Same-sex relationships have many of the same intimacy challenges as other couples. Diana Daffner, author of Tantric Sex for Busy Couples, is presenting her teachings in a program specifically designed for lesbian couples. Andrea Askowitz, author of My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy, attended the Intimacy Retreat and said, “It's sexy, loving, intimate, freaky, silly... all of that and so much fun. But most of all, it's so important!”

Daffner has an MA in counseling and is internationally known as a leader of Intimacy Retreats. Utilizing both ancient and modern understandings of sexuality, intimacy, and relationships, she skillfully guides partners to connect with each other on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. The Tantra Tai Chi program she created with her husband provides a reliable pattern for couples to enter into the immediate presence of love. Couples return to their home or hotel room for private home play practices that personalize and reinforce the experience in transformational ways. (There is no sexual activity in the workshop space.)

The retreat is in Coral Gables from Friday, April 29 to Sunday, May 1.Fee for the weekend workshop is $595/couple. The Friday evening class from 7-9:45pm is $49/person (no partner required).
