Practice & Play
4 days of cultivating heart centered presence, conscious practice and restorative inquiry,
where everything belongs.
an invitation to drop in, deepen, and get into contact with our own precious suchness of human experience - through conscious practice and embodied play.
Classical Tantra & Vedic Philosophy
a philosophical approach paired with tecniques and strategies of revalation, recognition, rememberance - of the nature of reality and life itself as ever connected, evolving, expressive awareness.
Restorative Inquiry
an invitation to meet ourselves as whole, with loving curiosity and abundant welcome to unfold, inviting change and transformation to evolve from that whole rather than define it.
Play
a state of mind and a form of practice - of cultivating curiosity and detaching from outcome.
Play here does not (only) serve as a euphemism for sexuality.
Sex & Intimacy
While this retreat does not center sexuality, it is offered to folks with some experience or at least awareness of sex positive culture & consent culture.
Expressions of pleasure, intimacy, sensuality and eros are seen as integrated into our motivations, desires, choices and overall human-ness.
We’ll meet at the beautiful Seminarhaus Spitzmühle for our retreat, with its newly constructed main hall with view of the (likely frozen) lake, sauna, hot tub, and luxuries of nature around.

yes. sexuality, eroticism and pleasure are welcome here as part of the abundant expression of being human. it will be up to the group and the emergent topic how much space it will occupy on the program, while focusing on the intention of shared conscious practice.
this retreat is not a Temple Weekend
