Over dit evenement
Welcome to the second edition of The Esoteric Eros!
Are you ready to step beyond? If you feel the call to move past convention—to explore Eros and expanded consciousness within a ceremonial, psychedelic temple space—then this is your invitation. Welcome to The Esoteric Eros, where transformation awaits.
Join us October 22–23 for a two-day immersive retreat that weaves together psychedelics, intimacy, surrender, and sacred ceremony. This is a living laboratory—a sacred container where Eros meets altered states of awareness, grounded always in safety and care.
⫸ The Journey: A Two-Day Descent into the Self
Guided by Andy, George, and Chiara, this retreat gathers an intimate circle of courageous souls—open to all expressions of gender and sexuality.
We begin with a pre-retreat online gathering one week before the ceremony, where we prepare, connect, and set intention.
On the first day, we will slowly drop into our bodies and into connection with one another. Trust, presence, and relational safety will be our foundation.
Together, we’ll learn the sacred dance of surrender and agency—of letting go, offering oneself, and honoring the ever-present wisdom of our own boundaries. This is not about losing oneself, but about rediscovering yourself in relation to the other.
Each participant enters either solo or with a partner and commits to shared agreements—clear, mutual, and held by the group.
For one evening, you are invited to place your consent in the hands of a trusted Guardian—a guide who will hold your safety as you step into a space beyond control, beyond time.
As night falls, we open the temple space with a ceremonial truffle tea, and step into an initiation of Eros.
Throughout the ceremony, you may be invited into ritual encounters with archetypal embodiments of Eros, portrayed by the Guardians:
• The Loving Mother
• The Dangerous Seductress
• The Strict Dominatrix
• The Innocent Trickster
You are always free to say no. Your sovereignty remains sacred.
The ceremony is wrapped in a ritual framework, with energetic closures before and after to support integration and containment.
We conclude with a half-day of reflection, grounding, and group integration—and two additional online gatherings in the weeks that follow to help bring this experience home to your daily life.
⫸ The Guardian: Consent Reimagined
This retreat introduces a radical yet sacred approach to consent. Each participant is paired with a Guardian—a trained space-holder who will:
• Conduct a pre-ceremony interview to explore your intentions, history, and boundaries.
• Be your watchful companion throughout the night.
• Intervene or remove you from any interaction that feels misaligned with your safety or expressed desires.
This model is designed to hold you deeply, while empowering you to surrender within a trusted structure.
⫸ Who This Is For
This is not an entry-level event. You’re welcome here if you:
• Are experienced with psychedelics and feel grounded navigating altered states.
• Have participated in sex-positive or intimacy-based spaces, and understand your own desires and boundaries.
• Are ready to reach outward—toward others—rather than journeying inward alone.
• Feel called to explore surrender, trust, sensuality, and empowered self-expression.
Come relax. Come smooch. Come play. Come watch.
All genders, bodies, and orientations are welcome.
This is a space where you are allowed to be expressed and celebrated, to explore with consent and the watchful eye of the guardians.
⫸You’re not welcome here:
- We actively stand for inclusion. This means that in the event no racism, discrimination, misogyny, ableism, or shaming of bodies, sexualities, gender etc are tolerated. If this is something you cannot commit to, this is not your community.
- If you are looking for easy sex. You won’t find it here.
⫸ This Experience is For You If:
• You long to meet your sensual, empowered self in a sacred and guided space.
• You are ready to surrender to life and the unknown.
• You want to feel what it means to truly trust another.
• You want to know what it means to fully trust yourself.

⫸ THE FACILITATORS
👑 ANDY
Andy, at the most basic level, works with bodies. In the present moment. Inviting them to participate in a new experience that may transcend into the spiritual.
His modalities include conscious and consensual sadomasochism, esoteric eroticism, Japanese rope bondage, European theatre studies, medical massage therapy, and neuro-somatic teamwork, each representing an important period of my life.
But most importantly, He believes in dedication to ‘the way’. The way of being. In Japanese, it is dō. Over the years, he has studied sado, the way of tea; kado, the way of flowers; and aikido, the way of directing energy while in motio. It’s the same way walked in the many Eastern mystery schools. But don’t worry, my dear unknown friend, it’s fundamentally ritual and practical, and you probably won’t notice unless you want to.
He left my ordinary career about ten years ago to walk a simpler life. Now He travels based on an agenda curated by a handful of lovely retreat organisers around Europe and a demanding make-believe family in the Japanese countryside.
