Courage to Love – Tantric Winter Retreat

In Floda (30 min from Göteborg)
with Aurora Georgijevic, Morgan Arundel & team
– for couples & singles

After an AMAZING and TRANSFORMATIVE ECSTATIC summer retreat we invite you for a Transformational Winter Retreat in Floda, this time for discovering and celebrating the Courage to Love, in light, warmth, love and togetherness when nature offers us outer darkness and cold.

Join us for a 6 days life-enriching journey into the world of Love supported by the wisdom teachings & practices of Tantra, guided by highly experienced tantra teachers Aurora & Morgan.

A unique opportunity to share, discover and deepen yourself into new insights and experiences of awakening love.

Escape to a world of serenity and self-discovery at our Tantric Winter Retreat – set against the breathtaking backdrop of a pristine lake and the enchanting beauty of Swedish nature.

Everyone who ever loved deeply knows that true love doesn’t allow you to remain the same. Love has a deeply transforming power upon our entire being. When we e fear and run away from love it is because it asks this from us; to leave behind the old and open up to an adventure into the unknown.

Often we tend to mistake love with the person or situation which triggers it, and in that moment we stop the experience of love and perceive love just as a concept in the mind.

The energy of love is described as an alchemical power that can, with the help of a pure and well-focused mind, turn any poison into nectar. In order to experience the transforming power of love we need to learn how to shift from thinking or mentalizing about love, to deeply and fully EXPERIENCING IT. And the great news is that we do not need anything for this! Just the decision to OPEN!

Love makes a tensed body to relax and open up to pleasure.

Love makes a wounded heart to trust, heal and open again courageously despite any previous hurts.

Love makes the mind a vast and open space, peaceful and visionary.

Love helps us to build bridges and to experience union where there seemed to be only separation and difference.

Love brings meaning to our existence and gives purpose to everything we do.

Love is an energy we cannot force, but which we can learn to open to.

Many people fear love, and then passively close down.

After these days, you will start to understand why keeping your heart open is the safest thing you can do

Love, when it is experienced fully, allows that which seemed to be impossible to suddenly become possible.


Tantra and COURAGE
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones courage” – Anais Nin

The tantric path has always highlighted the importance of courage. Tantra is a deeply transformative path that beneficially challenges our limited views upon ourselves. In order to go beyond our fears we need the attitude of a hero & heroine. Many people do not reflect much on the way the presence or absence of courage affects their life. To live your life fully, you need to enter the heart of courage.

We need courage to be happy

We need courage to have beautiful relationships

We need courage to follow our path

We need courage to FEEL life

We need courage to heal

We need courage to be real and authentic

We need courage to transform

We need courage to be ecstatic

Courage is the real vaccine our world needs urgently. Anyone can become courageous.

During this retreat we will highlight the importance of courage in our life. In times like these, courage is becoming almost as important as the air we breath. Fears are closing so many hearts towards love. Fears make us robotic, reactive, easily triggered and easily controlled by the outside. Every day we can see the effects of fear all around us, in so many ways. But when we learn to understand the role of fear, and the way it manifests in our life we can start to take actions in a different way. Courage is a muscle that we can train like any other.

We will explore the

• Courage to love

• Courage to step into the unknown

• Courage to be vulnerable

• Courage to be really really happy

• Courage to be ecstatic

• Courage to forgive

• Courage to play

• Courage to keep your heart open

• Courage to be intimate

• Courage to accept feedback

• Courage to overcome approval addiction

• Courage to take responsibility for your life

• Courage to accept the impermanence of life

• Courage to keep the light of awareness ON

• Courage as a key to spiritual growth

Our problem is almost never the fear itself, rather the way we relate to fear by avoiding, withdrawing, seeking control, worrying or falling victim to the mistaken belief that things will be okay only after we ́ve annihilated all the anxiety. Yes, fear can be uncomfortable and bewildering, and it can even thwart our most dearly held goals –but it doesn’t have to be so.

This retreat will be a refreshing breeze of inspiration, an impuls towards real change, real transformation in your life – a vitamin boost for your soul. You will get an understanding on how to begin to live your life more openly, and freely and not be conditioned by fears. Because courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear… Your very life!

Dive Into The Magic Play Of Sublime Eros

Tantra is all about awakening. Awakening to life and to the beauty around us, awakening the senses and to the countless facets of joy and superior pleasures, awakening our consciousness in a dauntless lucid abandonment into any opportunity life is offering us, awakening to ourselves and to each other in natural heart presence. Throughout the retreat there will be space to eat, enjoy and laugh together; space to create trust, intimacy and loving connections; and there will be guidance into beautiful meetings & insights in EROS,


LOVE & INTIMACY
A Life Awakening Experience Based On The Science Of Tantra
In this retreat, we aim to create a perfect blend of holiday & transformative heart work, offering you a chance to share knowledge, to open up to the new, to embrace the old, to courageously meet life-transformations, to explore sensuality in the light of full awareness and to surrender to love’s breath-taking gifts of connecting to others and to your inner source of happiness.


Surrender What You Are, To Find What You Could Become

By consciously engaging in the perpetual forces of life, you will have the chance to enter the common energetic field of the community, which we will create together. It will allow you to engage in a playful and spontaneous way in the activities of the retreat, to open up to your inner resources and enhance your vital, sensual and energetic experience, as well as your subtle awareness and feeling of yourself.

If this inspires you and awakens a calling in your heart – you are mostly WELCOME to our Winter Retreat! It will be an open invitation for 6 days of spiritual holiday & heart work in a natural and relaxed unfolding of life’s essence and fullness. We look forward to sharing and unveil the mysteries on how to live our life more juicy, fully and vibrant!


Tantra & Sacred Sensuality

The body is a temple offering us an enormous potential of energetic experiences. We can explore it consciously through a great variety of touch, energy games, sensorial experiences or just a simple lucid awareness upon the breathing. There are infinite ways to awaken through tantra when first you know the basic methodology – we may even call it ‘human technology’.


Tantra & The Heart

At the heart of any spiritual celebration is always the spirit. It is the spiritual heart connection, which truly makes us feel connected. The body, its senses and magnificent aliveness of vibrant energies are offering us a great variety of possibilities to connect with each other and with ourselves, to offer fulfillment to each other and experience fulfilment in our own being, to offer loving presence and to experience love. Our Winter Retreat is an experience happening simultaneously inside and outside ourselves.

For whom is this retreat?
This retreat is open for anyone who wants to learn how to become more intimate and open and authentic in relating to others. Since we are focusing on intimacy as something that begins with YOU, with YOUR openness and willingness, it is very much an individual journey. The retreat is there for open for both singles and open minded couples.

This retreat is for people over 18.

Self responsibility and boundaries
• We encourage 100% self-responsibility

• This retreat is meant for healthy adults (over 18 years) that wish to open up to beautiful transforming experiences and know how to set healthy boundaries. If you suffer from serious mental illness, if you cannot manage your own boundaries, or if you are easily getting too overwhelmed this retreat is not suitable. The retreat can be deeply healing but is not meant as a therapy retreat.

• The teachers and the team aim to do the utmost to create a loving safe space, but it is up to each and everyone to evaluate their own limitations and possibilities and know how to find harmonious participation

• Sensuality and nudity might appear, however participation in any of the parts of the retreat is ALWAYS OPTIONAL and there will not be any explicit erotic interaction in the workshops

• We will apply a special consent form that will be obligatory to fill in online before the retreat begins, with common sense indications regarding a harmonious integration for all participants during the retreat

• Other boundaries must be respected so that everyone can enjoy a beautiful experience

The retreat is designed for both singles & open-minded couples. It is up to the couples to decide the frame of their participation. The entire program and all its activities are guided so that you will meet, mingle and interact with all the other participants. We aim to have an approximately equal number of men and women to create a balanced frame for everybody.

You can come as a single or as a couple. As long as you are open to participating in the common activities you will have a great time.

Spaces for this transformative winter retreat are limited, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to nourish your soul, deepen your connections, and experience the magic of tantra


How to get there?
To reach our wonderful retreat from abroad destination there are different options – you can both fly to Gothenburg , Malmö or even Copenhagen airport!

The retreat location is on the country side, so consider that the trip would consists in changing from flight to trains, but definitely a wonderful view of the Swedish landscape!

What we recommend to reach the location in the smoothest way is to fly to Gothenburg airport. From here you would have two options:

– get a direct Uber (the car trip would take only 30 minutes and cost 30/40 euro which you can share in case you travel together with someone).
– by airport-bus travel to Gothenburg City from the airport and from there by train to Floda Station, which is a smaller town nearby the location.

Sweden is very well connected, so trains and busses departure regularly, and the trip takes in total approximately 1h 15min.

Floda station is about 12 km from the retreat. From here we will arrange 2 pick-ups on the 6th, or alternatively if you do not wish to wait it is very convenient to get an Uber (this would cost about 15 euro).
