Yin Yang Union
A transformational retreat for couples ready to harmonize polarity and elevate their union
The ThemeA Couples Retreat for Deeper Repair, Stronger Teamwork, and Lasting Connection
Strengthening masculine & feminine energies individually and together - the foundation for stronger repair and deeper connection
Healthy relationships aren’t defined by the absence of conflict.
They’re defined by how partners repair and return to one another afterward.
The couples who grow closer over time aren’t avoiding hard conversations. They’ve learned how to repair without leaving residue- without emotional hangovers, unspoken resentment, or quiet disconnection that lingers beneath the surface.
This retreat exists for couples who already care deeply about growth, self-awareness, and conscious partnership- and who know that the next level of intimacy doesn’t come from better communication alone, but from how masculine and feminine energies interact during moments of tension.
Why Masculine & Feminine Energy Matters in Conflict Repair
Masculine and feminine energies aren’t about gender roles or personality types.
They’re about how we lead, receive, respond, protect, express, and repair- especially under stress.
In conflict:
The feminine often seeks to be felt, heard, and emotionally met
The masculine often seeks clarity, direction, and a path forward
When these energies are out of balance, even emotionally intelligent couples can struggle. Conversations may be clear, but closeness is missing. One partner may feel unheard while the other feels defeated or unsure how to show up. Both may care deeply, yet still feel disconnected.
This work isn’t about choosing feminine over masculine- or leaning harder into one side. Healthy relationships require access to both energies in each partner.
Most relationship challenges aren’t caused by a lack of love or effort, but by imbalance.
One partner may over-lead, manage, or carry emotional labor, while the other withdraws, defends, or becomes overly task-focused. Over time, this creates tension rather than partnership.
When both partners strengthen clear masculine energy (direction, containment, leadership, clarity) and healthy feminine energy (presence, receptivity, emotional attunement, expression), repair becomes collaborative rather than corrective. No one has to compensate for the other.
The relationship stabilizes and deepens.
When Repair Stays Intellectual, Connection Suffers
For many couples, repair happens intellectually- the conversation makes sense, apologies are exchanged, agreements are made- but the body doesn’t catch up.
When repair doesn’t reach the somatic and emotional level, the nervous system remains guarded. The mind may say “we’re fine,” but the body still holds tension, distance, or alertness. This is why couples can technically resolve an issue, yet feel cold, disconnected, or cautious with one another days later.
True repair requires the body to register safety again- not just understanding.
Similarly, conflict often gets “resolved,” yet safety doesn’t fully return.
Not physical safety, but emotional and relational safety:
The safety to be honest without backlash
The safety to express needs without defensiveness
The safety to soften, relax, and trust the relationship again
Without this felt safety, partners unconsciously brace for the next rupture. Over time, this leads to avoidance of difficult conversations, unresolved resentment, and emotional distance- even in relationships where communication skills are strong.
This retreat focuses on repair that restores safety, not just peace.
The Core Focus: Conflict Repair Without Residue
The number one theme couples named in the survey I sent out, and from my work as a coach, was clear: conflict repair.
Not avoiding conflict. Not communicating better.
But repairing in a way that:
Leaves both partners feeling understood
Rebuilds emotional safety and trust
Strengthens teamwork rather than eroding it
Deepens connection instead of depleting it
When repair is incomplete, relationships quietly become another source of stress- adding to burnout, emotional fatigue, and overwhelm from daily life. When repair is embodied and mutual, the relationship becomes a place of regulation and support.
The Transformation
By the end of this retreat, couples will experience:
Stronger, more complete repair after conflict
Deeper emotional and relational connection
Greater safety with one another
A felt sense of teamwork, even during tension
Which means:
Conflict no longer threatens the relationship
Difficult conversations feel safer and more productive
Both partners feel seen, respected, and valued
The relationship becomes a stabilizing force, not another demand
How We’ll Get There
This retreat is experiential, grounded, and practical- designed for couples who are already self-aware and ready to refine how they relate.
We’ll focus on:
Expanding emotional intelligence so feelings can be expressed and received without overwhelm or defensiveness
Increasing awareness of subconscious programming that drives reactions during conflict
Strengthening teamwork that doesn’t require partners to heal or process in the same way or at the same pace (this one is a big one! Because often times frustration is amplified by the desire of what partner wishing the other was further along on their healing journey)
The goal isn’t perfection- it’s responsiveness, safety, and mutual growth.
Meet Your Facilitators
Men’s Coach & Co-Facilitator: Raj
Raj works with men who are ready to pursue a path of freedom in their lives.
He has worked with thousands of men across the United States and is a lead and senior coach for Men on Fire. Before dedicating himself fully to this work, Raj owned a minor league baseball team- ultimately stepping away from that chapter to pursue his deeper calling: helping men heal at the root.
His approach is grounded not only in coaching experience, but in embodied practice. Raj has a background in martial arts, tantra, and multiple breathwork modalities, which deeply inform the way he works with the nervous system, emotional regulation, and masculine integrity. Having done profound work to heal his own trauma, he guides from lived experience as well as structured methodology.
What makes Raj especially powerful in this space is his embodied integration of both grounded masculine leadership and attuned emotional depth. He carries strength and direction while remaining deeply present, intuitive, and relational. That rare blend is exactly why Asia personally invited him to travel across the world to co-facilitate and lead the men inside this retreat. The space requires a man who can hold structure and safety while guiding other men into vulnerability, ownership, and integrity.
Many of the men he supports are doing well externally- career, responsibilities, leadership - but feel stuck in a private cycle that creates distance, secrecy, shame, guilt, or regret in their relationships.
He is also a digital nomad, traveling from country to country while building a life aligned with freedom and purpose. Raj and Asia first met in Costa Rica at the beginning of their digital nomad journeys - a shared commitment to growth and intentional living that now shapes the work they facilitate together.
When you work with Raj, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental space with clear direction and accountability.
Together, you’ll:
• Identify patterns and triggers
• Strengthen emotional self-regulation
• Bring the nervous system out of vigilance
• Build sustainable daily routines
• Learn how to repair, rebuild trust, and show up with consistency and empathy
The goal is simple: You feel more like yourself, more certain in your choices, and able to lead your life and relationships with integrity.
This retreat is intentionally co-facilitated to support both individual and relational transformation.
You’ll be guided by two facilitators working in clear, complementary roles- so both partners receive depth, direction, and safety throughout the weekend.
Women’s Coach & Lead Facilitator: Asia Camacho Hilario
Asia is the lead facilitator for the retreat and the primary guide for the women’s work and integrated couples sessions.
She has supported 300+ clients over six years as a coach, speaker, and retreat leader, and is known for blending emotional depth with grounded structure. Her work bridges psychology, nervous system regulation, and relational embodiment- helping people move beyond insight into lived change.
Asia’s approach is relational, trauma-aware, and practical. She creates containers where honesty feels possible, safety is prioritized, and growth doesn’t require self-abandonment or over-efforting.
Coaching approaches used include:
CBT-informed (cognitive behavioral therapy) practices
Somatic therapy-based practices
Emotional intelligence tools
Nervous-system-friendly communication strategies
Mindfulness and values-based relationship frameworks
This work is designed to help you understand why patterns show up- and to give your body and nervous system a new experience of repair, safety, and connection.

❋
The Power of Growing in Community
While this retreat is deeply intimate, it’s not meant to be isolating. Humans were never meant to grow in pairs alone.
We talk about villages for children- but adults need villages too, especially when doing meaningful relational work. Growth integrates more deeply when it’s witnessed and reinforced by others who value the same depth.
At this retreat, you’ll grow:
Women alongside other women
Men alongside other men
Couples alongside couples
The relationships formed here often become lifelong friendships and support systems- people who understand your values, your language, and the work you’re committed to beyond this space.

A felt sense of safety that allows both partners to soften and lead when needed
Greater confidence navigating hard conversations without fearing disconnection
Practical frameworks you can return to long after the retreat ends
A renewed sense of being on the same team
You won’t just understand each other better—you’ll feel more secure, aligned, and steady together.

Relief from carrying emotional labor alone
Clarity in expressing needs without over-explaining or over-managing

A circle of women who speak the same language of repair and relational integrity
These are not surface-level connections. They are relationships rooted in shared standards and shared evolution.

A brotherhood of men actively committed to their healing, leadership, and relational integrity
Space to grow alongside other men who are doing the work—not bypassing it
Accountability that sharpens clarity, emotional steadiness, and follow-through
Greater confidence in leading repair and restoring safety
Emotional depth without losing grounded strength
Tools to stay present under stress instead of withdrawing or reacting
This retreat is application-based for a reason. The men in the room are intentionally curated - each committed to growth, responsibility, and elevated energy.
When surrounded by other men holding the same standard, leadership strengthens naturally. Growth accelerates when it’s refined in community.
