Category: Bliss In Relationships
*Bliss In Relationships is designed mainly for you and your close ones- your friends, family, partners, anyone you love. We designed different workshops not only to deepen your connections but also to create memorable experiences.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to 16-year-old and over.
" Our daily lives can sometimes be so draining that we rarely have time to listen to each other and have a meal together."
This Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is the perfect time to reunite with your significant other. Soul Barn creates an offline space where you can enjoy the tranquility and connection exclusive to the two of you.
In a serene, private, and comfortable house by the peaceful North Coast, we will fully focus on each other. Through regulated breathing exercises, we will experience the power of deep relaxation and emotional tranquility.
After harmonizing our breath, we will practice sharing emotions and perceptions with each other in an unrestricted conversation space, where we can open our hearts and freely share our experiences. With mutual support and guided touch, we help each other achieve complete relaxation in our bodies, injecting new vitality into our relationship.
As night falls, we gather in a circle with companions from various places and share our experiences with our partners.
By immersing ourselves and our cherished ones in the retreat, profound rejuvenation has taken place. The transformations experienced in our lives become delightful surprises for all involved.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Deep Listening and Yoga Instructor: Yoanna
In this retreat, follow Yoanna as you go on a journey of listening, connecting, gazing, and touching. With your partner, allow the two of you to be heard and taken care of.
“In a world that is so fast paced, we all need to learn how to stay calm and move at our own pace.”
Yoanna has experienced healing and growth through Breathing Techniques, Yoga, and Meditation Practices, and she hopes to bring that experience to our attendees too.

Awareness in the Dark: Rosalyn
In this retreat, Rosalyn will be leading attendees on exploring our mind and body in the darkness.
“In a place of darkness, we actually see more around us.”
In her past experience, Rosalyn has formed a deep connection with her body through contact improvisation dance. She has also discovered how contact improvisation dance helps with being more mindful about the body.Our brain is very similar to a radio tape, in which it continuously repeats something it has learned. However, as we neglect being controlled by our brain and follow our body, we can relearn and rediscover many new things.
Let us follow Rosalyn’s guide and allow our five senses to open up for an unprecedented experience.
*This session will be guided in Chinese
