Tantric Body De-armouring Retreat

You can opt to do 5-days of Level I only or you can elect to do the full 9-days – level I & II. If you’ve previously participated in level I or similar with Andrew or Rhianne, then you may participate in the 4-days level II only

Throughout history, many spiritual and religious traditions have advocated for denying, escaping, or transcending the body in pursuit of spiritual elevation. But what if the body is the bridge to higher consciousness? And what if our sexual energy is the conduit to spiritual bliss, abundance, and prosperity?

In this retreat, participants will receive the keys to an awakened existence, amplifying their vibrational frequency. In our supportive sanctuary, participants can shed the armour constraining their true energetic potential and tap into the boundless energy of their sexual life-force.

Through Tantric Body De-armouring (TBD), we address the unresolved tensions and emotional imbalances that limit our vibrational state. Many find themselves caught in a continuous cycle of self-healing. However, TBD provides more than just a pathway to sexual ecstasy and spiritual growth. It offers avenues to autonomy, agency, wellness, relationship vitality, and discovering one’s life purpose. TBD offers a transformative solution, breaking this cycle and lessening the perpetual feeling of needing to ‘heal ourselves’.

In our retreat, we will prime our bodies and vagus nerve in preparation to cultivate high-vibrational bliss states. These states lay the groundwork for accessing expanded realms of consciousness, enabling participants to move beyond victim mentalities and overcome feelings of powerlessness, release deep-seated patterns, enhance brain chemistry, and activate dormant cognitive and intuitive abilities.

Venturing into the expansive realm of personal development, it’s essential to understand that our growth journey is not just an accumulation of experiences. It’s a dance between our conscious intentions and the intricate DNA and genetic code passed down from our ancestors. Tapping into this ancestral wisdom can be a powerful source of resilience, empathy and love. As highlighted in our blog post “Turn On Maximally: A Transgenerational Epigenetic Awakening,” actions taken in transformative environments, like Tantric Body De-armouring, can profoundly influence and positively harness our genetic expression. This interplay, rooted in unlocking the beneficial aspects of our ancestral code, is the magic of epigenetics.

True empowerment springs from a deep awareness and unabridged acceptance of oneself, twinned with the liberty to voice our innermost truths. This retreat is an immersive blend of introspection, exhilaration, and expansion. It’s an odyssey into greater personal liberation, self-realisation, and zest for life.
Open to individuals, couples, and all regardless of gender or sexual orientation, this retreat serves as a portal to uncharted realms of self and unparalleled potentialities. While not designed as a practitioner’s course, many professionals value the unique techniques and perspectives presented.

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬:

• 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚-𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞: At the outset of our event, we’ll institute trauma-aware guidelines and retreat boundaries. Our goal is to ensure that each participant feels completely respected and at ease, moving at a pace that aligns with their individual comfort.
• 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲: We prioritise a pressure-free environment. No participant is obliged to engage in any activity they’re uncomfortable with. Everyone is empowered to determine their level of involvement, ensuring informed consent is always at the forefront.
• 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: While our training encompasses trauma-informed care and informed-consent, we aren’t equipped or accredited to address deep-seated trauma. Those seeking trauma-related healing should consult a certified trauma therapist or medical professional.
• 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: Note that no trauma therapists or medical experts will be present during our event. The purpose of this retreat is educational and recreational. If you have concerns about attending, we advise you to consult with a medical professional to determine if this event is suitable for you.
• 𝐍𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬:
Some activities might offer optional degrees of nudity. However, during our Level 1 retreat, there will be no genital de-armouring. Your personal boundaries will always be held in the highest regard. Whether you choose to participate in nude activities or stay clothed, your choice is wholly respected and welcomed.
