Wild Binds

✨ WILD BINDS ✨

A Rainforest Retreat for Couples

23–25 October 2026
Sine Cera Rainforest Retreat, Northern NSW

When did you last step away from everyday responsibilities and give your relationship your full attention?

Wild Binds is an immersive weekend for couples who want to deepen their connection, communicate with greater honesty and clarity, and explore new possibilities for intimacy, trust and play.

Set within 200 acres of rainforest, pristine creeks and bushland, this carefully curated retreat offers the opportunity to leave behind the distractions of daily life and focus on one another.

Across the weekend, you will be guided through advanced relational and embodied practices designed to help you understand each other more deeply, express what you truly want, navigate the patterns that create distance, and build greater confidence in communicating your needs, boundaries and desires.

Through conscious communication, tantra, expressive movement, polarity and introductory shibari experiences, you will discover new ways to create presence, trust and connection within your relationship.

No previous experience with tantra or shibari is required. Every experience is invitational and designed to be explored together at a pace that respects each person’s boundaries and the unique dynamic of your relationship.

A Private Rainforest Escape

Wild Binds will be held at Sine Cera Rainforest Retreat in Northern NSW, surrounded by rainforest gullies, pristine creeks and bushland adjoining the Border Ranges National Park.

Between guided sessions, there will be time to rest, walk, reconnect with nature and enjoy uninterrupted space together.

This is more than a romantic weekend away. It is an opportunity to become curious about one another again, deepen the foundations of your partnership and create experiences that continue enriching your relationship long after you return home.

Guided by Amber and Marcus

The retreat will be facilitated by real-life partners Amber Hopkins and Marcus, who have been together for more than eight and a half years.

Their relationship has included an ongoing exploration of conscious partnership, communication, intimacy, trust, power exchange and shibari. Together, they share the lived understanding of what it takes to keep meeting one another with honesty, navigate challenges and continue discovering new dimensions within a long-term relationship.

Amber brings 25 years of experience within the intimacy field and has spent the past decade guiding individuals and couples through communication challenges, emotional patterns, consent, shame, desire, conscious kink and the blocks that can prevent people from feeling fully seen and expressed within their relationships.

Together, Amber and Marcus offer grounded guidance, emotional depth and practical experiences that couples can take home and integrate into everyday life.

Saturday Evening Dining and Shibari Performance

On Saturday evening, guests will be welcomed with champagne and nibbles before coming together for a shared catered dinner.

The evening will include a curated shibari performance by Amber and Marcus, weaving rope, movement and relational dynamics into an intimate exploration of trust, communication, power and connection.

The performance offers guests the opportunity to witness not only the visual beauty of shibari, but also the presence, attunement and communication beneath it.

The Saturday evening dining and performance experience is included in the retreat.

Nature Photoshoot

Each couple will have the opportunity to take part in a nature photoshoot set beside the creek or within the surrounding rainforest landscape.

The experience will focus on capturing authentic connection, presence and intimacy between you and your partner. Couples may choose to incorporate rope into their photographs or keep the experience natural and unbound.

Each couple will receive a selection of images from the photoshoot, with the option to purchase additional professionally edited images or printed photographs.

Further photography details will be shared with participating couples before the retreat.

Nourishing Catered Meals

Catered meals and snacks are included throughout the retreat, allowing you to settle into the experience without needing to plan, cook or leave the venue.

The food will be nourishing and abundant, supporting the weekend’s focus on embodiment, connection and restoration.
