The PleasureFWRD Immersion
A two-day retreat for couples
Two days that change the way you come home to each other.
The Immersion is a private two-day couples retreat in Chicago— Somatic desire work, AIRE ancient baths, couples massage, a Michelin-level diner, and an afternoon on a private charter on Lake Michigan. Limited to six couples. Founding rates are now open.
From Saturday morning arrival to Sunday afternoon departure. Every element of the immersion is sequenced intentionally- to take you somewhere you can’t get on a regular weekend no matter how nice the hotel is.
At the center of the retreat is a private one-hour somatic core desire integration session with Mayra Chaidez —
held inside AIRE while your bodies are warm and the noise of your lives is already far away.
This is the work that gives the entire weekend its depth and direction.
Three couples per cohort.
Every guest is personally invited or referred.
What happens inside The Immersion stays inside it — and goes home with you.
"Go deep on Saturday. Emerge on Sunday. Carry it home."
The Retreat Experience
Here is exactly what happens across the two days.
Day One — Arrive. Go inward.
-
Couples arrive independently to The Hoxton.
Your room has been prepared — a handwritten note from Mayra, a lit candle, and your weekend guide on weighted card stock.
The afternoon is yours. Rest, walk, be together.
-
Most couples know what they want intellectually. Fewer have learned to feel it — to locate desire in the body, speak it without apology, and receive it without flinching.
Somatic core desire integration works below the narrative. Through guided body-based practices, couples identify desires that live beneath performance and habit — the ones that, when honored, reanimate a relationship.
This is not therapy. It is embodied exploration, held with care, precision,and deep respect for each couple's pace and privacy.

About Mayra—
Mayra Chaidez is the founder of PleasureFWRD and a somatic embodiment guide working with high-achieving couples and individuals navigating intimacy, desire, and relationships.
Her work sits at the intersection of the body, desire, and relational depth —helping people move out of the mind and into lived experience, so that intimacy becomes something felt, not just thought about.
She founded PleasureFWRD because she kept seeing the same thing: accomplished people who had built everything — the career, the partnership, the life — and still felt a hunger they couldn't name. Her work goes beneath the surface. Using body-based practices rooted in somatic psychology, Mayra helps couples locate what they actually want — not what they think they should want — and find the language and the courage to ask for it.
She has worked with couples across Chicago and beyond. The Immersion is her most immersive offering — a full two days where she is present, available, and fully focused on your cohort.
This is not a group therapy session. It is not a workshop where you sit in chairs and process. It is an experience — felt in the body, lived in real time, and carried home.
“The body knows what it wants long before the mind gives it permission. This work is simply leearning to listen- together”
-Mayra Chaidez, Founder of PleasureFWRD
