ABOUT THE RETREAT

Although the word libido is most often associated with sexuality, at its core it is a life force –  the passion that moves us, motivates us, and brings us alive. We can channel it into sexuality, relationships, creativity, embodiment, learning, work, spirituality… When libido has multiple pathways, life remains alive.

When healthy channels are blocked, this life energy becomes suppressed, distorted, and eventually emerges as symptoms: anxiety, exhaustion, loss of pleasure and vitality. We stop living and start merely surviving.
Libido is always present within us — we simply need to learn how to access it.

At the retreat, we create space for:

– returning to the body as the primary regulator of vitality

– awakening vitality with pleasure, without forcing or inhibiting

– restoring sensitivity and embodied enjoyment

– contact with self and others without masks

– softening numbness, automatism, and chronic freeze

– permission for joy, tenderness, strength, play, and warmth

– intimacy that is not only sexual

 

We offer six three-hour workshops:

MARIJA RUDIĆ – Life of the Body

MIHAELA RICHTER – Alive in contact

LÁSZLÓ PINTÉR – A living heart

GYÖRGYI SZALÁY – Alive truth, alive action

ENESA MAHIĆ – Eros and life

LÁSZLÓ & ENESA – (A)live²

 

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

This retreat is designed for those who feel they are surviving from weekend to weekend instead of living all seven days of the week. For the tired, tense, frozen – as well as for those longing for more passion, presence, joy, pleasure, nourishing contact, and fertile solitude.

You are also welcome if you are curious about body psychotherapy and want to explore what this approach can offer.
You will experience and practice the principles of body psychotherapy through experiential exercises, dance and somatic work, group support, a little theory and plenty of practice.
