The Retreat Experience

We’ve created a retreat that gives you space to slow down, reconnect, and focus on what matters most, without sacrificing the vacation you’ve been looking forward to.

Meaningful Time Together
Step away from everyday distractions and make room for conversations that matter. Reconnect around your shared priorities, appreciate what you’ve built together, and focus on your future. These conversations happen between you and your partner, without the pressure of sharing personal details in front of a group.
An Experience Designed for You
Whether you’re new to Mpowered Journey or have already completed the Couples Program, you’ll have opportunities to grow together. The retreat combines shared experiences with tailored programming, including fresh content for returning couples to build on the work they’ve already done.
Plenty of Time to Unwind
This is a getaway, after all! Relax by the pool, enjoy a spa treatment, explore the beautiful desert surroundings, or simply enjoy time together. We’ve intentionally built free time into the retreat so you can make the experience your own.
