Eros is life force energy and, like creativity, our birthright.
​
On this immersion we give space to ignite, reclaim and celebrate Eros to bring joy, pleasure and vitality to our lives- whether you are single or in partnership(s).
Maybe Eros is in full flow for you, or it has been laying dormant for a while- or even a long time.
Whatever place you find yourself in, you are so welcome to join us on this retreat to harness the potency of snake medicine & Eros in this time of spring.
We will be working with powerful tools, snake medicine and the energies of Beltane, awakening and igniting eros in our lives...
Weaving with our Kundalini, tapping into our coiled energy and encouraging it to unfurl. Breathwork, conscious kink and shamanic journeying are part of the toolkit- what has been bound, we can gently unwind and unbind…
Beltane is a fire festival and we will work with the energy of fire in lots of exciting ways, including fire rituals to ignite eros.
Taking inspiration from mythology, psychology and Tarot we explore erotic archetypes that might have a significance in your life- imagine getting your Medusa on, or your Sacred Slut/ Temple Whore, Siren, Horned God, Femme Fatale, Hermaphroditus, Lilith...
Will co-create a tailored ritual, plus we'll have an evening of Beltane fire ceremony and celebration, rounding off with feasting and toasting with mead.
​
‘Now you are stirring,
you are moving underneath my skin,
a murmur rushing in on my breath, gathering momentum,
awakening yourself through my body and through loving mirrors around me'

The snake is a powerful symbol of sexuality, renewal, vitality and health, and snake medicine speaks volumes about our primal ability to heal, renew and restore.
From these master teachers, we can learn how to shed old layers, outworn beliefs, patterns, trauma and ways of being:
“Shed what no longer serves you,
and receive the goodness that is aching to find you…”
Why Snake Medicine?
During the retreat, we’ll connect with the magic of snake medicine through many forms including movement, breathwork, shamanic journeying, a fire ritual plus temple and Beltane-inspired practises.
There is also time to rest and restore energy – with the sea close by, sauna and sacred fire. There’s delicious food and brews throughout for deep nourishment.
Each person will receive a tailored ritual, envisioned and inspired by an inner journey and supported by the energy field of the group.
It can comprise of potent tools such as a fire massage, needle ritual, affirming touch and we will work closely with Eva’s Royal Python Syd.
As we are a small group of four participants and us, we can hone in on what’s needed for each one, as we usher in reclamation & celebration at this potent Beltane time.
The teachings of the snake priestess temples of ancient Greece are the backbone of this deep work.
Eva and Bayari bring their combined love of snakes and The Temple, plus their skills, knowledge, holding and magic to this special retreat. Join in the magic and mystery and celebrate your Eros.
We cannot wait to share this unique offering with you!
