A ZÁRIA Couples Journey
El Valle · Samaná · Dominican Republic
The 7-Day Couples Retreat
March 14–20, 2027
A sacred medicine journey for two — healing what each of you carries, and finding your way back to each other. A private room for every couple; ten couples, never more.
Six nights and four sacred medicine ceremonies — healing what each of you carries, then finding your way back to each other through deep couples work. Ten couples. Never more.

The Invitation
Who this is for
This is for couples who love each other and are ready to go deeper than the conversations they already know how to have. The patterns you keep repeating, the things you've stopped saying, the version of you both that got lost in the busy years — this is the place to meet them, together.
Each partner does their own inner work, and then you bring it into the space between you. The week is structured around guided couples sessions, ceremony, and integration you do side by side — held by our resident Maestro and a team that sits with every couple personally.
Every couple has a private room. We hold ten couples, never more. And we screen each partner individually, because the work is only as safe as the two people entering it.
The Arc
How the week moves
Day 1
Arrival & Landing
Settle into your private room, meet the other couples and the facilitation team, and share a meal. An opening circle to set the container and each couple's intention.
Day 2
Your Own Ground
Guided work on what each of you brings — your patterns, your history, your longing. In the evening, the first ceremony.
Days 3–5
The Heart of the Work
Three more ceremonies, paced with rest between. By day, guided couples sessions: repair, truth-telling, and rebuilding trust, one layer at a time.
Day 6
Integration Together
Couples integration sessions and practical work on the agreements, rituals, and ways of speaking you'll carry home.
Day 7
Closing & Departure
A closing circle, a final shared meal, and transport to the airport.
Who Holds The Space
Your facilitators
Revan Vega
Co-Founder · Facilitator
Co-founder of ZÁRIA. Revan has spent years in deep personal work within sacred medicine traditions across the Americas, and guides alongside Tomás in every circle — holding the container for the week and leading the integration work that carries the experience home.
Azaya
Co-Host · Retreat Support
Co-host of the ThriveHive Show and of this journey. Azaya holds the human side of the week — arrivals, logistics, meals, and the hundred small details that let you stay fully in the work.
Tomás “Shamas” García
Resident Maestro
ZÁRIA’s resident Maestro. Tomás trained for years with the Shipibo people of the Peruvian Amazon — the songs, the discipline, and the lineage that shape how ceremony is held — and now lives on this land full-time. The container you enter is not one he visits. It is one he lives in, tends, and prays in every day.
Danielle “Dani” Brooks
Integration Guide
Author of The Revelation Integration Method and founder of the Revelation Integration Institute, Dani has guided thousands — more than 6,000 client hours — through the delicate work of weaving profound experience into daily life. With a background in somatic awareness, nutrition, and emotional healing, she leads the group integration sessions that carry this week home: as lived truth, not theory.

The Process
How to join us
01
Apply as a couple
One partner submits the application for both of you — about ten minutes, including an honest medical picture.
02
We review it personally
Revan, Azaya, and Tomás review every application. If it looks like a fit, we reach out to schedule a call.
03
Screening conversation
A real conversation with both of you — your histories, your medications, your intention as a couple, and whether this is the right work for you now. Each partner is screened individually.
04
Reserve your place
If we both say yes, we send private payment instructions for your deposit. Your place is held once it lands.
Preparation begins before you arrive
Thirty days before arrival, your preparation opens — dietary guidance, a group preparation call, and direct access to the facilitation team, so you step off the plane ready. Early-bird pricing holds until preparation opens.

Questions
Before you apply
Do we both need to apply?+
One of you submits the application for the couple. Both partners join the screening call, and each of you is screened individually — medications and health history included — before we confirm your place.
Is this couples therapy?+
No. It is ceremonial and relational work held by an experienced team — structured couples sessions, ceremony, and integration. It is not a substitute for clinical care, and couples in active crisis or with any safety concerns in the relationship should talk with us before applying.
Do I need previous experience?+
No. We work with people at every stage, from first-timers to those with years of practice. What matters more than experience is readiness and honesty during screening — which is exactly what the application and interview are for.
Why is there an application instead of a booking button?+
This work is not right for everyone, and certain medical and psychiatric conditions and medications create genuine risk. We screen every participant personally before accepting them. It protects you, it protects the group, and it lets us prepare properly for who is actually in the room.
What medications are a concern?+
Several classes of medication — particularly SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, lithium, and certain cardiac and blood-pressure medications — can interact dangerously with this work. Please disclose everything you take on the application. We will talk it through on your screening call, and if a taper is needed, that is a conversation for you and your prescribing physician, with enough lead time to do it safely.
How many people will be there?+
We hold ten couples — twenty people — and never more. Small numbers are what make this work safe, and what let the team know every couple personally.
What is the group like?+
Adults who are serious about the work. We are not running a party. Expect a wide mix of ages, backgrounds, and reasons for coming.
Is it safe?+
Every participant is medically screened before acceptance. Facilitators are present and awake throughout every ceremony. We maintain emergency protocols and have transport available at all times. That said, this work carries real risk, which we will discuss with you candidly rather than minimize.
