Relationship Alchemy · April 2027 · Samaná
Expand on your own.
Deepen together.
A sacred medicine journey built for a quantum leap in your relationship. Each of you expands on your own ground, then you bring it home through ceremony, workshops, and time together away from everything. Ten private rooms in the jungle above the ocean.
April 20–30, 2027 · 4, 7 or 11 days · from $2,297 per couple · 3½ hours from NYC
The Invitation
Intimacy starts
with you.
Sometimes nothing is wrong. Life just got full, and the connection went quiet. The calendars, the work, the kids. Partners can love each other deeply and still drift into running a life side by side.
Most of us were taught that intimacy is something we build together. It is. But it starts earlier than that. You can only meet someone as deeply as you’ve met yourself.
Nothing is missing. More is available.
This journey is built around that. Each of you expands on your own, in ceremony. You come home to yourself a little more honestly. Then you bring that back into your relationship, with days of rest, play, and time together to let it become something deeper. Whatever shape your relationship takes, the work is the same.
Not a tune-up. A quantum leap.
Between ceremonies, the days are full of workshops and exercises built to move you: fun, reverent, expansive, and sensual. Laughter and depth in the same afternoon.
The Work · Aligned Intimacy
Expand. Deepen. Align.
01
Sovereignty
Expand on your own ground
Ceremony, held by our resident Maestro, is your own. Each of you goes inward individually, toward what you've outgrown and what's ready to open. Expansion starts there, one person at a time.
02
Self-Intimacy
Meet yourself more honestly
The stories we tell ourselves create our reality, and the ones about love are some of the oldest we carry. As they loosen, you get closer to who you actually are, what you want, and what you're ready to offer.
03
Aligned Intimacy
Deepen your connection
Then you bring it home. Revan, Azaya, and Sharon Marie Scott lead the workshops and relationship work: honest conversation, presence, and playful practices of connection, so what each of you found has somewhere to live between you. Dani Brooks leads group integration throughout, and Revan and Azaya meet with you privately before you arrive and within 30 days after you're home.
Why Sacred Medicine
Why people come to this work together
Most people who come to us together have already read the books, done the weekends, and had the talk — many times. What they were missing wasn’t information. It was a way underneath it.
It gets underneath the story
Sacred medicine offers a way beneath the stories and protections that talking alone rarely reaches, including the ones two people build around each other without ever deciding to.
Each of you goes first
The work starts with you, not your partner. What comes up in ceremony is met as your own, so it stops being projected onto the person across from you.
Then you meet each other there
The days after ceremony are open and honest. That openness is where the relationship work happens, and where connection stops being an idea and becomes something you feel.

And Between the Work
The most beautiful place you’ll ever fall for each other again
Sunrise from your balcony. Swims at the waterfall. Long dinners by lantern light. Days with nowhere to be but next to each other.
Held by a Couple
We don’t teach this from a textbook
Revan & Azaya Vega · Co-Founders of ZÁRIA
We’ve been together for twenty-five years. In 2021, we turned to sacred medicine to heal our marriage, and what we found was bigger than healing. It’s helped each of us expand on our own, as sovereign individuals. And every time one of us expands, our connection gets deeper.
One of the biggest things we’ve learned is that it’s the stories we tell ourselves that hold us back from where we want to be. The stories we tell ourselves create our reality, and that’s especially true in a relationship. The more intimate we’ve gotten with ourselves, the more intimate we’ve been able to get with each other. It doesn’t matter if you’re married or in another kind of intimate relationship. That part doesn’t change.
Helping people expand, individually and together, is our passion. This journey is our offer to anyone in relationship who’s ready for a quantum leap. We believe deeply in what’s possible inside the right container, in an expanded state.
That’s why we interview everyone before they come, and meet with you privately again within 30 days after you’re home.
Sharon Marie Scott
Relationship Alchemist
Sharon is one of our own personal mentors, and we’re bringing her to ZÁRIA to work with our guests. She’s the founder of Life Turned On, co-creator with Revan of an embodied approach to Human Design, and the author of Forbidden Alchemy and Flesh & Flame. After two decades as a storyteller in comics, games, and film, she turned her lens inward — and now guides people to experience desire, devotion, and presence as something sacred.

Who This Is For
A quantum leap, not a rescue.
Relationship Alchemy is for relationships that are working and ready for a quantum leap. It isn’t built to repair one that’s breaking. If yours is in a harder season, we’d honestly point you to a skilled therapist first, and we’d love to welcome you here when you’re ready.
This is for you if…
- ✦You're in a relationship you love. Maybe it's gone a little quiet, maybe it's already good. Either way, you're ready for a quantum leap.
- ✦Nothing is wrong. You want more: more depth, more presence, more play, more time together.
- ✦You're curious about who each of you is becoming, and what's possible between you.
- ✦You're each choosing this. Nobody is being talked into it.
- ✦You're ready to do your own work, not fix someone else.
This isn’t for…
- —Relationships on the brink, or on the edge of ending.
- —Partners who are deciding whether to stay together.
- —Anyone hoping a retreat will save the relationship.
- —Relationships in the middle of a crisis, like a recent betrayal or a separation underway.
- —Anyone coming to fix their partner, or because a partner insisted.
- —Any relationship with safety concerns, control, or abuse.
- —Anyone looking for couples therapy or crisis counseling. That deserves a skilled therapist, first.
Every partner is screened individually on the screening call. If it isn’t the right time, we’ll tell you honestly, and no deposit is ever taken before then.
Questions
Before you apply
Is this a relationship retreat or a medicine retreat?+
Both, and that's the point. It's a sacred medicine retreat designed for people in relationship: ceremony for each of you to do your own inner work, and guided relationship work between ceremonies to bring what you find back into your connection.
Is this therapy?+
No. This is for relationships that are working and ready for more. It's ceremonial and relational work held by an experienced team, not a substitute for clinical care. If a relationship is in crisis, a skilled therapist is the right first step.
Does each of us need to apply?+
One of you submits the application for your relationship. You join the screening call together, and each partner is screened individually — medications and health history included — before we confirm your place.
What happens in ceremony?+
We walk through everything in detail on your screening call: what the ceremonies involve, how they're held, and how to prepare. Every guest is personally screened, and facilitators are present and awake throughout every ceremony.
Do we need experience?+
No. People come at every stage — first-timers and those with years of practice. Readiness and honesty on the screening call matter far more than experience.
Why only ten rooms?+
Because small is what makes deep work safe, and it's what lets our team know everyone personally. Every relationship has its own private room, and there are ten rooms. That's the whole circle.
How does payment work?+
All prices are in USD per couple (two guests), for the full retreat. The Jungle Loft upgrade is $250 per couple for the entire stay. You apply, then interview with us. Once you're approved, you reserve your room with a deposit — by Zelle with no fee, or by credit card with a 5% processing fee on the deposit. The balance is paid in cash when you arrive. Have an offer code? Apply it during your application to see your total before submitting.
