6 Day
Deepen Your Relationship
Couple Retreat
Create an intimate relationship with yourself and your partner through emotional awareness, a heart-to-heart connection, and heart-centered communication.
How does your relationship feel? And how do you want it to feel?
This private 6-day/5-night coaching and Argentine tango dance retreat is completely customized for you, and your partner and tailored to your needs.
We deep dive into decoding patterns in communication, behavior, and acting that limit your relationship to thrive and flourish. You will explore new possibilities for growing towards each other, bringing curiosity, compassion, renewed openness, and playfulness into your connection with each other
The foundation for this transformative relationship coaching program is a powerful blend of Argentine tango dance, hand in hand with Neuro-Linguistic Programming, heart-centered communication technique, creative processes, and somatic-energetic techniques such as intuitive systemic constellations, coaching with archetypes, emotional release, and chakra psychology,
A refreshing approach to coaching
A thriving relationship requires constant attention and care. When you just meet, sparks jump back and forth and love seems to blossom and grow all by itself.
The hustle and bustle of the day catch up with being spontaneously and passionately in love. For some, it is a challenge to stay connected with themselves. Let alone maintain a deep connection with their partner. Does this feel familiar?
This is the moment when it becomes important to consciously invest in your love for yourself, and each other. If you don’t regularly make time to truly see, hear, feel, and acknowledge each other, patterns creep in that can make the relationship a habit.
Perhaps without realizing you start to take each other for granted, or you have both taken on roles in your relationship that no longer suit you. Perhaps you are putting your inner critic between you and your partner, or creating expectations and demands on each other that may not be in line with who you both are at heart. Slowly the mind takes over from the heart, your relationship loses emotional intimacy and perhaps you grow apart unknowingly and without wanting to.
Becoming aware of how your relationship is with yourself and your partner gives space to really see, hear and feel each other, and to open up again to your needs and those of your partner. To review the roles and relationship dynamics you both may have grown into over time and make space for both of you to truly be yourselves. For some couples, this is the time to say goodbye to each other.
For other couples, it is an opportunity to breathe new life and passion into their love for each other, to meet each other again on a heart level, and to deepen the relationship. To grow together towards a deeper, more fulfilling experience of emotional, and physical intimacy. And this retreat is here to help you grow closer to each other again and connect with yourself and your partner on a deeper level
In this private retreat, you both are invited to:
Boost your relationship:
- By transforming patterns in communicating, behavior, and acting that limit your relationship to thrive and flourish
Grow your relationship by exploring:
- How to stay both present, aware, and connected to yourself and each other so that you can sense and respect your own needs and boundaries and those of each other.
- How to listen to each other from your body and heart and tune into the subtle undertow.
Spark your relationship by discovering:
- The power of learning something new together
- The power of playfully creating together in the moment from heart-centered communication, and the sensual embrace of Argentine tango.
Peter and Pingel are so special! It was such a treat to stay in their sanctuary.
Their farm is an oasis of abundance, peace, love and healing in the magical mountains of the Sierra Nevada. We were comfortable and able to fully relax into the experience as they took such great care of us with delicious, nutritious and creative food, kindness and great conversations.
Using tango as a metafor to understand the relationship dynamics was poignant and fun.
Pingel is incredibly intuitive and a powerful medicine woman. It often felt like she could see right thru us to the core of our embodied experience and this invoked a lot of trust for me. Peter has super positive, easy going vibes and was a pleasure to be around.
The authenticity, wholeness and uniqueness of their mission was obvious. We were very pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the experience.
Are you ready to boost, grow, and spark your relationship?
The Program
We welcome you both with a delicious, light lunch between 12:00 and 14:00 on the day of arrival. We will start a check-in session towards the end of the afternoon.
From Monday morning, two coaching sessions will follow every day except Wednesday and Friday (departure day). There is usually one session in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The sessions consist of a powerful synthesis of NLP coaching, heart-centered communication techniques, Argentine tango, systemic constellation ritual, coaching with archetypes, and somatic-energetic processes. They are aimed at both revealing limiting relationship dynamics and healing the heart, freeing you from limiting patterns and painful, old stories, and connecting with each other in fresh, new ways.
On Wednesday you will have a break to rest, process, and integrate. You are invited to join us for a gentle hike in the higher mountains, have a picnic, and a visit to the beautiful white villages higher in the mountains.
You will find a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment with space to meet yourself on a deeper level, in your own time and pace. It is our greatest aspiration and joy to make your both stay, and journey a truly wonderful, transformative, and nourishing experience.
No prior experience in Argentine tango dance is needed.

About us: Peter & Pingel
As teenagers, we met each other on a dancefloor and fell in love. We’ve been dancing together throughout life and on the dance floor ever since. We discovered the Argentine Tango in ’97 just before our marriage. Like so many new things we undertake together, we went for it. Trips to Argentina, workshops, tango holidays, etc.
We have been teaching Tango for many years. First at a big tango school in Rotterdam, to start our own school (TangoWorks) some years later. We performed and taught at national and international festivals. We organized an annual Tango week in France for more than a decade.
In 2019, we boldly followed our dream to live in the south of Spain and combine all our strengths and skills in offering retreats of self-discovery, inner growth, and healing.
In addition to Argentine tango, we bring our rich background in NLP coaching, Heart-centered communication, Mindfulness, Trauma healing, somatic-energetic therapy, Feldenkrais somatic education, Expressive Arts therapy/coaching, systemic constellation work, and coaching with archetypes.
Recharge your relationship! Spend a wonderful, inspiring week with us on our Finca in Spain.
