How it works

Preparing for your Retreat
Step One: A free 15-minute consultation by phone 

Ask us lots of questions and tell us what you are looking for! Together we will decide if you are ready to set up an intensive assessment over Zoom.


Step Two: 3-Hour Assessment over Zoom

Our intensive 3-hour conversation is an assessment and a launching pad all in one. You will get a sense of who we are and what it will be like to work together.  You deserve to know that we are the right guides for your couple and that we will support and challenge you in the best ways possible.  The conversation allows us to ensure that this is the right time for your couple to attend the retreat.  You will find that the assessment alone inspires changes in your couple. 

At the end of our 3-hour conversation we will know whether your couple is ready to proceed.  If your couple needs some additional preparation, we will talk about how best to do that. If you are ready to schedule a Ripening Retreat, we will spend the last portion of our time discussing the various retreat options.  The question to consider regarding selecting the right duration for you will be how much intimacy are you ready to pursue?  


Step Three: Attend your Ripening Retreat

We host your retreat at Dr. Berry’s home sanctuary in Warwick, NY.  We will recommend local accommodations as you will be staying off-site and enjoying breakfast and dinner on your own.  We will provide lunch and snacks on retreat days.  


Step Four: Follow-up Conversation 

Two months after your retreat we will meet again on Zoom to celebrate changes that have occurred in your couple and highlight areas for future erotic and relational growth.
