Experiences

Here you can read about

the experiences & journey through the retreat.

What can you expect?
What will you experience?

We start the journey by landing together and first and foremost land into our own body, our needs our boundaries, and feeling into what is alive at the entrance to this adventure.
Then we move into expanding our focus to including the group, the surroundings and the life pulsing in evey moment.

We will land into some practical ground rules for the weekend, before we start engagin with each other through different exercises.

The retreat will be a dynamic journey where we will spend time sensing into and following our inner YES. Everything being presented is an invitation and we encourage you to sense inwards and follow your inner guidandance.

The days will start with different experiences that help us ground into ourselves and into the day, followed by breakfast and our first dive into the material. We pause in the midle of the day for some food and personal time, before we dive deeper in in the afternoon. In the evenings we gather around the fire, in the floating sauna or in temple exploration. There is always the oportunity to opt out and chose personal time and space instead.

We will tailor the program to the group and the flow that is being expressed in the group. We have a maximum of 24 participants, which gives roome for meeting each participant where they are at.

The exercises will be adaptable to different levels of experience.
We will use meditation, tantric exercises, movement, sound, breathwork, touch, exploring and expressing boundaries, exploring the world through our senses.

Common questions and thoughts:

Question: I will be coming together with my partner. Do we have to do exercises with other people?

Answer: Everything is an invitation. Sometimes we might encourage you to do activities with someone you do not know that well because it brings different layers of experience, but you can always choose what feels right for you and your partner. We encourage you to have a talk before you come, to get clear on your expectations towards each other.

Question: What happens if I experience arousal or get an erection?

Answer: On a tantric journey, we grant all emotions and feelings as welcome. When we slow down, will everything that is not given room in everyday life bubble up to the surface. You might experience sorrow, anger, longing, lust, arousal, laughter..and it is all normal and welcome. We are all emotional, sensing beings. To feel arousal and lust is a natural part of being human.
Acting on emotions and impulses is another thing. Your emotions, wether lust, sorrow, anger or joy, are yours, it might not at all be reflected in the other person. Also, there is no room for penetrating sexual encounters in our sessions, but arousal, enjoyment and sensual nourishment is all welcome. Tantra entails how to expand room for all emotions. what happens if we just rest into the wanting, the lust and the need? Not acting on it, but just listening in, feeling, expanding, aknowledging. What happens if I breath the emotions into all the cells of my body?

This is experiences that expand life, our vitality and joy of life, which is part of the goal for our retreat.

Possible experiences

We have created an itinerary and a plan for the retreat that we are very happy with. At the same time, we are very open to listening to what is alive in this particular group and its composition, and choosing exercises and direction that create the most possible security, movement, expansion and enjoyment on all levels. There will therefore always be a dynamic flow between the program and the group, which drives us from exercise to exercise.

Sensing

Various exercises to open your senses and take in life.

In encounter with nature, yourself and others.

Everything is woven from sensory impressions and when we tune into these, we land into the body, into life and into the moment as it is here and now.

And, through that, life opens up anew. Out of stories and patterns, into experience and vitality.

Livskraft

Playing with the life force is one of the most wonderful things we do. It makes us awake, alive, and ready for life.

In play we can meet each other, and in meeting ourselves we can encounter our power, our rawness, our longing and our vulnerability.

Breath

Through breathing we fill ourselves with new life.

Breathing can calm and balance, it can excite, vitalize and bring us into ecstasy.

Breathing can open the body and pave the way for new life,

out of the stuck, the heavy and stiff, into pleasure, liveliness and ecstasy.

Enjoyment

To just give in, into the senses, into surrender to orgasmic breathing, into touch, into the moment - there is so much potential for pleasure, even in the smallest things.

And, in pleasure, the body awakens to life, into its own true nature.

The world takes on colors and textures, we experience liveliness and deep nourishment.

Touch

Touch is a form of communication and a meeting point. In touch, we meet ourselves through the other.

Touch can be nourishing, reassuring, regulating, affirming, playful, and give us peace and pleasure, among other things.

We will explore how touch is experienced in settings where slowness, presence and safety are in focus.

Inner Focus

To turn your gaze inward in contact with yourself, with your breath, with the life that pulsates, with the wisdom and longings of the soul. Just to dive in, to be nourished, to experience deep contact, silence and your own unique essence, to fall in love with your own inner nature.
