This is a couple retreat - a day for you and your partner to slow down, reconnect, and spend meaningful time together.
We’ll start the morning side by side with gentle breathing and stretching, then bring the focus back to the body - connecting through touch and learning simple massage techniques you can bring into everyday life.
Through guided partner practices, you’ll share a relaxed, playful space with other couples - opening up, having fun, and deepening your connection along the way.
We’ll also move into guided conversations, creating space to express the appreciation that’s often left unsaid. Then, enjoy a quiet meal together by the windows, taking in the forest and simply being present with each other.
In the afternoon, we’ll explore trust through blindfolded movement, and end with a moment of silent eye gazing - seeing each other in a new way.
A day to unwind, reconnect, and head home feeling softer and more connected.
Bring your partner! We’d love to have you join us :)

Space
Nestled in the mountains of Wulai, Fusen Banzhi rests quietly beside the forest — a hidden retreat often wrapped in mist.
Surrounded by lush greenery and fresh mountain air, the space carries the gentle sounds of nature - birdsong, rustling leaves, flowing water — a melody that welcomes you home.
“You can feel the forest breathe here.” Follow the moss-covered steps and winding paths to a space where you can release the weight of daily life and simply be.
Time moves slower here, giving your heart a chance to return to calm and stillness.
*Note: The venue includes stairways. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via our official LINE account (@soulbarn).
Nourish
Surrounded by mountains and forests, Fusen Banzhi Trio takes inspiration from indigenous food culture, bringing early foraging memories and the simple flavors of nature onto the table. We choose seasonal, local ingredients in their most natural form, and with gentle, thoughtful cooking, each dish shows a bit of the land’s personality—filled with the scent of the forest and a touch of sunlight.
As you sit with nature all around you, your body and mind naturally soften, daily stress loosens its grip, and what’s left is a sense of lightness that feels quietly nourishing.

Retreat Includes
Breathing Techniques and Relaxing Stretch
Through breathwork, we return to the present moment. With gentle awareness practices and guided meditation, we gradually quiet the mind, reconnect with the body, and create a steady, nurturing inner space.
Deep Relaxation: Couple's Massage
Deep Listening and Conversation
Emotions aren’t right or wrong—they’re simply inner messages waiting to be understood. With guided support, learn to recognize emotional signals, observe without judgment, and deepen your awareness of personal patterns and responses.
Eye Gazing Practice: Silent Bonding and Connections
We all experience emotional highs and lows, but behind these waves lies a subtle, often overlooked rhythm.
Blindfolded Movement
Blindfolded, trust your partner's lead. Let your body move freely in the dark.
Sharing Circle
Freely share and deeply listen to each other's stories.
