Hi, we’re Thalia & Spanda

friends and allies on the path of love and liberation. We’re honored to invite you into The Beloved, a 5-day immersion into the heart of tantric intimacy, conscious lovemaking and spiritual awakening.

This retreat is for those who know that love is more than romance, that sex can be a path to unity. Together we’ll explore tantric practices, where polarity becomes play, vulnerability becomes power, and your connection becomes a living temple.

Whether you’re longtime partners, new lovers, or walking the path of conscious love, this space is for you.

Come remember what it means to worship the Beloved in each other, where devotion meets desire, and your love becomes the practice.

The 3 pillars of The Beloved Retreat

To truly thrive in love, we must meet on every level—body, heart, and soul.

This retreat is a journey through the essential gateways of intimate union. Each one is a key that unlocks deeper connection, fuller expression, and the remembrance of love as a sacred path.

✺Tantic Intimacy

Learn to refine and elevate your sexual energy as a sacred force. This pillar guides you into a deeper relationship with your own sexuality—where desire is honored, energy is sublimated, and sex becomes connected to the heart. You’ll explore how to harness your life force, bring awareness to your erotic patterns, and transmute raw desire into intimacy, presence, and love.

✺Conscious Lovemaking

Conscious lovemaking is an art—one that invites presence, communication, and attunement. You’ll learn how to navigate polarity, activate your erotic intelligence, and meet your partner in the dance of giving and receiving. Through guided practices and embodied teachings, you’ll refine your ability to make love not just with the body, but with your soul—opening to deeper connection, trust, and ecstasy.

✺Spiritual Awakening

Beyond the physical lies the sacred. This pillar guides you into the mystical dimensions of union—where love becomes a path of awakening and your relationship becomes a mirror for the revelation of your divine essence. Through meditation, energy work, and devotional practices, you’ll attune to the subtle realms and remember your essence as love itself. Here, intimacy becomes a journey to illumination.

For the couple who knows there’s more…

Maybe the spark has dimmed.
Maybe sex feels more like routine than ritual.
Maybe communication has grown strained, or you’re caught in cycles of reactivity, triggers, or emotional shutdowns.
You love each other—but something feels blocked. Unspoken needs. Touch that doesn’t quite land. A longing for more depth, more presence, more truth.

If you’re here, you already sense it:
Your relationship is meant to be a path of awakening.

The Beloved is an invitation to remember why you came together—not just for comfort or companionship, but to become mirrors, portals, and allies in each other’s evolution.

This retreat is not about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about revealing what’s possible.

When intimacy is met with presence and love is expressed with intention, your relationship transforms. Lovemaking becomes meaningful, connection deepens, and your bond becomes a source of growth, healing, and transformation.

Together, you’ll shed old stories, ignite new energy, and rise into the highest expression of your relationship:
rooted in truth, fueled by love, and devoted to your sacred union.

This retreat is for couples who are ready to deepen their connection—whether you've been together for years or are just beginning your journey.

You may be:

Long-term partners seeking to rekindle intimacy and reawaken sacredness in your relationship
New lovers feeling the spark and wanting to build a strong, conscious foundation from the start
Curious about Tantra and exploring sacred sexuality —whether first timers or experienced, this retreat will meet you where you are
Already experienced in this realm, looking to refine, expand, and evolve your shared practice

Whether you’re navigating disconnection or simply longing for more depth, this retreat meets you where you are and invites you into what’s possible—through presence, devotion, and the path of awakened love.

What Makes This Retreat Unique?

The Beloved is a temple immersion—rooted in authentic Tantra, guided by embodied teachers, and curated to take you deeper than just theory or technique.

Tantra is not just a philosophy—it’s a living, breathing path of experiential wisdom.

This immersion blends deep transmission with direct practice. Through this journey, you will feel the teachings come alive in your body, your connection, and your lovemaking.

With decades of combined experience in sacred sexuality, somatic healing, and the tantric arts, we (Thalia & Spanda) walk this path in our own lives and relationships. We bring not just knowledge—but embodiment. Not just structure—but devotion.

You’ll be held in a space that’s both sacred and grounded, where real transformation can occur.

This is for couples who are ready to remember love as a spiritual path—and live it with clarity, depth, and devotion.
