Love, Conflict & Conscious Choice

Applied Astrology for Real Relationships – Understanding You, Me, and How We All Get Along

Over the past retreats, we’ve explored the many faces of Love through astrology — discovering our love languages with Venus, our emotional needs through the Moon, and our healing journeys with Chiron.

This February, we continue the journey with two powerful guides: Mars and Mercury — planets that shape how love moves through us when things feel tender, challenging, or real.

While the themes we explore are meaningful and sometimes deep, the way we travel is gentle, human, and joyful.

This retreat is held in a spirit of warmth, friendship, and play — with space for laughter, delicious food, movement, rest, walks in nature, and celebration. We gather not to “fix” ourselves, but to explore and understand ourselves more kindly and lovingly, together.

To fall in love, again, with our wonderful selves.

Why Mars & Mercury?

Mars shows us how love acts.
How we assert ourselves, set boundaries, express desire, protect what matters, or pull away when we feel threatened and our love is tested.

Mercury shows us how love is understood and communicated.
How we make sense of our experience, how we think, speak and listen, how we name needs, repair misunderstandings, and bridge our inner and outer worlds.

Together, Mars and Mercury reveal how conflict, communication, and choice shape our relationships — and how moments of tension can become doorways to clarity, intimacy, and connection rather than distance.

What this retreat is about

At its heart, this is still a Love (re)Treat.

It is about the path of love — love for yourself, for life, and for the people you meet along the way. And it is about understanding how love is lived not only through tenderness, but also through action, truth, desire, and choice.

In this retreat, we explore Love through Mars and Mercury.

We gently look at the inner dynamics often called the victim, perpetrator, and rescuer — not as heavy or shameful labels, but as learned responses that once helped us survive and protect love.

Through astrology, reflection, self-encounters and embodied practices, we explore:

• how you meet conflict in relationships and within yourself

• how your relationship to anger, power, boundaries, and desire has been shaped

• how thought, language, and communication can soften or escalate tension

• how to distinguish real experiences of harm from limiting inner patterns that keep repeating

• how to move from automatic reactions to conscious, heart-led choices

Conflict, communication, and choice are not separate from love —
they are love in motion.

How we’ll journey

Our days are woven from many textures, creating a sense of ease, safety, and belonging:

• Applied astrology and personal chart exploration

• gentle yoga, breathwork, and meditation

• movement, play, celebration and embodied inquiry

• walks in nature, shared meals, rest, and downtime

• optional self-encounters (through Franz Ruppert's IoPT method) for deeper inner exploration of unconscious dynamics

There is time to dance, to be still, to laugh, and simply to be together.
This retreat is as much about feeling held, nourished, and connected as it is about insight.
