We are excited to announce the Mystic Rapture Couples Retreat at Anamaya Resort from May 1 – 8, 2027.

A Couples Intimacy Retreat in Costa Rica, for partners who want more.
Eight to twelve couples. Seven days in Costa Rica’s Blue Zone. Guided by Amara Charles, who has spent 30 years teaching couples the art of desire, touch, and honest conversation.
You love each other. But somewhere in the years of work, family, and the ordinary weight of a shared life, the wanting got quiet. You still reach for each other. It just doesn’t land the way it used to, and neither of you is quite sure when that happened or how to say it out loud.
Mystic Rapture is seven days to change that on purpose, with someone experienced guiding you.
You’ll learn practices for touch, desire, and honest communication that almost no one is taught. The teaching happens in a small group. The intimate work happens privately, between the two of you, behind your own door. Nothing is required of you. Every practice is an invitation you can take, adapt, or pass on, and Amara has built this week so that saying no costs you nothing.
The rest of the week is yours. Ocean swims, a sunrise hot tub above the Pacific, meals cooked for you, long afternoons with nothing on the schedule but each other.
You’ll go home with more than a good memory. The week will end, but what you learned doesn’t.

What This Retreat Looks Like:
Couples arrive at Mystic Rapture from very different places. Some are ready to fully commit from the first session. Others prefer to start slowly and build from there. Most are somewhere in between, and often the two people in the same couple aren’t in the same place either.
The week is built for all of that.
You choose your level of participation in everything, and you can change your mind on Wednesday. Nothing here runs on a single pace, because couples don’t. Some of the week is instruction, some is practice, and a good amount is just the two of you with nothing to do but enjoy each other.
You’ll leave with a few things you can actually practice together, not just a good memory. Couples tell Amara the same thing years later. The week mattered, but what changed their marriage was the small habit they built while they were there.
That’s what you’re booking. Seven days in Costa Rica, and something that lasts past the flight home.
Who This Retreat is Perfect For:
Mystic Rapture works best for couples who already have something solid between them and want to build on it. You’ve done the hard years together, you still choose each other, and you’re curious what’s possible if you spent a week paying real attention to your intimacy instead of fitting it into whatever’s left at the end of the day.
You’re a good fit if you want to:
- Go deeper with a bond you already trust. You’re not looking to fix something broken. You’re looking to find out what’s still there, and add to it.
- Learn practices, not just have an experience. Amara teaches touch, desire, and communication as skills, and you want to leave knowing how to do something, not just remembering a nice week.
- Be around a small group of couples doing the same work. Eight to twelve couples, all there for their own relationship, learning alongside each other without anyone else’s process becoming a distraction from yours.
One important note
Mystic Rapture is not couples counseling, and it’s not built to repair a relationship in crisis. If you’re currently working through unresolved trauma or a significant rupture, a licensed therapist is the right next step before a retreat like this one.
It’s also not an open or group sexual experience. The teaching happens together as a group. Everything intimate happens privately, between you and your partner.
This week is for couples who are already good together and want to be more so.

More About Mystic Rapture Facilitators:
Amara Charles has spent 30 years teaching couples how to build intimacy that lasts, and thousands of them have taken her guidance home with them. She’s the author of The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka and the founder of Deeply Bonded Love, where she works with partners who want more than a good relationship. They want a great one.
Amara’s approach is direct and warm at the same time. She’ll ask you the questions you’ve been avoiding, and she’ll make it easy to answer them. Couples describe her teaching as the moment they stopped wondering what was missing and started noticing everything that was already there.
Shyena Venice co-created Deeply Bonded Love and has spent her career helping people feel more alive in their own bodies. She’s a health and wellness expert, a musician, a master masseuse, and a mountaineer, and she brings the same steadiness to all of it: pay attention, stay present, and the rest follows.
She’s traveled widely working with couples and individuals on the same idea, that vitality isn’t something you find once and keep. It’s something you practice. At Mystic Rapture, she brings that practice into the room, with a light touch and a genuine gift for helping people relax into themselves.
What other guests have experienced:
“It’s hard to put into words how magical Anamaya is. The food was amazing, each meal was better than the last. I felt so good by the end of the week. Also, the staff is amazingggg. I immediately felt like I was part of the family and that I was cared for. All in all, most wonderful experience with no complaints. Life changing. Thank you Thank you!”
“Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by the gracious staff and the beautiful ocean, glimmering all around us. The view from the saltwater infinity pool or the yoga deck under a full moon will forever be burned in my memory… the private lodging gave us an intimate view of the sunrise over the water each morning and an equally magnificent sunset from our porch’s hammock. I WILL be back and I highly suggest making Anamaya a must-do on your travel itinerary!”
