Ars Alkimia Playfight // Ceremonial Tattoo Retreat

Within each of us lives the longing for strength and gentleness, for holding and softening, for action and receptivity to support each other.
And yet, so often we experience imbalance: we must remain strong when we long to soften, or we hold back our strength because it finds no place to be received. This inner tension is not a flaw – it is a sign that the poles within us have not yet found each other. And as within, so in the world: it swings out of balance, then seeks to return, again and again.

There are moments, however, when order is restored – when the inner and the outer world mirror one another.
At the equinox, light and shadow stand in temporary balance. The Sun in Libra calls for harmony, while Mars in Scorpio stirs the deeper forces. This cosmic alignment is a gateway: an opening for the forces within us that once opposed each other to meet – and re-arrange into a new order.

Ars Alkimia is not theory but lived experience: order born from chaos, wholeness born from fragmentation. When the inner poles come into alliance, stability arises – a foundation that not only brings balance within, but radiates into your relationships, your choices, your presence. The tension that once pulled you apart is released – transforming into steadiness, clarity, and liberated energy you carry home into daily life.

🌊 The gateways of the four days
– Playfight – the body’s honest language, where strength and boundaries reveal themselves.
– Sound journey & vocal release – vibrations that dissolve old layers and reconnect you with your own voice.
– Breathwork – an intense inner journey where shadow and light meet.
– Somatic practices – awakening the body’s memory and discovering new resources.
– The five elements – ancient wisdom that restores inner balance through lived experience.
– Women’s and men’s circles – mirrors and spaces where principles recognize each other.
– Sacred tattooing – a permanent mark on the body, if you feel the call.
These four days are not a sequence of activities, but an opportunity: deep work with yourself, in the strength of a conscious, holding community.

🌿 Facilitators

László Simon – Born in the heart of Transylvania, his work weaves painting, carving, jewelry and instrument making, land art, and performance. In recent years he has been called by the ancestral knowledge of traditional tattooing: through his research he revives sacred symbols and healing traditions in the modern world. For him, art is the alchemy of collective energy – where masculine and feminine forces find harmony and new forms are born.

Aina Huber-Nagy – The first to bring the Playfight method to Hungary. Her work focuses on grief and shadow integration, as well as dissolving inner obstacles. She holds spaces where the wisdom of body and heart meet, and where the strength of community supports real transformation. She also studies traditional Chinese medicine and the world of tea, weaving them into her path as tools for inner harmony and presence.

👥 The group size is intentionally limited – because true work unfolds in intimacy.
✨ If you feel the call, this is the moment to step in. The gateway opens on September 22.
