Reconnect and Fall in Love Again at Our Couples Retreats in Adelaide
Weekend retreats by the sea in Port Willunga, an hour from Adelaide, for couples who want to feel close again.
Bring back the spark and rekindle the intimacy you've been missing
Life gets busy, and couples drift
Most couples do not fall out of love. They fall out of practice.
Work, children and the years quietly pull you apart, until some days you feel more like housemates than partners.
Do you remember how it felt at the start? The excitement, the closeness, the laughter?
If you would love to feel that again, you are in the right place. Closeness is a skill, and it can be relearned.
Meet Jane and Sheila, your retreat facilitators
Focus on Relationships is led by Jane Lewis, who combines her psychology training with her work as an Integrative Relationship Practitioner, and Sheila Eime, a couples counsellor with more than forty years of experience. Together, they bring a unique blend of psychological insight, relationship expertise, and practical wisdom.

You will feel supported from the moment you arrive.
