wounding, harmonize communication and that give couples the tools do inner healing work individually as well as together.
Shadow Work
We explore the hidden, disconnected and undesirable parts of our psyche and learn how to embody and integrate them in ourselves, in our relationships, and in our love making in a healthy and safe way.

5 DAYS OF INTIMACY, HEALING, DEPTH AND LOVE
MEET IAN & VALE
Ian and Valentina have each been fully dedicated to the spiritual path for over 15 years. They are devotees to each other and most importantly to the essence of love consciousness that lives in each of them. In this total dedication to the path of awakening through the love for each other, they are also in full service to support others on the same journey of relearning how to heal and awaken through the path of relationship.
Through many failures in relationship despite having been on the spiritual path for so many years, a deep aspiration grew in them to understand more deeply the root of all of this dysfunction they witnessed in their own journeys and also in their house holds growing up. Individually they explored this through intensive study, practice and deep inner work for many years. When they came together, it was in the spirit of that aspiration to truly embody the teachings from the mystics and Self remembrance, as well as the experts in the fields of trauma, relationship therapy and sacred intimacy work and finally learn to walk relationship as a spiritual path of full commitment and surrender.
Since coming together they created their flagship workshop and online course "True Intimacy" and "The Art of True Intimacy" and over the past years have taught and supported couples on this journey of healing and awakening all over the world.
Both of them have extensive experience in yoga and meditation having spent collectively over 5 years in silent solitary retreats. Valentina has advanced expertise in the path of Tantra having been initiated over 10 years ago by a master and now teaching the art of sexual Tantra, Tantric relationship and Tantric ritual for just as long. As a testament to the dedication and power of her path and practice, in her early 20's she was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) and was for a period of time unable to use her legs or see. Through great challenge she persevered in intensive spiritual practice for 5 years (and continuing) arriving to the point of becoming completely symptom free with no signs of the disease without any western medical treatment.
Ian compliments her very well with over 9 years of practice, study and coaching experience in somatic psychotherapy, embodied shadow work, trauma release, couples therapy, embodied intimacy work and men's work in addition to 12+ years in practicing and teaching yoga and meditation.
Together, Ian and Vale have integrated the worlds of somatic psychology, relationship therapy, trauma release, ancient Tantric Ritual, Tantra, men's, women's, couples and intimacy work into the vision of non duality to bring a complete understanding of the true significance of intimate relationship as a spiritual path of healing and transformation.
Today, Ian and Vale live in southern Portugal. They continue to travel internationally, offering workshops around the world, and regularly teach at the Hridaya Yoga centre in France, while also spending extended periods on silent retreat in India.
