Dearest Family
This will be a 3 day initiatory experience and workshop for couples and singles on how to both heal and awaken through the art and beauty of relationships in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland.
This workshop was born out of a deeply felt need to unite the worlds of personal healing and Tantra into one coherent and clear path. Shadow work, inner child work, embodied polarity practice, trauma release, and relationship therapy all come together as a foundation for genuine harmony, healing, and authentic awakening in relationships.
We will share with you proven methods and practices to work with and take care of each other’s nervous systems, integrate your psychological shadows, heal emotional wounds, and open to Spirit in a safe, practical way together. This workshop is open to couples and singles, with no previous experience required.
In our perspective, the personal and spiritual dimensions must be understood simultaneously to manifest an authentic, lasting unfolding of compassion, love, and true spiritual intimacy.
In this workshop we will bring light and clarity to the questions:
-
Why do I keep running into triggers, patterns of intense conflict or sexual stagnancy, or wanting to run away from intimacy?
-
Where do these triggers come from, and how can I heal them to experience the love I’ve always wanted?
-
How can I create spirals of healing and deepening in love instead of cycles of conflict, further wounding, and re-traumatization?
-
How can we authentically walk the spiritual path together without bypassing emotional wounding and trauma
And much more ..
We hope to have you with us on this journey to re-writing the story of what true beauty and lasting love can look like in intimate relationships. By healing the relationship to ourselves, we heal each other, our past, our future and this Earth.
Pillars of Our Work
Embodied Practice
Tantra
Relationship Therapy
Shadow Work
We will explore and experience what it means to truly embody our most powerful masc/fem qualities, our most vulnerable emotions and psychological shadows to create depth, transparency, openness and evoke love in ourselves and our partners.
We will use traditional Tantric rituals, meditations and practices as a way to awaken to the essence of who we are, control our sexual energy for the purpose of amplifying love and worship each other as expressions of the sacred masculine and feminine.
We use practical, embodied and proven modalities of relationship therapy and psychotherapy that support the healing of trauma and childhood wounding, harmonize communication and that give couples the tools do inner healing work individually as well as together.
We will explore the hidden, disconnected and undesirable parts of our psyche and learn how to embody and integrate them in ourselves, in our relationships, and love making in a healthy and safe way so that no part of us is left unacknowledged.

Through the deep fire of her heart, her unwavering dedication to the spiritual path and an aspiration to heal herself she spent months in deep practice, including long periods of fasting, extensive dark retreats, and other intensive yogic disciplines. Through her persistence and dedication, her symptoms of the disease began to lessen until they completely disappeared, a miracle by western medical thinking.
