The Heart
Eye gazing, authentic relating, tantric breath, nervous-system attunement and tea-and-truth telling. Gentle, deeply moving, and often surprisingly fun.
Welcome to a world most people have no idea exists, where romance is real, your souls stir, and the deepest parts of you are seen in ways you didn't know were possible.

This path isn't for the faint of heart. It's for the courageous ones, couples willing to put their whole hearts on the line for a love of a lifetime.
Romantic Endeavors is an experience, not therapy and not coaching. Through guided ritual, breath, presence and connection practices, I create a private sanctuary where the two of you can slow down, open up and fall into each other again.
Every retreat is bespoke and held for one couple at a time. Things can go as slowly or as quickly as you wish.
Turning fantasy into reality, by building it.
Rekindle the spark that first drew you together
Refresh how you listen, speak and touch
Discover what else is possible between you
Play, curiosity and sensation at your own pace
Move from closeness into true union
Every retreat weaves these layers together, shaped entirely around the two of you and what feels right in the moment.

Eye gazing, authentic relating, tantric breath, nervous-system attunement and tea-and-truth telling. Gentle, deeply moving, and often surprisingly fun.

Candlelit sensory journeys, a blindfolded lovers' table and new languages of touch. Playful, immersive and delightfully disarming.

Ceremony, devotion and the most intimate expressions of your love, guided with reverence and care. Details are shared privately during your consultation.
Each retreat is fully custom designed. These are the shapes they most often take. Your intake call shapes the rest.

A romantic odyssey crafted to ignite passion, deepen connection and awaken the senses.
Most TransformativeTime to truly slow down, release what's been carried, and build something new together.

The most memorable retreat of your lives, in a destination of your dreams.
Destination retreats also include my travel and accommodation.
What opens during a retreat is meant to keep growing. Ongoing integration support helps you carry your rituals, practices and new ways of relating into everyday life.

Retreats unfold wherever your love story wants to go: an island, a European city, a mountain hideaway, or close to home. Based in Denver, I'm often flown in to meet couples wherever they are.

I'm Nicole Marie Rose, and I personally guide every Romantic Endeavor. My role is simple: I hold the space, and the two of you deepen with each other.
Letting someone into your relationship in this way can be incredibly vulnerable. For some couples it's fun and easy, and for others it's a tender process far beyond reason. Either way, I'm here to care for you every step of the way, from our first call to long after you return home.
Always remember, this journey is for you.
"Nicole is a masterful space holder. Her tenderness, ability to communicate with love and understanding, to listen free of judgement… is second to none. My wife and I have never felt so held by someone else, and our love for each other was amplified five fold."
B.B., 40
"Euphoric, like a drug you never want to come down from."
Husband & wife, early 40s
"What we have seems bigger, open and more expansive. We are more sensitive, vulnerable in our communication and aware of each other… We created a beautiful temple with her expertise and brought it back home with us."
Joyce & Steve, 64 & 70
"Everything about the experience — from the thoughtfulness and care you put into rearranging and decorating the room, to the exercises we did together in the beginning, to your calming, welcoming, beautiful energy — was amazing. At no point did either of us ever feel anything but seen, accepted, encouraged."
Husband & wife, early 40s
"[Nicole Marie] has a clear mastery of channeling energy, breathwork, and the physical. Yet, this deep knowledge and experience doesn't get in the way of her beautiful soul. She is a genuine loving person who makes you feel comfortable with, not in spite of, your vulnerability."

"It felt expansive. It was a powerful experience to be immersed within your loving space… as if I was feeling all the different forms of love I have ever experienced, all at the same time."

"I notice I have had a much more intense and connected relationship with my wife since just our first conversation over the phone."

Learn the rituals, presence and skillful touch behind every Romantic Endeavor, and how to hold others with safety, consent and deep care.
Explore the AcademyThis work is for couples who are already in an honest connection. If there are secrets, unspoken truths or major hurts you haven't worked through, please begin with a counselor first. They will come up as barriers to intimacy.
Imagine holding your beloved's gaze for five minutes while keeping something from them. You can't. That's the beauty of this work, and why honesty has to come first.
The invitation: take this time fully off, from work, from other people and from screens.
Neither. Romantic Endeavors is an experience: guided rituals and connection exercises that bring you into presence, romance and pleasure with each other. If you're working through something that needs clinical support, I'm happy to suggest trusted counselors to begin with.
Please begin with a counselor first. Unspoken truths and unresolved hurts will rise up as barriers to intimacy. When you're in an honest place together, this work can take you somewhere extraordinary.
Anywhere in the world. Kaua'i and Europe are favorites, and I'm based in Denver. For destination retreats, my travel and accommodation are added to your investment.

Completely. Your details are never shared, nothing is photographed, and every retreat is held for one couple at a time.
Send a private inquiry below. We'll schedule an in-depth intake call to understand where you are as a couple and design the experience that fits.
