Last year’s love hang over…
OR a toast worthy union in 2026?
The choice starts here.

Nosara, Costa Rica

NEW YEARS 2026

♡ A HIGHER LOVE ♡

Over 8 days, 30+ hours of immersive practice, 2 Temple Nights and 1 New Years Eve Party dancing under the stars, you will remember your way back to what love felt like, before it meant hurt.

You have a life most would envy.

So why does LOVE still feel like a cosmic joke?

You’ve built a pretty dreamy life …
but your love life…? it’s kind of a nightmare.

You’re powerful, beautiful, well-resourced, and wildly capable.
You’ve invested in coaches, therapy, tantra, maybe even plant medicine.
And yet—your romantic patterns haven’t changed.
You still feel like a mental strategist, crumb collector, ghost in your own body.

But my dear, love isn’t about effort.
It’s about energetics.
And this ‘effort’ is killing your capacity for love.

Because my dear, love isn’t about effort.
It’s about energetics.

And the armor that built your empire is suffocating your intimacy.

Love is not a skillset. It’s a frequency.

And it’s not your fault your nervous system has never been taught how to hold it!

You don’t need more techniques and talk therapy.
You don’t need to learn how to flirt better or send mysterious texts.
You don’t need astrology and human design (fun though, no judgement)

You need to stop pretending you're okay going into another New Year, alone.

You need to stop outsourcing intimacy to your intellect.
You need to become the version of you who knows how to be chosen.
Not for your résumé.
Not for your performance.
But for your truth.

This is the retreat where you remember that truth.

✧ A HIGHER LOVE RETREAT ✧

8 Days of Heart Opening in Paradise, for SINGLES

You are not here to be ‘fixed’.
You are here to remember.

The you who loved before it was painful.

The you who trusts your body to speak for you.

The you who was built for sacred love, not mental strategy.

Science has proven truth & love as the highest frequencies on the planet. The heart is 60-100x more electromagnetic than the brain.

Just like going to the gym, it takes practice and skill

to hold more authenticity and love.

Together, We Will Gently Step into:

✅ Daily Energetic Re-Orientation
T4ntric based practices designed to reset your nervous system capacity so love doesn’t feel like a threat.

✅ Masculine + Feminine Polarity Training
Not based on gender stereotypes—

this is frequency work rooted in sexual depth and devotion.

✅ Somatic Rituals + Sacred Ceremony
We break the pattern in the body, not just the brain.

Real shifts happen when you feel safe to feel.

✅ Temple Nights + Witnessing Circles
See and be seen in ways that reorient how your body receives your YES and your NO, safely.

✅ Sensual Movement + Stillness
No performing. No proving.

Just you, remembered and reconnected.

✅ Luxury Meets Simplicity
A private resort cocooned in lush Costa Rican sacred land—

we do both bougie & sacred around here.

✅ Flawless Curation
12 men. 12 women.

Each hand-selected for group resonance, emotional maturity, consciousness and readiness to rise.

This Isn’t Just a Retreat.

It’s a Return.

A HIGHER LOVE ♡

NOSARA ♡ NEW YEARS ♡

A HIGHER LOVE ♡ NOSARA ♡ NEW YEARS ♡

You could spend another $25K this New Year’s on an Instagram-able Holiday: VIP dinner, DJ, fireworks, and a perfectly curated class photo with that cutie you kissed at 12... who quickly turned into a pumpkin.

OR...
you could spend 8 days basking with the version of you who no longer questions if real love exists.

The kind of love that doesn't have you writing paragraphs, it has you writing wedding vows.

The kind of love that stays.

Because let’s be honest,

You already know how this goes:

3rd wheeling in a share house with friends who adore you—but secretly ache for your dating choices.
Some luxury wellness retreat that opens your hips, but not your heart.
That “exclusive” NYE party full of beautiful strangers… and not one you’d trust with your truth.

You don’t need more ‘epic access’ and empty mornings.

You need a week that holds everything—
starting with the belief that real, devoted, soul-fire love is actually yours for the claiming.

Here’s the truth:

You built an all access life…
but your love life still feels like the private club you’re banned from.

You’re brilliant, beautiful, resourced, and wildly capable.
You’ve invested in coaching, therapy, maybe even tantra or plant medicine.
And yet, your patterns haven’t changed.

You still feel like a mental strategist and ghost in your own body.

Not because you’re broken.
But because no one ever taught your nervous system how to feel safe being fully seen.

This isn’t about effort.
It’s about energetics.

Love is not a mindset. It’s a frequency.
And your system simply isn’t trained to hold it… yet.

Another New Year’s Eve…

Another party. Overdressed, overhyped, secretly scanning the room for someone who will magically save you.
Another swipe, another “situationship,” another ghost before you even finish a coffee.

You’ve built the career, the lifestyle, the enviable status — but when it comes to love, it’s still:

Chemistry with no safety.
“Good on paper” that fizzles by February.
Mastering the Cool Girl or High Value Bro role — while hiding 98% of who you really are.
Knowing your patterns, but repeating them because it feels safer than going all in on a risk… (again)
SO YOU STAY IN THE SAFE LANE
CYCLING THE SAME PAIN
AND MY FRIEND, THIS CAN BE THE
NEW YEAR, WHERE THE CYCLE STOPS.
FOR GOOD.
YOU ARE CURRENTLY:
- Addicted to chaos disguised as chemistry
- Confusing anxiety for attraction
- Performing confidence and feeling unworthy
- Protecting your heart at all costs
- Successful everywhere but love
YOU IN 2026 AFTER A HIGHER LOVE:
- Attracting calm consciousness and chemistry
- Recognizing secure as sexy
- Embodying authentic confidence
- Having an open heart with discernment
- Your success amplified by love, not drained by it

NOW IN IT’S 6th YEAR…
Stefanie Marco has over 25 years of practice in these ancient spiritual sciences and sxxual yogas.

SCIENCE HAS PROVEN: TRUTH & LOVE ARE THE MOST POWERFUL FREQUENCIES ON THE PLANET

So many of us can hear this phrase, but only associate it with pain or pleasure, not being ‘hateful’, validation seeking, short sexual stints, bids for affection, lustful swaying of endless dualistic mental cycles, of being good or bad, winning or losing, hot or not, predator or prey. This is what many of us experience as ‘love’.

Distorted patterns of madness, addiction and impulsivity destroy our lives and our loved ones. Maybe you are in a state of defeat or nearly giving up right now. Maybe you have always found love to be a struggle.

What if because love and truth are the most powerful energies on the planet, we actually have to acknowledge that they take some real skills, practices and conditionings to master, if we are going to become skillful?
Similar to going to a gym, learning a martial art or wielding a sword, our bodies, hearts and nervous systems MUST fully adjust, and to get good at training for greater expertise.
What if there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with you whatsoever for not having tools for love, because you were never or barely shown unconditional love? I was exactly where you are, for YEARS.

If love was modeled to you like it was to me growing up, it was a manipulation, even violent, mistrustful, painful, strategic, anxious and transactional interaction based on bending oneself to be pleasing, or shutting down to be protected. Knowing how to love skillfully through these models may allude you. And you are not alone! I’ve spent 25 years curating these practices and putting them to use in my own life. This retreat is now in its 7th installment and 6th year, it has helped hundreds of people, many of whom meet their special person and even return to do this retreat over again and again.

We have all been deeply hurt in love. We have all created behaviors, masks and personas to 'get love'. There is no shame in this, but the game can end here.

The variety of ways we turn away from love, and the escaping mechanisms we create from our lack of consciousness and practiced reactions, often creates the exact environments, circumstances and mindsets that keep love from reaching us and from becoming our natural reality.
Our fears, resentments, masks, validation seeking, grasping and narratives are all armors to prevent our opening in love and allowing it to catch fire for decades instead of fading. Keeping us juvenile not only in sex and love, but in our relationships with money, time, energy, focus and everything we create. The potency of this energy goes way beyond sxx.

The truth is, the presence of real love brings to the surface all of the most unlovable parts of ourselves to be witnessed and healed and given LOVE TO, not shamed.

Maybe you have felt rejected or abandoned in the past and maybe you have already done some or a lot of healing, but turning this healing and spiritual work into deeply nourishing sexual pleasure and hotness!? Well now, that's a WHOLE other story :)

Relating and creating relationships which can consistently retain their passion amidst the ebbs and flows of life take an entirely other skillset!

Your love life can withstand a lifetime with one person and generate more heat with your healing as time passes.
And if you are single, reorienting your mindset and confidence in this way will make you highly discerning and sxxually magnetic. You will not allow just anyone into your sacred love. You will walk with a grounded container in a frequency of warmth and power, instead of leaking energy.

If you are single we first begin by practicing self love as the basis of our ability to offer a safe, deep and intimately alive partnership. This is the foundation of every relationship we have.

Those who can't go deep, go wide. Many false teachings, tell us to be polyamorous, move our energy around, play and explore widely and laterally. And while everyone is free to do as they please and we must experiment to know who we are, ultimately this leaking and sucking of empty sxxualized experiences will l take its gloves off and smack you around. I’ve seen it.

This way of interacting with our sexuality is often called Tantra but is actually not Tantra at all. True, mature, love and Tantra teaches us to revere our bodies as sacred, to actually refrain from promiscuity and to devote love to another as a prayer and spiritual path of God consciousness as a way of reaching enlightenment. It is another form of Brahmacharya. When you devote yourself to honoring yourself and (eventually) another, this is the highest spiritual work we can do. And it all starts with you.
Forgive yourself and learn how to see your perceived 'defects' and desires as gifts of new awareness, hold more capacity to be seen as your true divine innocent self, see others with purity rather than as objects, to stop people pleasing, listen and feel what your body's intelligence is saying, stop grasping to your habitual impulses that distract your purpose and become a leader of love and truth on this planet.

The world needs you! Call in your highest partnership, learn how to keep the space between yourself and your partner clean and honest in ways that heal you and also heat you both up.

Learn to build a fire that warms your life, feels powerfully honest and doesn't burn your house down.

In this Group Immersion we will journey deeper into our hearts, learning and practicing the step by step principles of awareness, sensitivity, equanimity, love, trust, polarity, devotion and desire. Bringing these aspects into our nervous systems with self and others in an innocent and powerful experience that you wish someone had given you back in High School!

Learn to hold more love without running away, sabotaging, drowning in resentments or dampening the fire.

Become a master of love.
Now in its 6th year, I have been called to go deeper by offering a SINGLES ONLY extended journey.
This gentle yet powerful awakening is a 8 Day transformation in the tropical surf paradise of Nosara, Costa Rica.
We opens participants to explore the our energetic and subconscious material in much more depth. Our first 3 days have AM and PM sessions with a 3 hour off site break for lunch. New Years Eve morning there is a KAP activation followed by an intimate dinner and NEW YEAR’S EVE DANCE PARTY in Nosara. New Years Day is FREE for you to explore and relax. The final day we will resume with a morning and evening Temple Finale exploring more advanced 2 body practices.
On this immersive journey, we gently uncover and heal what has been blocking true love as we get to explore the real you, your most powerful desires, through the gentle opening of your heart.
When reflected and celebrated in the light of a kind, confidential and conscious minded community, there is no greater experience of oneness.
Over the first 3 Days, we are in a process of deep purification. We create a safe, fun and potent healing container to support an intimate space for men & women to have deep conversations, potent exercises & build true communion on each other’s journey. We learn the basis of Sacred Union & monogamous devotion through the lens of 22 years of Tantric studies with guide Stefanie Marco. afternoon free time for reflection, nature, beach time and integration. Our evening Temple events are where we go deeper into receiving transmissions and intimacy practices that explore the sacred erotic art of sxxual polarity, unconditional loving and erotic innocence.
ALL EXERCISES ARE OPTIONAL
Do you feel stuck in a role in your relationships or in life?
(Nice Guy/Tough Guy or Nice Girl/Boss Girl)
Do you feel like there has to be more to sxx?

Are you wanting your passion to increase rather than to fade away in your partnership?

Do you feel like there is a wall inside or outside or of you in intimacy that you can’t seem to break down or out of?

Are you ready to free yourself from impulsive or destructive behaviors in romance and sxx?

Are you ready to be loved in the fullness of who really you are instead of hiding behind a “mask”?

Do you have a great life but romance is the one thing that isn’t coming together for you?

I have been where you are. Sleeping next to a stranger who was once a deeply connected partner and lover. Feeling like there is something wrong with who I am and that love would never find me. I have dated the narcissists, I have been ghosted, I have treated good partners poorly and I have spent my life healing the patterns I learned to survive ‘'love”.
Now I have helped countless clients to release themselves from cycles of desperation and shame, to find passion that grows and grows instead of drifting away into resentments or roommate friendships with no fire left in their dynamic.
Are you ready to turn your healing into hotness!??
Welcome yourself into this sacred and gentle journey, Stefanie will guide participants through philosophies, concepts, practices and exercises that explore the foundational principles of monogamous, Divine Sacred Union, with :

- Meditations

- Conscious Relating Practices

- Bonding & Intimacy Games & Exercises

SINGLES ONLY

YOU DO NOT NEED A RELATIONSHIP TO LEARN LOVE! ...REALLY!!

** All exercises are optional. Confidentiality is upheld and collectively honored. Your ‘NO’ is welcomed and supported here.

** WHILE I SUPPORT THE USE OF PSYCHEDELICS BY THOSE GIVEN PERMISSION TO SERVE, THIS IS NOT A PLANT MEDICINE JOURNEY this is a sober retreat exploring the medicine of your heart and body’s wisdom. KAP, breath work and ancient ceremonies are the sources of our own deeply transformative and naturally psychedelic experiences and connections to infinite wisdom that is already living inside of you!
The magical energy of Nosara has been a holy initiator of LOVE as her identity. Nosara it is said was a Royal Indigenous Princess, who abandoned her title and wealth to follow her true divine soul mate to his land. Many still feel and speak of her as a fierce warrior priestess of the heart, a spirit that still lives in her lands and awakens us to our truest potential.
Costa Rica Wellness Spa has a rich history of blessings by the indigenous family who still occupy the land. The previous owner of this space guided healing through the potent sacred medicine of Iboga. The current owner has continued to support addiction recovery and its root cause by hosting sober retreats such as mine.
The property is set on lush jungle hilltops and overlooks the sunset over Ostional Beach and the Pacific Ocean. 5 luxury rooms and 4 shared rooms converge with an open dining room and kitchen adorned with hammocks which extend to a dipping pool, hot tub, cold plunge and 700 square foot hand built wooden yoga shala. The grounds also hold a sacred Temescal for sweat lodge ceremonies, permaculture garden and trails to explore a nearby waterfall.
The area is just outside of the famous Guiones Beach surf town and a quick 12 minute drive.

NOSARA COSTA RICA

Your guide: Stef Marco

Stefanie Marco is a Native New Yorker who grew up surrounded by violence. As a child, some of her earliest memories were that of having profound experiences of “consciousness” that went well beyond words. Frequently feeling like a pawn by her feuding divorced parents, she spent much of her life seeking escape through creative expression, music, nightlife status, luxury brand building, to eventually reuniting her path with God. Not as a religion, as a deeply healing relationship and return to innocence.

At age 19 she began studying Wing Chun Kung Fu and principles of the Tao. This lead her to travel around the world seeking knowledge and vast certifications and initiations in various Tantric and spiritual mystery teachings including: Classical Kashmir Shivaism of Kaula Trika lineages, Kundalini, Tibetan Buddhism, Western Mysticism and many Christ consciousness based non dual teachings. Stefanie is a Level 4 Kundalini Awakening Practitioner of multiple lineages including nearly 2 years spent with Bhagavan Shri Shanmukha Anantha Natha initiated Kaula Trika Shaktipat, Taoist Tantra with Mantak Chia, practitioner training in Inner Dance kap. Naga lineage and the improved Kundalini Awakening Process as taught by Tao Semko and originated by Dr. Glenn J. Morris.

Now in its 7th edition and 6th year, A HIGHER LOVE leads participants into the remembrance of their authenticity as love and offers ground breaking and accessible contemplative Tantric based lectures, met with approachable quantum tools that quickly transform one’s own spiritual connection and an ability to embody creative and deeply intimate sexuality, with self and another. She welcomes you onto this journey into Sacred Union and your highest human potential. This Great Awakening you have been called for, is a purpose driven chance to share your individual gifts with the world, through your heart’s medicine. Welcome home.
