Come join us for an epic journey of revival and awakening!
Over the last few years, our retreats have sold out in a very short time, In the last years nearly half of the places got taken within a few days of publishing the event. This tells us something. That these retreats manage to touch an essential yearning and longing in the heart of people. Because we all long for life, we all have a longing to be fully present and awake in this precious life we are given, and we suffer when we are not. This is our calling and mission – to support everyone who wishes to awaken, to find back to the joy of life that is interwoven into our hearts.
Kama Summer Retreat is about self-knowledge and awakening. Knowing and discovering ourselves at a deeper level. Awakening to life and to the beauty around us, awakening the senses and to the countless facets of joy and superior pleasures, awakening our consciousness in a dauntless lucid abandonment into any opportunity life is offering us, awakening to ourselves and to each other in natural heart presence. Throughout the 7 days, there will be space to meet heart-to-heart, enjoy and laugh together, and space to create trust, intimacy, and loving connections. There will be guidance into beautiful meetings & insights into the tantric teachings.
In this retreat, we aim to create a perfect blend of holiday & heart work. The retreat offers a chance to share knowledge, to open up to the new, to embrace the old, to courageously meet life transformations, to explore sensuality in the light of full awareness, and to surrender to love’s breath-taking gifts of connecting to others and to your inner source of happiness.
Transformative Intimacy – the play between Eros & Amor
This summer retreat will playfully and seriously dive into the mysteries of intimacy
To create an understanding of what intimacy is, feels like. How it moves through our bodies and hearts. How it creates a link to the essence of life. Intimacy is deepend by the energies of eros and love. Love opens us, creates trust, builds bridges, makes us safe and fills us with meaning. Eros is the fuel that empowers our love and gives us courage to expand beyond our safety, beyond our comfort zones where we find aliveness
Eros and love are the two forces that build the foundation of intimacy
Initiation into pure EROS
If you lack erotic appetite or you shut that part of yourself down, then it will also be difficult for you to muster much gusto and juicy enjoyment for the rest of your life.
If we are able to be fully present, connected, joyful, open, relaxed, loving, free, and creative, if we are able to take initiative, to be empathic and self-giving, to be free of shame and inhibitions and to make our hearts ecstatic in our erotic life – then we are that very same person in daily life.
Life becomes an open field of possibilities and everything we want it to be
In all the spiritual erotic teachings, pleasure itself has never been the goal of erotic experiences. Tantric, Taoist, and Kama Sutra masters were instead attaining inner freedom, profound self-knowledge, and ecstatic union with the divine through mastership over the immense potential of the erotic energies.
During the retreat you will learn to connect to EROS as a force of life, that is liberating, uplifting, inspiring, and enriching you! We will learn to discover our own inner erotic expression in a safe and gentle way, to find the heart of our erotic being, moving beyond old patterns, routines, shame, and pains, and instead find ourselves reborn through the nourishing energies of sacred pure eros.
Sacred Art
Our retreats are always integrating many artistic elements, both in the teachings and workshops, and also encouraging participants to find their creative expression. Poetry, dance, sublime music, and beautiful decorations that enchant the soul are interwoven into the entire program which creates a special atmosphere of unearthly wonders and delights. In tantra, art was always integrated as a tool that helps to anchor the senses to the present moment and transport us to higher states of consciousness. This year we will let our bodies, senses, and hearts to be touched by many different artistic elements in order to trigger states of elevation, alchemy, and lucid awakening.
