"You’re not here to perform or fix anything. Whether you're here to rekindle, deepen, or simply celebrate your connection. The energy of the retreat gently holds you in
a deeper frequency of love."
This Space Is for You If…
You’re looking for a reset, one that feels nourishing, joyful, and heart-opening
You long for nurturing time together, gently supported by inspirational guidance
You want to gift each other with presence, care, and attention
You’re longing for something more than a holiday, meaningful, yet also allowing for your own flow.
Whether you're freshly in love or have walked many miles
side by side.
Whether you're new to couple rituals or well-versed in conscious relating.
This retreat is refreshing, and reigniting, because presence
is simple - and always sexy.
Are you ready to spoil yourselves with an exceptional setting,
where beautiful design, attentive service, and fine cuisine
reflect the care you bring to your relationship?
The Guiding Structure
Though each SOUL 2 SOUL Retreat has its own unique flavor, shaped by the location, the season and sometimes a specific theme, there is a general guiding structure that creates a safe and spacious container for depth, ease and connection.
On average, you’ll experience about 3 hours of guided sessions each day, some of it in a small group setting and some of it privately as a couple in your room or out in nature. Throughout the retreat, you’ll also receive inspiration for shared reflection, such as journaling prompts or partner inquiries, which you can explore together in your own rhythm and at your own pace.
For clarity: There is no nudity or sexual interaction in any shared setting. All practices are done only with your partner and there’s no exchange with other couples during guided sessions. In your free time, you are welcome to connect with other participants or to simply enjoy staying in your own bubble.
Elements of Your Retreat Experience
- Meditative body- and breathwork to relax into presence
- Heart-opening rituals that nurture emotional closeness
- Guided couple experiences that awaken joy, intimacy, and tenderness
- Spacious time to rest, explore, and just be - with yourself and your partner
This Guides You Toward
- Shifting from everyday busyness to inner spaciousness
- Enjoying new ways of seeing, hearing, and meeting each other
- Nurturing your bond after the retreat with at-home rituals.
Optional Extras
Individual Mentoring Session
If you're moving through something tender or simply feel the desire to go deeper, there’s also the option to book a mentoring session with Esther. These sessions are arranged individually and available at an additional cost.
Exclusive Local Experiences
For those who enjoy adventure, selected retreats also offer unique excursions such
as dolphin-watching boat tours or other location-specific activities.
What You'll Take Home
You’ll go home with beautiful memories, not only captured in photos, but alive in your body as a felt sense of deeper connection and shared presence.
And you’ll take with you beautiful and practical tools to keep that connection alive, woven gently into everyday life, long after the retreat ends.
Who's guiding you
Esther Heese and Stefan Fabian
SOUL 2 SOUL Founder Couple
As a couple, we bring a blend of deep relational wisdom and aesthetic sensitivity into the spaces we hold.
Esther (estherheese.com) has spent over 30 years guiding individuals and couples through life’s most profound transitions. Her work focuses on navigating relational thresholds with presence, clarity, and compassion. Trained in Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Integral Couples Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, she has helped hundreds of people build lives and love relationships – rooted in depth, joy, and alignment with their Soul.
Stefan
(branddirection.com) is a creative director and brand consultant for over 30 years with a finely tuned sense for beauty, energy, and emotional resonance. At FabianBrandDirection® – Think. Feel. Create. he supports companies of all sizes in creating brands that connect deeply: building trust, evoking emotion, and fostering lasting loyalty.
In our SOUL 2 SOUL retreats, he brings not only his visual sensitivity for creating beautiful spaces, but also a calm, grounded, and masculine presence – offering clarity, support, and a steady sense of holding throughout the process.
Both have experienced the painful ending of a former long-term marriage as a result of unhealthy dynamics. That journey deepened their understanding of what it truly takes to co-create love that is mindful, nourishing, and alive.
Now, in their partnership, they experience a new quality of connection - one that continues to surprise, soften, and enrich their lives. It is from this place of gratitude and devotion that they feel called to share their experience and wisdom. Together, they create a field where couples can soften, reconnect, and experience what it means to feel deeply connected.
