● It is about 90-minutes drive northwards from Berlin and is reachable with public transportation. A shuttle is used to travel the last 10km. We will help you pre-arrange shared shuttles with other participants (this worked very well in our last retreat)

● Are principally open to personally and non-verbally interact and play with strangers including same-gender (while staying in tune with your boundaries)
● Can take responsibility for your own inner state, for expressing your boundaries and are willing to try and resolve arising conflicts between you and others
Durch Eure Erfahrung und Kompetenz auf den Gebieten von Nähe/Distanz/Verbindung/Austausch/Consent/innerer & äußerer Bühne/Dominanz und Hingabe gebt Ihr allen von Anfang an ein beeindruckendes Handwerkszeug in die Hände, mit dem alle sofort in der Lage waren sich direkt in einem sicheren Umfeld auszuprobieren.
So konnte sich jeder mit Respekt und Achtsamkeit für sich selbst und die eigenen Grenzen auf genau das einlassen, was jeweils stimmig war.”

● Dr. Theresa works as a medical doctor and psychotherapist. She is inspired by intersubjectivity, embodiment, opposites and their connection. She loves playfulness and relaxing into the unknown, for instance in contact improvisation dance, yin yoga, shibari rope play, play fight and authentic relating
● Dr. Tom’s research topic started shifting from nuclear interactions to human interactions in 2015 after attending an intimate event by chance. He appreciates the intense aliveness and psychological nakedness available in somatic spaces and enjoys attending and facilitating them with a hint of self-humor and deconstructivity. Some of his favourite thematics are theatre, authentic relating and kink
● Together we are “Daring & Caring”. Since 2019, we have been facilitating sensuality-positive events and retreats, in which we nurture exploration of the self, of the other and of the relational space in-between while questioning taboos around sensuality. In 2022 we started a new adventure of being a family
