7 days in dominican republic
Laurie and Om are very excited to be offering this retreat version of their world travelled TANTRA meets BDSM course. The retreat format will allow us to create a more immersive and experiential journey that will allow the participants to go deeper in their exploration.
The retreat will offer greater free playtime to students to practice the topics covered in our conversations. Come explore and have an adventure! All people who have done our class before are welcome and invited to join. We will be presenting new material for you to incorporate, and the retreat structure will create opportunities for more experience based learning than was possible in the weekend workshops.
For newcomers, we always start our course from foundational pieces and build up from there. So beginners and beginner minds are most welcome.
COURSE LOCATION & LOGISTICS
The course will take place at Las Canas Beach Retreat.
Located on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, the private beachfront retreat features 10,000 square meters of beachy gardens, creating a picturesque atmosphere

Gender balance & REGISTRATION:
We are going to make a concerted effort to create gender balance in our class, though this is not guaranteed. We are assigning 25 registrations for women and 25 for men. If all the slots get taken, we will have our balance.
We will also have many assistants available to step in and further aid in creating balance.
Please remain flexible in this area.
Couples must register separately. Couples are advised to register early! If all the slots for one gender get filled up, we will not be able to accommodate both registrations for a couple.
Couples can communicate after they register to our course manager about your rooming, and they’ll set you up together.
The installment plans will be available only till May 1, 2026 - so that your second payment may be in before course starts.
