About This Program

Three nights designed for two. Each partner receives their own Prakriti assessment and naturopathic intake, their own individual therapy sessions, and their own personalised wellness roadmap. The most memorable experiences are shared: couples Abhyanga, sound healing dome, Yoga Nidra at sunrise, and the six-rasa private dinner.

Why Ayurveda + Naturopathy

Partners frequently have opposing constitutions — one Vata, one Kapha. Naturopathy provides the vocabulary to explain this scientifically; Ayurveda provides the experiential map. Both frameworks give couples a shared language for their differences that is non-judgmental and actionable.

Who should attend

  • Couples celebrating anniversaries or honeymoons
  • Partners needing to reconnect
  • One wellness enthusiast and one sceptical partner
  • Couples beginning a shared healthy lifestyle
  • Those wanting a profound shared experience
  • Close friends, siblings, or parent and adult child
