Reclaim Your Erotic Innocence & Embody Erotic Wholeness

📅 August 25–31, 2025 | New Eden, The Netherlands

Limited Places – Application Required

Before shame, performance, or fear… our erotic nature was innocent, curious, alive.

This 7-day, in-person retreat is a powerful invitation to come home to that innocence by meeting the hidden, rejected & denied aspects of your sensuality, eros & sexuality — not in isolation, but in community.

Together, in a trauma-informed, expertly guided space, you’ll embark on a deep dive into your sexual shadow: the parts of your desire, hunger & vitality that have been shamed, silenced, or shut down.

You’ll be held by facilitators Christian Pankhurst & Maanee Chrystal, alongside a team of experienced assistants, live musicians, and a courageous community — creating a field of safety, truth, and deep reclamation.

Through powerful shadow work, embodiment practices, somatic movement, nervous system regulation, circle work & emergent group dynamics, you’ll begin to untangle eros from shame and rediscover what it means to feel fully alive in your body.

This retreat is for those who are already on the path — ready to meet the places inside that still feel numb, ashamed, or locked down.

(Not suitable for those with active, unresolved sexual trauma – see application form.)
