Mariel Camilleri Saringer Director - Mysthaven Retreat Centre
Mysthaven Weekend February 17-19, 2006
"I love how totally comfortable you are about talking about genitals and sexuality; you make it very safe for participants to address 'taboo' subjects. I found it very worthwhile being in the course in a conscious and intentional process of improving our sexual life, even though we already have good sex and a high level of intimate exploration. I believe that any couple, no matter how great their relationship is already, could benefit from spending a weekend with you. Now I'm hoping you'll return to Mysthaven for a week!"

John, Finance and Tina, Shaman
July 22-24, 2005 Couples Weekend
"Absolutely saved my marriage! Al and Pala you showed me through your actions and life that passionate monogamy is exciting and enriching. I honestly never knew this before but now I know it and will manifest this reality with my partner. This workshop is life-changing." John
"Never before have I encountered two people so balanced and dedicated to assisting people on the path of sacred sexuality. Al and Pala are genuine and very knowledgeable. When I came to the retreat on Friday evening, it was my last attempt to save my marriage. By Sunday afternoon my husband and I saw first hand that passionate monogamy was indeed possible. Al and Pala created a safe and sacred place to put aside our differences, heal and start loving one another again rather than focus on what wasn't working. We have signed up for the next course at the intermediate level and will seem them again next summer." Tina (Eva Summer Breeze)

"Pala and Al have a genuine presence that results in an environment of comfort and safety and that meets couples where they are at--emotionally and sexually." Lance
"This workshop has provided my partner and I with powerful new ways to connect with one another sexually and spiritually. With these new connections, we have already experienced deep healing of some of the wounds that have inhibited our intimacy. My sense is that as we progress forward now together--with new energy between us--the on-going effects on our relationship will be dramatic." Kelsea

"Best sex we have had in 30 years! The exercises for opening our hearts made this possible (not sex techniques per se, as one would normally assume). And this is even more impressive given that we enrolled in the weekend to celebrate the 30th anniversary of an already wonderful marriage."Carole
"Al and Pala's sensitive and intuitive approach to sexuality, relationships and well being has helped Carole and me to improve an already wonderful 30 year relationship. This was our 30th anniversary present to ourselves. The next 30 should be great." Brendan

Val, Artist and Bill, Entrepreneur
Couples Intro Weekend, March, 2004
Couples Intermediate, June 4-6, 2004
Couples Advanced, July 15-17, 2005
Intro Weekend: "No pressure, Pala and Al are good listeners, able to intuit areas needing help, low key, credible, flexible as to the direction of personal interaction between the participants, yet softly guiding and keeping the program on track.
I liked that you most likely know the positive outcome for most couples, yet you let them discover and own the unfolding of a new way of loving themselves. The world needs so simple yet so powerful a message and guidance!" Val
"Hard to improve on perfection, you made us relax and relate." Bill
Intermediate Weekend: "I can't think of anything that you could do differently that would improve the program. I liked everything: the professionalism, your such real people, natural and incredibly encouraging and guiding in a direct and gentle manner. The Tantric weekend with Al and Pala should be a mandatory program for couples who are prepared to commit to each other for life. It's just so valuable and essential for happiness that people couldn't imagine--until they learn how! Al and Pala deliver you to that place." Val
"Thanks for a truly wonderful experience once again! For anyone that truly wants to invest in their own greatest asset, (themselves), this experience pays great and long term dividends" Bill
Advanced Weekend: "Each weekend (this was number III) provides the fundamental building blocks for personal growth and ongoing development of your spiritual self. It's like a 'tune-up' for your soul, improving every aspect of your self. Consider this one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself." Bill
"In taking these workshops the resulting impact on our relationship and our daily lives is profoundly positive and far reaching. We are day-by-day and minute-by-minute aware and conscious of the knowledge and techniques Al and Pala have bestowed upon us to live our lives in joy and giving." Val

Elizabeth and Trevor
Organic Vegetable Farmers
July 9-11, 2004 Couples Weekend
"The couples weekend was an amazing time of growth for us as individuals and as a couple. It was sincere, nourishing, creative, vulnerable, spiritual, challenging, and full of good food, real conversation, and sacred love. The things we learned/discussed here will continue to enrich all areas of our life for a long, long time."
Follow-up email: "We are still on the 'high' of the weekend, still putting the exercises we learned to use, and still reflecting often about our loving hours spent with you two. Thank you again for doing what you are doing. It is filling a needed lacunae in the world of spirituality. We feel that we are growing so much in these young years of our relationship, and we want so much to share our love. We want to come back already!"
Follow-up Good News!
"We've been wanting to email you for some time now. I'm finally making myself stop what I am doing here at work and do it. (The farm season is over, and so now I'm working at St. Bonaventure University doing various things that keep me in my head and in ideas - very different than farming. Tantra puts me back into my body! The news we wanted to share was that we are with child!!!
Yes, we found out in September - conception happening, we think, on July 31st, the first time Elizabeth would have been fertile after our Tantra weekend. Crazy, huh? I think we shared with you a bit, our efforts and discouragements regarding Elizabeth's cycle. If not, or if memory fails, she went over a year with cycling and then another 6 months. We were trying many things, both conventional and natural medicine-wise. When we moved to NY two years ago, we had the priority of balancing her body and spirit. All done with the hopes of fertility and birth. Well, it happened. She was cycling regularly for the last 5 months, and then when we finally learned to move our love into ecstasy (thanks to some great teachers), our love created another life. Amazing!!
The child should be due in April (around the 23rd). We are hoping to have the child in our home with a midwife. Send good energy our way. Thank you - in advance. We'll let you know the journey.
By the way, we are still practicing our Tantra love, and I must say that our lovemaking time has been more intense, more passionate, more erotic, more vulnerable, more creative, more energizing than ever before. I think that Elizabeth, particularly, has entered her skin in a whole new way -- since our weekend with you and especially since she's been pregnant. She thinks that she is beautiful pregnant (I agree, of course) and very sexy (ditto).
We send all that energy to the baby and to the sacred yoni to do her work when she needs to open wide and let out into our world some new life. We joke back and forth (with layers of seriousness present) about parenthood changing our time together. Any advice? We would love to come to some more weekends (to Costa Rica...). How do those things happen with new demands of a baby? I guess we are on the journey to find out. Our energy is now focused on the new life - filling our new life with our tantra energy.
I hope you had some good weekends following ours and a good, safe, erotic and loving trip to Costra Rica. Happy Holidays as well - after all, the nativity is about God saying "yes" to our flesh, to our bodies, to our sex. Blessings of peace."
Trevor and Elizabeth
Footnote: Elizabeth and Trevor's baby was born on Saturday May 14, 2005, a bouncing baby girl, named Sophia Teva (Nature's Wisdom). Congratulations and great joy!

"I felt safe which enabled me to fully participate. I also liked that Al and Pala talked about their personal experience. Pala and Al provide a safe and inviting space for personal work as well as good exercises and instruction. This was a very sex positive experience." Melody
"Al, keep on sharing your gentle, delightful and loving spirit. Pala, take all of that wonderful lust for life and see if you can make Al's head spin. The weekend was perfect just the way a lover is. It could be different, but it doesn't need to be. It felt very real, honest, intimate and respectful. I loved being here with Melody, and your low key and heartfelt enthusiasm. I had fun. I relaxed the shame right out of my body. Come for the food--stay for the loving." Rodney
