The Return is for couples who love each other and want to be more intentional about the relationship they’re building.

You don’t need to be struggling or trying to fix something. You may simply feel like life has gotten full, connection has become less intentional, or you want space to explore what your relationship could feel like with more presence, curiosity, play, and attention.

The Return is not couples therapy or crisis intervention.

Not at all.

In fact, The Return was created for couples who already have something worth investing in. You can be happy, committed, and good together — and still want more depth, intimacy, communication, play, or connection.

You don’t have to wait until something is wrong to make your relationship a priority.

That’s completely okay. You don’t both need to arrive equally excited about every part of the experience.

What matters is that both partners are choosing to be there and are open to participating, getting curious, and trying something different together.

Intimacy at The Return is about connection — emotional, relational, and physical.

Some practices may explore touch, vulnerability, desire, affection, communication, or physical closeness. Nothing sexual is performed in a group setting, and some experiences will be offered privately for you to explore together as a couple.

Your boundaries matter. You will always have agency over your own body and participation.

The Return is designed as an immersive experience, so we ask couples to arrive willing to participate in the core retreat programming.

At the same time, this isn’t about forcing yourself through an experience that doesn’t feel right. Some practices are invitations, some experiences are optional, and there will be plenty of space to rest, integrate, or simply be together.

You do not need to be an athlete or have a particular fitness background.

Movement is one of the pillars of The Return, but this isn’t a five-day bootcamp. Experiences will range from strength and challenge to slower, grounding movement, with modifications available where appropriate.

Your $9,888 CAD investment per couple includes five nights at La Joya Sayulita, accommodations, daily meals, resort gratuities, retreat programming and workshops, daily movement experiences, curated group experiences, retreat materials, and access to La Joya’s wellness amenities.

Flights, travel insurance, alcohol, optional spa treatments, personal purchases and activities, and airport transportation are not included.

There is no payment or commitment required to apply.
