Being Intimate Retreat

BEING INTIMATE RETREAT - MAKE LOVE TO YOURSELF, TO LIFE & NATURE 💚🌿


Inspired by Tantric & Shamanic Rituals, Erotic Ecology, Music Medicine, Temple nights, Food Art and much more....


💚🌿 Imagine a full weekend immersed in Nature guided by deep, fun & embodied practices at a luscious & wild location in Nature in a Heartcentered, Loving & Caring Tribe, who love to celebrate Life in all its colours 💚🌿


Feel welcome at this beautiful get away Nature Retreat where you will get exactly what you need, while being nourished on all layers of your being.


A sacred, safe and playful space where we remember how it is to experience:


A life lived in full connection with yourself.
with nature.
with each other.
with Spirit.

And to make LOVE with yourself, with Nature and all of Life 💚🌿

During this intimate weekend, you are invited on a journey into the rawness & realness of your Being supported by Nature’s power & intelligence. Together we explore the fullness & aliveness that comes with being intimate with yourself, with Nature and all of Life. By diving deep within and connecting with our core through our Body Temple - our inner power & erotic nature - and shredding the layers of who we think we are.

Through rituals in Nature.
Through transformational Tantric & Shamanic practices.
Through the Art of Healing through food.
Through the Medicine of Music & Movement
Through fun, deep & juicy Temple nights.
and through just fully BEING immersed in the beauty & subtle aliveness of Nature.


We are born as sexual beings, coming from the core of nature which is inherently sexual. We truly believe once we start opening up all parts of ourselves - and include our (repressed) sexuality & shadows and drop layers of shame around our beautiful pure bodies, we can remember the creative life force moving through us.

In this weekend, we love to invite you to remember that blissful essence you already are.

From our pure and raw inner connection we spiral outwards to find that true meeting point with one another. Where life’s magic comes through. Which happens when we meet in our authentic truth, learn to listen to our most heartfelt desires, and have the courage to truly meet ourselves. Beyond what you perhaps once believed you were and is still keeping you small - connecting you to the blissful essence of your being.

Ultimately discovering the joy & expansion of being intimate with ourselves and simultaneously with all we meet as a reflection of what is alive in our external world.

We can't wait to experience life in its fulness and to remember the art of living in ecstacy with you!

⫸ PROGRAM

During this intimate weekend you will be totally immersed in nature to awaken to your own wise, wild and raw nature. You will be guided through embodiment & intimacy practices & rituals where you get to meet yourself and from there your other soul brothers and sisters, friends, lovers, partners (or anything in between;). Where you will be invited to meet from soul to soul and move beyond your personal stories & backgrounds.

Imagine a little holiday where you will get exactly what you need, while being nourished on all layers of your being.

During the day there will be a combination of embodiment practices & rituals to deepen your connection, be in nature, swim in the natural lake or enjoy the sauna and in the evenings (Saturday & Sunday) we will remember and celebrate the Ecstacy of Living and being alive with two Temple nights.

An open space for practicing love, intimacy & the art of authentic expression.

The Temple Nights are here for you to explore Heart centered connection.
To deepen your connection & be intimate with all that is alive.
A safe space to explore and express your desires.
To discover and honor your boundaries.
To open the body, allowing spirit to come through.
To go beyond the mind, and to melt into oneness.
To remember the ecstasy of living
and enjoy the pleasure of BEING alive!
