LIBIDO LOVE OF LIFE 2027
Liberate the vitality of Lifeforce & Love in all areas of your Life

A year-long journey into life force, connection and potential

Four residential retreats exploring different dimensions of life force, eros, sensuality, intimacy, connection and belonging — and the ways these shape our relationship with ourselves, with others and with life.

You can join one retreat or commit to the complete year-long journey. Each module offers its own doorway into embodied exploration, while the continuity of the group allows trust, depth and connection to unfold over time.

Together, the four retreats create a journey from life force and aliveness, through sensation and choice, vulnerability and belonging, and towards intimacy and desire — inviting us to discover new possibilities for living as mature, embodied, sexual, relational and creative human beings.

THE FOUR MODULES

1–4 April 2027 — Libido Fundamentals
Exploring libido as a source of aliveness, creativity, vitality and presence
An embodied journey towards authentic being and living into your potential

1–4 July 2027 — Sense & Consent
Exploring sensation, longing, boundaries, pleasure and choice through the Wheel of Consent
An embodied exploration of receptivity, agency, love and fulfilment

2–5 September 20
27 — Shame & Belonging
Exploring the landscape of shame, vulnerability and belonging
An embodied journey from self-protection towards self-compassion and the freedom to be seen

18–21 November 2027 — Intimacy & Desire
Exploring autonomy, attachment, vulnerability and differentiation
An embodied journey towards authentic relating and the meeting of self and other

HOW WE EXPLORE
* Through Open Floor Embodied Dance, the Wheel of Consent and other embodied awareness practices, as well as open verbal inquiry, breathwork, relational practices, teachings and group process, we explore these themes through the body.
* We bring curiosity and mindfulness to what is alive in us — sensation, impulse, pleasure, vulnerability, attraction, boundaries, connection and the ways we meet ourselves and one another.
* The ongoing group offers a unique opportunity to return, deepen and allow something to unfold over time.
* There is space for intensity and challenge, as well as play, pleasure, rest, nature and simply being together.
* The retreats take place at De Dieken in Holten, surrounded by nature — a beautiful, spacious setting for this year-long exploration.

WHO IS IT FOR?
This year group is open to adults of all genders, sexual orientations and relationship statuses. We strive to co-create an environment that is inclusive, supportive, curious and expansive, and that honours the experiences each person brings into the room.
* It is for people who feel drawn to explore life force, eros, sensuality, intimacy and relationship in an embodied way — not simply through talking or thinking, but through movement, sensation, awareness and lived embodied experience.
* It is for those who want to deepen their connection with themselves and others, become more aware of what moves them, and explore greater freedom in how they experience pleasure, vulnerability, boundaries, connection and choice.
* It is also for people who are curious about the places where they hold back, protect themselves, disconnect or lose touch with their vitality — and who want to discover what becomes possible when they meet these places with curiosity, compassion and courage.
* Some prior experience with conscious movement practices such as Open Floor, 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine, Biodanza or similar is recommended, so that you can fully engage with and deepen the embodied explorations.
* This journey is not about dance technique or performance. You are invited to participate at your own pace, honouring your own boundaries, capacity and sense of choice throughout the retreats.

Further to be announced.

"A strong life force can be seen in physical vitality,
courage, competent judgment, self-mastery, sexual vigor,
and the realization of each person's unique talents and purpose in life.
To maintain a powerful life force,
forget yourself, forget about living and dying,
and bring your full attention into this moment."
- H. E Davey -
