Details of this retreat
In this retreat, "Metamorphosis of the Heart," Tantra transcends theory to become a lived experience. Through the profound, soulful movement of Tango and the grounding wisdom of yoga, breathwork, and Ayurveda, you will journey from fear to freedom, from concealment to authenticity, and from numbness to vibrant aliveness.
This transformative experience isn't about becoming someone else—it's about returning home to your body, your truth, and your heart.
Each day unfolds around a carefully crafted theme, deepening your metamorphosis journey:
Day 1 – The Call (Air Element)
Arrival, release, and creating your sacred cocoon
Day 2 – Shedding the Old Skin (Earth Element)
Purification, embodiment, and courageously facing fear
Day 3 – Inside the Cocoon (Water Element)
Inner alchemy, profound stillness, and emotional liberation
Day 4 – Cracking Open (Fire Element)
Awakening, authentic truth, and ecstatic connection
Day 5 – Wings Unfolding (Akasha/Ether Element)
Emergence, integration, and celebration of your authentic self
Day 6 – Liberation & Sacred Farewell
