Intimacy & Connection Retreat
April 24–26 · Just Love Forest, Poetry, Georgia
The Intimacy & Connection Retreat at Just Love Forest is a deeply immersive weekend for individuals who feel called to open the heart, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate more authentic, nourishing relationships.
Held in the quiet embrace of 716 acres of protected forest, this retreat invites you to slow down and explore intimacy from the inside out. Rather than focusing on fixing what’s broken, this experience is about discovering what’s possible — how you listen, how you express yourself, how you create safety and trust, and how you meet others with presence, clarity, and care.
Through forest therapy, somatic and embodiment practices, ritual, movement, communication tools, and time in nature, you’ll be guided to soften old defenses, release held emotions, and reconnect with your natural capacity for openness, joy, and connection. The practices are gentle, permission-based, and designed to support both personal insight and real-world relational growth.
This retreat is for individuals - single, partnered, or in transition - who want to deepen intimacy in all its forms: romantic, platonic, familial, communal, and most importantly, with themselves. You’ll leave with embodied tools for clearer communication, healthier boundaries, deeper listening, and greater ease in relationship.
Facilitated by Christina Della Iacono, Laura Sánchez, and Bala Yancey, the weekend includes guided ceremonies, forest immersion, movement and sound journeys, relational skill-building, and spacious time to rest and integrate. Lodging is provided in comfortable canvas bell tents, along with nourishing plant-based meals.
This is an invitation to come as you are, listen deeply, and remember what it feels like to meet yourself and others with honesty, warmth, and love.
