6-Day Re-connecting Retreat for Couples in O'ahu, Hawaii
July 1-6, 2025

Start your day by stepping out onto your private balcony with your special someone as you listen to the song of tropical birds and the low hum of the ocean, surrounded by lush greenery and majestic mountains.

Through daily relationship workshops, you’ll question old beliefs, deepen trust, and learn to communicate with more compassion and clarity, using proven methods such as the Work of Byron Katie and the Gottman Method.

Together, you’ll realign around your shared values and dreams, explore what’s been unspoken, and reconnect through presence, movement, and meaningful conversation—all in the heart of nature’s beauty.

You will go on daily strolls through nature, receive a relaxing massage, a sound healing, and maybe even dance under the stars. You'll enjoy wholesome and delicious vegetarian meals, all while relaxing and exploring the magical island. Most importantly, you’ll have the chance to slow down, soften, and truly see each other again.

This retreat is like a vacation—but better. You’ll wake up in the dream destination of Hawaii, surrounded by gorgeous nature, and start each morning with engaging, customized relationship workshops designed to bring you closer. This retreat is only open to two couples to ensure personalized work!

Every morning, we'll do a combination of hands-on work and a deep dive into important relationship topics. We'll strengthen what's good and work on what could be better, with the Work of Byron Katie, the Gottman Method, and elements from RLT (Relational Life Therapy).

I've been working with couples for many years and continue to be impressed by the change possible when two people put their hearts and minds to their relationship and to learning new tools.

Pre-retreat: 2 virtual couples coaching sessions with me
Daily custom-designed relationship workshops
Two relaxing wellness experiences (sound healing and a massage)
Two excursions: to Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden and Kahana Bay Beach Park
Delicious vegetarian meals (chef-prepared as well as catered)
Jungle-view private accommodations at the retreat center
Evening movement and dance (no dance experience needed!)
Airport pickup
Post-retreat: One virtual coaching session with me

About your host

I'm Judith, an experienced and certified facilitator of the Work of Byron Katie, certified positivity coach, and couples coach, and I continue to be moved by the change that's possible, when two people put their minds and hearts to their relationship - and add new insights, realizations, understanding, awareness, and tools!

Originally from Germany, I came to the US to earn a doctorate in piano performance.

What if a 6-day couples retreat in Hawaii would actually make a difference and improve the quality of your relationship? That's my intention for this retreat in Hawaii: to transform your relationship with our workshops every morning, where we use a combination of in-depth work and hands-on tools. We'll use the Work of Byron Katie, the Gottman Method, as well as exercises from Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy.

Obviously, every relationship is unique. And while it's true that I can't promise an improvement, I am very certain that you will see a significant change! I wholeheartedly believe that the work you put into your relationship as well as your commitment, in combination with the experiences, the tools, and the support that I'm providing will make a difference! I have seen over and over again how much a difference is possible!

Retreat Center, open space_edited_edited

With sweeping views of the Koʻolau Mountains and just steps from a white sand beach, the setting is both grounding and inspiring. Three acres of rainforest surround the property, creating a peaceful atmosphere that encourages presence and reflection. Nestled on Oʻahu’s East-side, this retreat center offers a quiet space to rest and reconnect.

Wake up to the gentle sounds of birds and ocean waves, feeling refreshed from a restful night in a triple-sheeted, high-quality bed. Soft spa towels and lightly scented tropical soaps and shampoos are provided to enhance your comfort.

The retreat house is a smoke, alcohol, and drugfree environment, designed to support healing and clarity. Workshops are held in a light-filled space with an open-air patio. Artwork created by past guests adorns the walls and adds a meaningful and personal touch to the space.

Accommodations are private and thoughtfully designed, each with its own bathroom, a comfortable queen bed (with an optional twin), and a private lanai overlooking the lush backyard. With each couple on opposite ends of the retreat center, privacy and quiet are always honored.

This retreat is open to just two couples at a time, ensuring an intimate and undisturbed experience. The investment per couple for the whole retreat, including accommodations, workshops, excursions, shuttle service, and food is $6449 - and we have only one spot left.

After you sign up, all you have to do is book your flight to Honolulu and let us know when to pick you up!
