to the heart of their relating

The relationship with our beloved is a spiritual practice

We come to pray with our hands and recognise through the tantras that
our bodies and senses are the embodiments of Reality, expressing

A mystical retreat curated for
the Body of Love

Held by the magical lands of the Grootbos forest, dreamy and alive in its wintery embrace.

This retreat is the quintessence of returning to the mystical quaking of love and intimacy
through TOUCH.

When touching and being touched are devoid of agenda; being expectation, seduction,
wanting, taking, need... we return to the quiet medicine that touch offers.

Traditional tantra reminds us of the meditative nature of the sense of touch, when it
reabsorbs us and returns us to the heart of this moment, all other matters peel away, and
what is left is a body quivering, and a heart throbbing with eros.

Eros is the oracle of truth.

It is the undulating, unfurling essence of existence.

It is our aliveness.

It is the restoration of a heart that loves to love.

The essence of this retreat is to return to this innocent potential within our own selves first,
so that when we come together with our lovers, we are resourced from within and
expanded within our capacity to dance our dynamic in truth and freedom.

The lovers who are being
called into this space:

• Traditional Tantric practice remind us that we are the body of reality. To realize this quality is to indulge in the experience of our humanity. Moving away from any idea of goal and purpose and to exist in this body as it is in truth now: No frills, no performance – just the raw, undulating essence of life expressing and experiencing itself
• Relational and intimacy patterns - This is for the lovers who find themselves stuck in their intimacy yet who desire closeness and truthful connection. When the initial sexual desire and intensity from the beginning of relating has moved on, now there is space for what is real. This shift in sex and desire is a rite of passage and requires us to delve into the deeper, darker waters of our subconscious, which includes the subconscious of our dynamic
• Co-regulation - These practices serve as a soothing balm to the nervous system of our own bodies and the nervous system of the relationship we are in, which is imperative if we want deeper connection, love, intimacy, desire, pleasure, orgasmic states, and truth with our partner
• True intimacy is dysregulating to our system if we have grown up in relationships where drama and intense tensions are what turn us on. We will learn how to re-regulate through the opening of intimacy, expanding our capacity for deeper feeling
• Creating true safety within our own bodies so that we can build more capacity for presence in our relationships
• A desire to enter the mystical realms of tantra through sensuality and touch with our beloveds - this will become your spiritual practice
• Learning to touch with our hearts, and listen with our hands
• Learning to express to our partner what we don’t like or asking for what we need by listening to our body’s true response through their touch
• Clearing out the energetic debris within our fascia and paving new pathways for pleasure, connection, and truth with our partner
• De-armouring body, heart, and mind as a method for tuning in to the love and truth of our relational dynamic
• Holding presence while we re-learn how not to lose ourselves in another
