BILINGUAL MINI RETREATS
June, August or September
Potton, Quebec
SENSUAL LIVING
Simple habits for (sexual) pleasure,
playfulness and confidence
Want to discover the keys to appreciating your body (just as it is!) and experiencing the kind of intimacy and sex you (secretly?) dream of having? Join us for this 3-day retreat to boost your confidence, reconnect with the playful, intuitive parts of yourself, and get all set up to start sprinkling your days with pleasure—like it’s your new favourite seasoning.
While you smile at the fireflies twinkling all around the lush garden, you settle into your seat by the cheerfully crackling fire. You feel like a mix between a goddess and a marshmallow — thanks to your soak in the hot tub.
As you take a sip of your drink, you savour the cinnamon scent and the way the mug warms your hands - like a cute little hug. Glancing up, you marvel at the mesmerizing glow of the embers and the peaceful chorus of cicadas.
Sure, it’s easier to be present like this when you're "on a break" (with someone else doing the dishes), but the real magic is that now you know how to easily sneak sensory (and sexual) delight into even your busiest day. Yes, even Mondays.
And for the first time ever you don’t just hope that life—and sex—can get better with age… you actually believe it. (Wrinkles? Yes. Wisdom? Sure. More orgasms? Hell yes!)
The dates to choose from:
27-30 June or 1-4 August or 5-8 Sept
Sensual living is like flirting with life
and allowing sensory pleasure to light you up
so that your sexuality becomes the source of all the goodness it's meant to be.
Marlene, your retreat guide
Wouldn’t it be great…
​​​​​
-
to receive touch that makes you melt - and be able to offer the same to your lover... or anyone lucky enough to be within arm’s reach?
-
to learn the keys to having great sex, solo or partnered - at any stage of life (yes, even if you’re more into naps than novelty positions)?
-
to bring regular moments of calm and pleasure into your days - even if planning your days is currently like a game of Tetris?
-
to effortlessly flirt or be playful with your partner or date (or cat?) - because you feel energized instead of drained?
-
to feel sexy, confident and at totally at ease with being seen naked - without having to wait for the squats to show results. Life's short.
-
if talking about sex or intimacy felt easy and even fun - because you finally know exactly what you want (and aren't afraid to ask for it)?
-
to feel deeply connected to your body and actually appreciate it as it is - cellulite, yellow teeth, wrinkles, and all?
Fuck beauty ideals.
All this starts with living in a sensual way. Curious? Keep reading...​
sensuality


the enjoyment, expression, or pursuit of physical, especially sexual, pleasure.

"he ate the grapes with surprising sensuality"


the condition of being pleasing or fulfilling to the senses.
"life can dazzle with its sensuality, its colour"

By living sensually and embracing all the ways your body is designed to experience pleasure and beauty, you quickly start to feel more alive and confident. And—no surprise—other people will be drawn to your sensuality, magnetised by that irresistible feel-good vibe you’re radiating. It’s less “trying to be sexy” and more “can’t help it!”
A charming house
to get us in the mood
​​​​​
Full of colours, natural materials, and cozy pillows, this gorgeous home —with its many beautiful spots to chill out and a rich garden all around—will be a real treat for our senses.
Have you ever heard of the Danish word hygge?
We consider it a must-have for any course, workshop, or retreat we offer—and this house? It’s got hygge nailed like a pro.
Hygge (n.) - Hyggelig (adj.)
A quality of coziness, comfort, and contentment that fosters a sense of well-being and belonging.
It’s a lot easier to feel sensual in a hyggelig house— because when the vibe’s this cozy, even your inner flirt wants to come out and play.
Actually, embodying sensuality is a bit like feeling hygge—at home and at ease—inside your own body. It’s nothing grand or complicated. It can be about feeling joyful, playful, or downright sexy. The way we like to put it: it’s about feeling positively “aroused”—and fully, unapologetically alive.
The dates to choose from:
27-30 June or 1-4 August or 5-8 Sept
A magnificent valley surrounded by mountains
​
Every time I arrive in the Ruiter Valley—by car or bike—my heart does a little happy dance.
Even if you’re local, chances are you’ll agree: this valley is pure magic. And the retreat house? Nestled right in the heart of it.
Honestly, just getting there will be a sensual experience in itself—winding roads, epic views, and the sense that something special is about to happen...
We’ll be gathering in Potton, a tiny village with big charm. If you decide to join us, we’ll send you all the juicy (and practical) details— including the address of course.
Now let us seduce you with some of the experiences that await you…
Arrival will be at 5pm on Friday evening
and departure at 11am on Monday morning.
Movement & Play
​​​​​​
Energized by a beautiful smoothie sipped in your pyjamas, you meet the others on the little lawn where you discover a whole new kind of morning movement! Sensual self-touch, delicious hip circles and juicy jumping - as you breathe and laugh you feel your soul light up.
Two playful morning sessions will help you tune in to your body in new ways and explore the magic of sensual movement: one solo and one duo-based. Oh—and expect a few hilarious energizer games that will awaken your inner child (and maybe your inner goofball too).
Teachings & Practices
​​​​​​
You cradle your tea and wonder what will be next after the eye-opening presentation on the keys to great sex (so many aha moments!), a powerful tantra-inspired breathing practice (which might just become your new favourite), and a mind-blowing session on how to access the full menu of orgasms your vulvovaginal universe has to offer. "Classes" have never been quite so... eh, let’s just say stimulating.
The teachings and guided practices will take place in various cozy spots, with demos, stories, and visuals. No boring lectures—we promise. This is a retreat, not a classroom snoozefest.
​
Journaling & Sharing
​​​​​​
You rise from the sun-drenched dining table, where your pen has been on fire with reflections. As you rejoin the circle, you’re excited to hear what others have to say—and even to share your own goldmine of thoughts. And that while you're usually shy to speak in front of others!
After each teaching moment, there will be space for journaling and sharing in duos, trios, or the full group—so you can get clear on your desires, insights, and post-retreat next steps. And if you’d rather just listen? Totally fine. Respecting your boundaries will be celebrated!​
Touch & Massage
​​​​​​
The scent of cedar drifts from the oil candle as you shift your attention to your feet. Your workshop buddy’s touch feels uncannily pro— so you give a content little moan to cheer her on. Encouraged, you start wondering if it will feel as good to her when it will be your turn to practice the professional massage moves you just learned.
During two workshops you will learn the foundations of powerful massage and touch and how to make giving and receiving instructions and feedback something light and fun.​
Dance-party
You finally slip into that cool-and-sexy outfit that’s been waiting patiently in your closet for just the right moment. Tonight, you dance for you. No performance, no pressure—just pure, sweaty, sparkly joy. And when the song you submitted to the playlist hits? You absolutely OWN it.
This gamified dance party will be part liberation ritual, part confidence boost, part epic group-bonding experience. Expect movement, mischief, and magic on the dance floor.
Mocktail Class
​​​​​​​
Mocktailmaking turns out to be a lot simpler (and sexier) than you thought. After slicing and sniffing your way through fresh ingredients, it’s time for the shaking—cue a room full of adults giggling like tipsy teens. The name of the drink? Vulvalicious. That might explain it.
You’ll get a taste of sensual mixology—no fancy bar tools or high-end ingredients required. Just juicy fruit, ordinary kitchen gear, and a bit of playful flair.​
Free Time
Hot tub bubbles, sun lounging in the garden, or sprawling out for a nap on the giant pink sofa? The choices are almost too good. In the end, you opt for a stroll to admire the mountain views—and feel quite smug about it.
Over the three days, you’ll enjoy plenty of short and longer breaks for relaxing, wandering, journaling, or getting to know your fellow sensuality explorers. Plus, if you want, you could sleep for 10 hours each night!
Culinary Sensuality
Eating and drinking will, of course, be a central part of the sensual experience during this retreat—a true treat for all five of our senses.
All the food will be healthy and vegetarian, crafted mostly from organic ingredients and featuring fresh local produce. Vegan and gluten-free options will be on the menu too—because pleasure should never come with compromises.
FRIDAY - SPICES & TEXTURE
Slow Supper
Spicy
After a refreshing welcome drink, we’ll get warmed up with comforting snacks and dishes made for savouring. The focus? Eating slowly and admiring every spice and textured bite.
Bewitching Banquent
Seductive
SATURDAY - APPEARANCE & FLAVOUR
Day two’s food and drinks will be a feast for the eyes—and oh, the way those flavours mingle… Dinner promises an experience so delicious, it might just leave you breathless.
Fireside Feasts
Sensory
SUNDAY - SMELL & TEMPERATURE
We’ll focus on scents and seductive temperature differences. Evening fun includes cooking together over the fire—because nothing sparks connection like a little culinary teamwork.
Breakfast Boost
Sexy
MONDAY - ALL THE ELEMENTS
Our last morning’s breakfast will prove that even something simple can be seriously sensual. Expect a satisfying combi of texture, spice, flavour, aroma, temperature, and eye candy.
The dates to choose from:
27-30 June or 1-4 August or 5-8 Sept
We kind of get taught that desire and arousal just happen. A shirt gets taken off and... BAM! Your mind, body and spirit should be instantly in the mood, ready to get started.
Forget about it.​ If you've been running around all day—barely pausing to check in with your own body—don't expect to be ready for intimacy or sex in a snap. It's just not how it works for most of us.
Most of us need to (re)learn how to generate pleasing sensations inside our body, invite body-positive thoughts into our minds, and consciously nourish our arousal throughout the day—because spontaneous combustion is mostly a movie thing.
​
​​​​​​
The good news? All the sensual living habits and practices you'll discover during this retreat are simple and could be integrated into demanding schedules. But no sugarcoating here: simple doesn’t always mean easy.
Building new habits can be damn challenging. Starting out full of fervour is easy enough, but sticking with it? That’s the tricky part, right? That’s why you’ll be guided to start each habit during the retreat—so by the time you head home, you’ll already have a solid foundation (and a few new ‘sexy superpowers’).
​
Plus, the post-retreat accountability group and video calls will be there to help you stay connected to your sexy, sensual self in your everyday reality—because even sensual wonder workers need a little backup sometimes.
​
The way you feel in your body, how much you enjoy your days, and the strength and dept of your relationships are some of the biggest factors that influence your happiness. By learning to live sensually and overcoming your intimacy and sexual challenges, the next decade of your life could be the best!
​

We created this retreat inspired by our own journeys
In my early twenties, I would roll my eyes at how some people described their sex lives: full-bodied, mind-blowing, soul-connection. To my down-to-earth Dutch ears, it sounded over the top. But I was intrigued. These relationships felt profound, and the orgasms… well, almost too good to be true!
Sex with my boyfriend was passionate—we were only a year in—but I wasn’t fully myself. I feared he'd fall out of love if I showed my insecure parts. I'd never had an orgasm that lasted more than a few seconds, and thanks to my Christian upbringing, I saw self-pleasure as a shameful, sad substitute for the “real thing.” As for body confidence and emotional intimacy? I preferred to keep my bra on and my insecure feelings zipped.
We all know how intimate relationships come with ups and downs — and that sex is not just about orgasm. But if you’re anything like us, you don’t want to get to your 80s feeling like you missed out.
​Maybe you’ve never had the kind of relationship(s) that you dream of having. Or maybe sex used to feel great, but you feel you’ve lost your spark (a bit) since [fill in the blank].
I first got interested in learning more about relationships and sex back in 2012, when a slideshow of vulvas inspired me and my housemates to start a regular meet-up in our living room that we ended up calling “Vag Night.”
Thanks to Vag Night, we spent years reading books and blogs, watching talks and documentaries, and exploring our bodies. It helped. We got better at understanding our relationships and sexuality, and we started to really enjoy talking about sex.
But it didn’t uncover what was holding me back from deeper emotional intimacy or the kind of orgasms I’d only ever read about.
That secret started to reveal itself when I discovered embodiment techniques during an intensive training program to become a sex and relationship coach. Techniques like breathing, movement, self-massage, and visualization.
Within a month of practicing these techniques and weaving sensuality into my daily life, I began to break through physical and emotional blocks I hadn’t even known were there. I also began to experience full-body orgasms—ones that could go on and on. What blew my mind most, though, was how these practices helped me feel simultaneously calm and energized—a deeply satisfying mix I’d never known before.
So, after finishing my training, I reached out to my Vag Night buddies to join forces. Our mission? To guide others on the same journey we’d found ourselves on.
Since 2020, we’ve run a non-profit with one delightful goal: to help women, non-binary folks with vulvas, and couples reconnect with their sensual magic. We LOVE our work and can’t wait to share it with you.

Hi, I'm Marlene
I like writing lists, bouncing on big trampolines, cooking Ottolenghi recipes, and—yes—orgasms.
I’m also a huge fan of outdoor adventures—including the kind that combine scenic views with a dash of sexual thrill. What can I say? Organizing things soothes me, I value play and good food, and nature reliably turns me on.
I’m a certified sexuality and relationship coach and a Thai Yoga Massage therapist. My academic and professional training spans anthropology, sociology, sexology, psychology and a blend of modern and traditional therapeutic approaches. I’m also a bit of a group facilitation nerd and I've led group processes with hundreds of people in 16 different countries.
These days, I live in an eco-village on Mont Pinnacle in Frelighsburgh with my partner Samuel and a cat who doubles as the world’s cutest massage assistant and a true master of sensual living.
If we haven’t met yet, think of me as the girl next door—the flirty but totally ordinary kind. There’s nothing particularly special about me or my body, and everything I’ve discovered and brought into my life is available to you too...
If you decide to join me on this retreat adventure, bring a notebook. You might want to jot down a thing or two!
The dates to choose from:
27-30 June or 1-4 August or 5-8 Sept
