Reconnect with Each Other: Partners Retreat

An intentional travel retreat for partners who want to slow down, deepen connection, and reconnect with one another in a grounded, supportive, adventurous way.

A Different Way to Reconnect


Relationships often get shaped by routine. Life becomes full, roles take over, and conversations shift from connection to logistics. You may still love each other deeply, yet feel less seen, less chosen, or more like teammates than partners.

Over time, that distance can feel confusing. Not necessarily because something is wrong, but because the relationship has been placed on the back burner while everything else takes priority.

Reconnect with Each Other offers space to pause together, step out of familiar patterns, and remember one another in a new way. Through intentional travel and guided experiences, this retreat is curated to help you slow down, soften the noise of daily life, and reconnect with the part of your relationship that first brought you together.

This retreat welcomes people of all genders, identities, and sexual orientations. It is an LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming space.

Reconnecting Beyond the Everyday

Over time, even strong relationships can slip into autopilot. Days fill with responsibility, conversations become functional, and moments of real presence grow fewer. You may still care deeply for one another, yet feel less connected, less attuned, or unsure how to find your way back.

This retreat creates space beyond the everyday. Space to slow down, step out of familiar roles, and reconnect with one another in a beautiful new environment. Through Sarah’s teaching, intentional travel, and guided experiences, you’ll have the opportunity to notice what’s been missing, soften old patterns, and remember what brings you back to each other.

Who Is Leading This Retreat?

Nick and Sarah Monares

I’m Sarah, a licensed therapist, coach, and writer whose work centers on reconnection, both within ourselves and in our relationships. For years, I’ve supported individuals, partners, and groups in understanding patterns of disconnection and learning how to slow down, build awareness, and relate in healthier ways.

My husband, Nick, supports the retreat through logistics and on-the-ground care throughout the week. His role helps create a steady, supportive container so you can fully settle into the experience.

In 2023, we made the decision to move to Portugal as a way to slow down, realign our priorities, and intentionally invest in our relationship. Living here has deepened our connection to each other, to ourselves, and to the rhythm of daily life.

Now, we’re grateful to share this place and this experience with others who want to step out of routine and reconnect with what matters most.

Why this retreat?

Many couples want to feel closer but struggle to create that space in everyday life. Between work, family, and responsibilities, connection often becomes something you intend to return to later.

This retreat creates intentional space to do that now.

You’ll experience:

  • Time away from daily roles, routines, and distractions
  • Opportunities to slow down and reconnect without pressure
  • Shared experiences that naturally invite reflection and awareness
  • Support in noticing relational patterns with curiosity rather than blame
  • Guidance to help you understand what supports connection—and what pulls you apart

This is an opportunity to prioritize your relationship and get on the same page in a fun and adventurous way.

What You’ll Experience


We design each day to balance exploration, reflection, and rest. You’ll receive the full itinerary after registration, but you can expect a daily rhythm that includes:

  • Guided visits to coastal towns, historic castles and landmarks, and natural landscapes
  • Walks, light hikes, and time by the ocean
  • One gentle yoga session
  • Journaling and guided reflection
  • Group connection with other couples
  • Dedicated time for partners to focus on one another outside the group setting

This retreat includes both shared group experiences and intentional time for partners. Guided activities and reflections help you slow down, step out of daily roles, and reconnect together in a new environment.

Some of the cities you’ll visit:

  • Óbidos, Caldas da Rainha, Foz do Arelho, São Martinho do Porto, Alcobaça, Nazaré, Lisbon, and Belém.
