A quiet winter retreat that brings couples back to what feels good and real. Through simple, sensory moments and time in nature, you’ll rediscover joy that is warm, grounding, and shared. The pace is unhurried, the atmosphere cozy, and the focus on presence rather than doing. A gentle, beautiful way to start the year with ease, connection, and the kind of joy that lasts.
