REBECCA FRANCES

Usually, we tend to squeeze relaxing activities into our free time. We schedule yoga sessions, drive to the sauna, and force ourselves to read a book or meditate. Yet we still feel stressed. Perhaps the key is simply to do nothing. Let’s immerse ourselves in relaxation.

Maybe the sex in your relationship has become less passionate, a bit stale, or predictable. Maybe your body has changed—due to aging, stress, or having children—and intimacy feels unfamiliar. Maybe you’re used to the intensity of fleeting encounters, and “making love” seems to be missing something. Or maybe you’re just curious about what else there is to discover…

Are you unhappy with your sex life? Perfect! Because problems* can be a blessing and reveal something valuable to you—if you’ll just stop trying to get rid of them right away! When we listen to them, magic happens. In this workshop, our problems transform into our muses. Without sugarcoating anything, they inspire us to experience intimacy differently: more harmoniously, more connected, more freely. A weekend for individuals, couples, polycules, or friends (and more). This way, for a loving life—and a love life—that goes far beyond sex :)

A retreat in the mountains, featuring massage, movement, breathwork, theater, and discussion—inspiration for soft, sensual, and intimate bodywork encounters. Using tantra massage as a springboard into the awkward, complex world of human relationships, we welcome you to TWAPOS.

*No matter what gender was assigned to you at birth, no matter what chromosomes or genitals you have. If you don't identify as a woman but were assigned female at birth, you are also very welcome.

A weekend for women, lesbians, inter, trans, non-binary, and agender people. This way, for a loving life / love life that goes far beyond sex :)

Would you like to do something together? Get closer (again), nurture your bond, break out of stale routines, or have fun that feels meaningful? In our daily lives, we often lack the time and ideas to do so. Don’t despair! We’ve put together two carefully planned days where you’ll explore, in a playful and hands-on way, what it means to be in a relationship.

Do you need a break from sex? Do you feel uninterested, bored, or frustrated? Are you (or are you wondering if you are) asexual? Or is it just not worth the trouble? Abstinence could be like fasting, detoxing, or going on strike. Or like coming home. Or it could be incredibly exciting to resist temptation. Whatever the perspective—could there be abundance in abstinence?

An evening for tantric practitioners exploring the joy, the juice, and the sometimes itchy truths of this profession.

When was the last time someone really paid attention to your mouth... during a massage? Physically, the mouth and face are teeming with nerve endings and sensitivity. Socially, the face carries a lot of emotional weight. We use it to communicate, we try to control it, and some of us cover it with makeup and/or styled facial hair. And our mouth is this fascinating gateway to our inner self, a deliciously wet cave with…

Bodies…what can they do? Bring your body to us and we’ll find out. Using tantra massage as a springboard into the awkward, complex world of human relationships, we help you expand your physical awareness. This intense form of intimacy—a massage technique performed and received in the nude—holds so much human potential. This luxurious experience gives equal attention to every part of the body, creating space for whatever arises.  With care and attention, we guide you through movement and meditative sessions that bring you into closer contact with yourself. From there, with humility and humor, we ask the question: is today’s erogenous zone your eyelashes or your ears, your feet or your asshole? Do you need a break or a debate, a hug or a slap in the face?  

Intimacy that breaks free from set patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative, and unpredictable—that’s what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In the (AN)OTHER INTIMACY workshops, we want to embark on this adventure! The SENSORY EXPLORATIONS course is dedicated to the sensuality of our bodies—seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting. We’ll move through the weekend in these five modes, guided by the concept of the beginner’s mind, which refers to an inner attitude of openness, curiosity, and the soothing absence of preconceptions or judgments. Together, we rediscover our senses, as if we were experiencing the fabulous...

What we call “tantric massage” in the modern West deserves to be dusted off and decluttered so it can shine with fresh brilliance. Because we want those luxuriously long, deep, sensually oily, warm caresses and the orgasmic sensations throughout the entire body—without the simplistic talk of male and female “energies.” We want to bathe in radically tender joy, to be touched with full presence in a held space…

Oh, life! Welcome back. We went through something like hibernation. Carefully, we now blink our eyes, stretch our limbs, crawl out of our nests, and dare to slowly open ourselves up to a new world. This is exciting. And overwhelming. And a fascinating chance to reinvent ourselves. Where do we begin? Why not at the beginning: it all started with your breath and your senses. Feeling, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting. As fundamental as they are, they tend to be taken for granted. But once we give them our full attention, they generate powerful visceral pleasures and…
