Body Love Tantra retreat with Mia Lehndal

This retreat is an inquiry into the universal love that is lingering within all of us. Often below the surface, sometimes a bit hidden, only shining through in our brightest moments. What if it is there all the time? We might just be too busy to notice…

During these days we will explore how this universal love can guide us in our relating with ourselves and others. How it can flow in our verbal and non-verbal communication and our physical and non-physical love making. It always starts with you primarily meeting yourself and secondarily meeting others. Because when you are deeply connected with yourself you will be more authentic and have something real to offer. Not coming from a position of pleasing or pure lust, but from the deep being that you are, from love and abundance.

Tantra is an ancient wisdom path that invites us to live our lives fully in each moment. This path is not asking us to detach from our bodies but to fully engage with our bodies. Not to withdraw from life but to fully engage with life. Not to watch and observe, but to fully surrender into the experience of life, with awareness, to discover the non-duality of it all.

Tantra also gives guidance for sexual interaction where we are so collectively lost in modern society. This retreat is an invitation to be sensual and sexual in a safe context by deeply feeling the subtle sensations that are continuously generated by the body. These subtleties are so easily overlooked in our everyday life where we are often driven by habitual ways of expressing ourselves, not least as sexual beings. We will be exploring the bodies natural way of moving in a relaxed and effortless way that gives us the feeling of surfing the waves of life and receive whatever is coming with an open heart.

No previous experience is necessary. However if you have previous experience of tantra this retreat is likely to deepen your journey into more subtle layers of experiencing yourself and others. A soft tantra yoga practice that everyone can participate in will be part of the retreat.

It is mainly a clothes on tantra retreat (with maybe a few exceptions by your own choice). The level of intimacy will be decided by your own boundaries and it is an important part of the retreat to explore and be clear with those boundaries. There will be guidance around that to make everyone feel safe in this delicate context. You will not be asked to do anything you do not want to and everyone’s integrity is respected. If you sign up as a couple you can choose to do all exercises together.
