A SHADOW SOMATIC INTENSIVE
8-14.12.2025
Transformator Survival Patterns into Presence
power over and under, dominance and submission,
we free ourselves of the unconscious living out of these dynamics in our lives”
Transform Survival Patterns into Empowered Presence
Does any of this sound familiar?
-
You freeze or shut down when confronted with intensity — and then judge yourself for it.
You want to stay present and grounded, but your body takes over, and you feel powerless or ashamed after. You may have trouble speaking up around your boundaries in the moments that matter. -
You crave deeper intimacy or leadership but secretly fear becoming controlling or being controlled.
There’s a deep longing in you — to lead, to open, to surrender, to be truly met. But with that comes a quiet fear: “If I take charge, will I hurt someone?” “If I let go, will I lose myself?” - You’ve done talk therapy or mindset work, but your body still holds tension and defense. You understand your patterns intellectually, but they keep repeating, especially under stress or in sex.
-
You long to test your edges — but don’t know how to do it safely.
You want to explore intensity, boundaries and power in ways that are real, embodied, and held, but have no idea where to start
-
You feel stuck in people-pleasing, collapse or rage — and you’re ready to find a new way.
You’re tired of living from old survival responses, and want to meet life with grounded, honest presence.
You'll be guided through immersive somatic practices, boundary-affirming rituals and nervous system regulation tools that safely activate and transform your survival responses — so you can embody power without domination or collapse.
You’ll be guided through immersive body-based practices, boundary-honoring rituals and introduced to trauma-informed tools that safely engage your survival responses — so you can access deeper states of presence, resilience and integrity
embodied initiation into the truth of your power.
You’re experiencing these problems because…
Our intensive offers a new way: one that works through the body, not around it.
but truly embodying it — without domination, collapse or bypass.
You hesitate to speak your truth in relationships. You pull away when things get vulnerable — or explode when it feels too much.
You find yourself stuck in roles: the over-giver, the avoider, the one who never fully lets go. You second-guess your desires. You shrink from your power — or wield it in ways that don’t feel good. And slowly, the life you could be living — one of clarity, depth, and choice — stays just out of reach. These patterns don’t need a dungeon to play out. They show up in your bedroom, your boardroom, your family, your friendships — quietly shaping everything.
During this workshop, you will:
You won’t just talk about your patterns — you’ll embody new ones.
This workshop works directly with your nervous system through somatic immersion. You won’t be managing triggers with willpower — you’ll be unwinding them from the inside out.You’ll learn how to stay present in intensity without shutting down or blowing up.
Through safely held boundary-pushing rituals, you'll practice staying with sensation, power, and vulnerability — and discover that your system can handle more than it thinks, with softness and skill.You’ll explore real power — not the kind that dominates or submits, but the kind that anchors and leads.
By re-patterning fight, flight, freeze at the source, you’ll stop flipping between collapse and control and start embodying power with clarity, dignity, and choice.You’ll be met, held, and challenged in a rare container designed for nervous system growth.
This is not a retreat for passive learning. It's a curated, high-intensity space for real transformation — where your edge is welcomed, and your body’s truth is the guide.You’ll leave with tools and reference points for lasting change.
This isn’t a high then crash. You’ll walk away with practiced capacity, nervous system literacy, and tangible skills to show up differently in your relationships, sexuality, and leadership.
Join us and reclaim the art of true, embodied power.
Don't miss out!
And when the spots are gone, they’re gone, because we’re holding a real, intimate container.
If this is calling you, trust the timing.
but to guide others through transformation:
from darkness to light
from shame to pleasure
from stagnation into movement.
— making space for self-acceptance, self-love and deep integrity.
Not through force, coercion or control — but through the clarity of Truth,
and the joy of walking beside another as they meet themselves more fully.
It is the natural expression of one who is surrendered to Life — one who has made peace with shadow and leads from the inside out.
And from that honesty, real vulnerability
This is your moment. Claim your spot. Trust the pull.
What you can experience:
The essence of true dominance
Mastery of boundaries and energy
Transforming darkness into light
Deep immersion into Tantric practice
On a deeply visceral level it becomes clear that it is now time, to let go...
...into the freedom and pleasure of total surrender
Not to the one before you,
but to the Infinite, to Love, To Life Itself."
Reclaim your power to choose— not from the mind, but from the body
This intensive offers a ritual container for nervous system reorientation, a healing ground for the parts of you that have waited years to be seen, heard and met with clarity — instead of judgment or silence
You’ll have the opportunity to open your heart to those very places you’ve been taught to hide.
This workshop gives you:
Rewrite what dominance and submission truly mean
If you’ve been silently suffering in patterns of emotional shutdown, confusion around power, or fear of intensity — this is where it ends… And something new begins.
You will learn:
to experience your shadow and true power side, at whatever pace
and depth feels right for you.

Yes – most people come solo.
You don’t need a partner. We work individually, in small groups, and rotating pairs – always with the option to choose.
If you’re coming with a partner, you’ll also have space to experience practices together.
Safety and comfort are the top priorities in all workshops, which is why we always emphasize consensual agreement, discussing and respecting boundaries (e.g., experiencing different types of conscious touch or breath exercises). We make sure that the group consists of an even number of participants and provide a team of supporting assistants who will participate in the exercises if necessary. Of course, all practices are voluntary, and we prioritize the safety and comfort of participants, so you will never be obligated to practice with someone you do not feel comfortable with. Additionally, individuals in pairs will be invited to open up to practicing with others occasionally to experience different qualities (with consensual agreement).
This workshop is facilitated in English. We welcome international participants as well as people from Poland and provide professional translation.
