About the retreat
Shame rules deeper than laws.
It whispers inside us what is right or wrong, too much or not enough - and keeps us from being fully seen. In this three-day journey with Andy Buru, we turn toward shame instead of hiding it. Through conscious, consensual play we transform judgment into intimacy, fear into curiosity, and exposure into beauty.
Expect a blend of erotic ritual, psychological depth, and embodied practice.
We meet our edges through movement, voice, bondage, and witnessing - learning to hold ourselves and one another in that delicate space between humiliation and devotion, pain and pleasure, pride and surrender.
This is not therapy, yet it may touch your soul.
This is not performance, yet it may feel like art.
This is Shame - elegant, confronting, and profoundly human.
