SOMAYRA PRESENTS
INTIMATE COUPLES
For couples who have built a beautiful life and want an extraordinary relationship to match
Deepen the love. Awaken the desire. Remember each other
Imagine four days where the rest of the world simply falls away
Where there are no children calling your name. No business demanding your attention. No schedules to coordinate or endless list of things that need to be done.Just the two of you, tucked away in the breathtaking Byron Bay hinterland, surrounded by nature, luxury and enough space to finally exhale. To wake slowly. To linger over beautiful food. To swim, sauna, wander, talk, touch, laugh and remember how good it feels to have nowhere else you need to be.Amongst all that spaciousness, we take you somewhere deeper. Into conversations you’ve been wanting to have. Into greater intimacy, sensuality and desire. Into understanding each other in ways you perhaps haven’t before. Into experiences designed to bring you out of the roles you carry every day and back to the man and woman, partners and lovers underneath it all.This is more than a retreat from your life. It’s four extraordinary days devoted to the relationship at the heart of it. A chance to experience each other differently, create memories you’ll talk about for years and return home not simply rested… yet more connected, more intimate and more in love with the life you’re creating together than ever before!
YOU'VE BUILT A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. NOW COME BACK TO EACH OTHER.
You’ve built a life together. A family. Careers. Businesses. Responsibilities. Dreams.
And somewhere amongst everything required to hold that life together, it can become incredibly easy for the relationship itself to receive what’s left.
INTIMATE COUPLES RETREAT is an opportunity to change that.
Four days to step outside the noise of everyday life and give your relationship your complete attention. To remember who you are beyond parents, business owners, providers, organisers and the people keeping everything moving.
To slow down. To talk about the things you don’t normally have enough space to talk about. To reconnect emotionally, physically and intimately. To laugh. Play. Rest. Desire each other. To have conversations about where you’re going next.
And to leave not simply feeling closer, but with an entirely new depth of understanding, communication and connection between you.
This is not couples therapy.
And you do not need to have a relationship in crisis to come. This is for couples who deeply value what they have and refuse to allow an extraordinary life to be built at the expense of an extraordinary relationship.
Step Out of Your Life. Step Back into Each Other.
A relationship can be good and still have another level available.
You can love each other deeply and still miss each other. You can be committed and still fall into patterns of miscommunication. You can have a beautiful sex life and still know there is more intimacy available.
You can be incredibly capable together and still spend far too much of your relationship discussing children, schedules, businesses, finances and logistics.
And you can have absolutely nothing “wrong” with your relationship while knowing you want more from it.
More depth. More honesty. More polarity. More intimacy. More play. More desire. More understanding.
More time where you are simply lovers and partners again.
Over four days, we take you through a carefully curated combination of relationship coaching, somatic experiencing, conscious communication, masculine and feminine practices, intimacy, sensuality, ritual, breath, emotional connection and spacious integration.
There will be moments that are powerful. Moments that are vulnerable. Moments that are romantic. Moments that are playful and sensual. And moments where absolutely nothing is required of you.
This isn’t four days of sitting in a room talking about your relationship. It is four days of experiencing it differently.
Come as Partners. Remember How to be Lovers.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE AND RECEIVE
OPENING CEREMONY
From the moment you arrive, we intentionally transition you out of everyday life and into the retreat. Our Opening Ceremony creates the foundation for the four days ahead. Connection, intention, presence and a shared commitment to what you both want to create together.
CACAO & HEART-OPENING CONNECTION
A ceremonial cacao experience designed to invite you out of your head and deeper into emotional presence with yourself and each other. A space to soften, connect and experience your partner beyond the conversations and roles that normally fill your days.
CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION
You’ll learn practical frameworks for communicating in a way that creates connection rather than defensiveness: how to speak about what you actually need; listen without immediately fixing, defending or withdrawing; navigate difficult conversations; express desires and fears; repair when you miss each other; and create the emotional safety required for deeper truth.
RELATIONSHIP VISION
Most couples create financial plans, business strategies, family goals and holiday plans. Very few intentionally design their relationship. Together, you’ll explore how you want your relationship to feel, what intimacy looks like, what you’re building together, who you want to become as partners, what needs to change, what deserves to be protected and what you’re ready to create next.
MASCULINE & FEMININE PRACTICES
Experiential practices exploring masculine and feminine dynamics, leadership, surrender, presence, receptivity, desire and polarity. Not rigid gender roles. Not performance. An opportunity to understand the energetic dynamics operating inside your relationship and explore what creates greater attraction, safety and connection.
SENSUALITY & EMBODIMENT
Intimacy begins long before the bedroom. Through guided embodiment, sensory experiences and sensual eating practices, you’ll explore presence, pleasure, touch, anticipation and what happens when you stop rushing through experience.
Not every moment needs to become another thing you have to do
One of the most intentional elements of this retreat is what we don’t schedule.
There will be a morning with no agenda. No workshop. No coaching. No place you need to be.
Wake slowly. Stay in bed. Have coffee together. Walk through the hinterland. Use the sauna. Swim. Sit beside the fire. Talk. Don’t talk. Read. Touch. Laugh. Rest.
Be together without someone needing something from you.
The retreat gives you permission to disappear from the outside world for a while and remember what happens when neither of you is rushing towards the next responsibility.
Some Experiences are better left a surprise
The Lovers Experience Night
There is one evening of the retreat we’re intentionally not going to tell you too much about.
Part of the experience is not knowing what’s coming.
What we will tell you is that this night has been thoughtfully created for you to step away from everything you normally are to everyone else… and return to being lovers.
To anticipation. To romance. To play. To seeing your partner through fresh eyes. To remembering the two people underneath the children, businesses, responsibilities and routines of everyday life.
We’ll take care of everything. There’s nothing to organise, nothing to plan and nowhere else you need to be.
Just come prepared for a night devoted entirely to the two of you.
Four Days. Three Nights. Nine Couples. One Extraordinary Location.
INTIMATE COUPLES RETREAT is held at SOMA, an exclusive transformational retreat space hidden within the Byron Bay hinterland.
Think Bali in Byron Bay.
Lush surrounds. Architectural beauty. Privacy. Space. Nature. Luxury.
Every couple has their own beautiful room and private ensuite, giving you somewhere completely your own to retreat to throughout the experience.
Between sessions, you’ll have time to enjoy the property and its facilities — swimming, sauna, bush walks, sitting around the fire, resting and simply being together.
This environment isn’t an afterthought. It is part of the experience.
We wanted somewhere that felt completely removed from normal life. Somewhere your nervous system could exhale the moment you arrived. Somewhere worthy of four days devoted to your relationship.
Your Relationship Deserves More than the Leftovers
The Couple Behind Intimate Couples Retreat
We’re Kristyn & Stewart Rawson.
Husband and wife. Parents to three girls. Business owners. Facilitators. Coaches. Lovers.
And two people who are just as committed to the evolution of our own relationship as we are to the work we bring into the world.
We’ve been together for 15 years and married for nine, raising three children while building businesses, navigating pressure, ambition, intimacy, parenthood and the constant evolution required to remain deeply connected through different seasons of life.
We understand the complexity of creating an extraordinary relationship while simultaneously creating an extraordinary life. Not from theory. We live it.
KRISTYN RAWSON
Kristyn is a Master NLP Coach, Hypnosis and E.C.T. Practitioner, trauma-informed coach, event facilitator and Somatic Tantra & Embodiment Practitioner. Her work brings together the emotional, relational and embodied. She brings depth, intuition, truth, sensuality and the feminine perspective into the room.
STEWART RAWSON
Stewart is a Master NLP Coach, Hypnosis and E.C.T. Practitioner, trauma-informed coach, event facilitator, Somatic Healing Practitioner and Breathwork Facilitator. His work brings a grounded masculine presence to the space, alongside an understanding of emotional patterns, nervous system responses, communication, relationships and the pressures that can exist for men inside partnership, family and business.
Together, we bring both masculine and feminine perspectives into the room. We don’t believe one person is the problem. We don’t facilitate women against men or men against women. We work with the relationship.
When we’re not doing this
You’ll most likely find us with our three girls.
Our life outside this work is centred around family, connection and creating a life that actually feels good to live in.
We love being outdoors, spending time near the water, travelling, good food, beautiful experiences, deep conversations and those simple moments where there’s nowhere else we need to be.
We’re equally at home talking about relationships, human behaviour and the deeper questions of life as we are laughing together, being parents, spending time as a family or simply enjoying each other’s company.
We’re ambitious people. We love creating, growing and building businesses that mean something to us
But underneath all of it… Our relationship and our family are home.
We don’t believe success should cost you your relationship. We believe the person beside you should get to experience the best of you too, not simply what’s left once the rest of the world has had you.
What Matters Most To Us
Our values aren’t five separate ideas. They build upon one another.
01 FAMILY
The reason behind everything. The businesses we build, the work we do, the wealth we create, the experiences we have and the life we’re building ultimately come back to the people we share it with.
Success means very little to us if it costs us our marriage, our presence with our children or the relationships that matter most.
02 CONNECTION
Being present. Being curious. Knowing each other deeply. Repairing when we get it wrong. Laughing, playing, touching, listening and continuing to choose one another.
Connection is what creates the family we want to experience.
03 INTEGRITY
Who we are behind closed doors matters just as much as who we are when we’re facilitating a room. Integrity means living what we teach, owning our behaviour, having difficult conversations and being willing to look honestly at ourselves.
Integrity creates the safety required for real connection.
04 AMBITION
We want to build extraordinary businesses, create wealth, make an impact, experience incredible things and discover what we’re capable of. But ambition has to answer to something greater than achievement alone.
Ambition calls us into integrity.
05 FREEDOM
Freedom to think differently. To create. To express ourselves. To choose how we live. To build businesses and a life on our own terms.
Freedom gives us the space to pursue what we’re capable of.
THIS RETREAT IS FOR THE COUPLE WHO…
✔ Love each other deeply but know there is another level of connection available.
✔ Have built a full, successful or demanding life and want to ensure their relationship remains at the centre of it.
✔ Want stronger communication without waiting for conflict to become catastrophic.
✔ Want more emotional and physical intimacy.
✔ Want to understand each other at a deeper level.
✔ Miss having uninterrupted time together.
✔ Want more romance, sensuality, play and desire.
✔ Are ready to have conversations they’ve been postponing.
✔ Want practical relationship tools they can continue using long after the retreat.
✔ Or simply want four extraordinary days devoted to each other.
You don’t need a broken relationship to justify investing in it.
The relationship you treasure deserves to be intentionally nurtured before you begin losing it.

FAQs
We know you may have questions before taking the next step. Here are some of the most common ones we hear from couples and individuals just like you.
Do we need to be experiencing relationship problems?
No. This retreat isn’t exclusively for couples in crisis. Many couples come precisely because they have something beautiful and want to protect, deepen and expand it. You may also have particular patterns, communication challenges or areas of intimacy you want support with. Both can exist at the same time.
Do both of us need to want to attend?
Yes. This experience works best when both partners consciously choose to participate. One person doesn’t need to be as enthusiastic initially, but both need to be willing to engage with the experience.
Is this couples therapy?
No. This is an experiential relationship immersion incorporating coaching, communication, somatic practices, embodiment, intimacy and relationship education. It isn’t a replacement for psychological or medical treatment.
What happens during Devotion Night?
We’re intentionally not sharing every detail before you arrive. Devotion Night is a guided experience created specifically for you and your partner, incorporating connection, embodiment, communication, sensuality, masculine and feminine dynamics, intimacy and ritual. Everything is invitation-based and centred around choice, consent and your relationship boundaries.
What is The Lovers Experience Night?
Nice try. That one stays a surprise. What we can tell you is that we’ve created a very special evening designed to take you out of everyday life and back into experiencing each other as lovers. We’ll take care of the rest.
Will we be expected to be intimate in front of other couples?
No. The retreat creates opportunities to explore intimacy and sensuality with your own partner. Your personal boundaries and privacy are respected throughout the experience.
Is there downtime?
Absolutely. We consider it essential. There is intentional spaciousness throughout the retreat as well as a morning specifically left without an agenda so you can enjoy each other and the property.
Where is the retreat held?
At SOMA in the Byron Bay hinterland. Each couple has their own beautiful bedroom and private ensuite.
How many couples will attend?
INTIMATE COUPLES RETREAT is intentionally limited to nine couples. Keeping the group intimate allows us to create a level of connection, safety, personal attention and facilitation that isn’t possible in a large retreat environment.
