Surrendered Liberation
A Tantric journey of Unfurling
Koh Phangan
JANUARY 20-27
A Soul-Nourishing immersion for Tantrikas who like it deep & slow
This retreat is for those who long for a deeper, slower-paced container where we can explore our relationship to our bodies, the earth and other beings with devotion, tenderness and authenticity.
You’ve done all the workshops. You’ve been on the ‘personal development’ train for a while and you’re starting to get a bit tired of all the fixing, doing, changing and ‘growth’ that has you feeling a short-term high but feeling burnt out after a while
You know that jumping container-to-container chasing peak experiences of ecstasy isn’t what you need anymore, but you also know the potent alchemy that happens in these immersive spaces with likeminded community, and you crave a space with depth and heart where you can explore, create deep soul-mate kind of connections and revel at the mystery with others who 'get it'.
The mystics and seekers always feel that call to go deeper, but constantly chasing highs and being in spaces of intensity can deplete us. Constantly chasing shadows, trying to ‘heal’ or find the next peak experience isn’t sustainable or what our souls truly need sometimes.
What is next, when the sparkling high of those containers dulls?
When your spiritual heart still longs for community but you’re finding a lot of these workshops and events a little… boring?
What’s next when you’ve done so much personal work that you’re kinda tired of chasing your shadow or trying to get something from your spirituality?
Perhaps, beloved, it’s time to surrender a little deeper.
Perhaps, it’s time to embrace the simple perfection of being over doing.
To move beyond the personal focus and into being a vessel for love on this planet.
To soften into the embrace of the divine thats available in each simple perfect moment when we slow down enough to really listen.
To start to allow life to be poetry, to fall in love with this perfectly imperfect moment…
To explore with an open heart and curious mind what it is to be a human on this Earth, part of something bigger than ‘Me’.
One, yet unique.
A vessel for your unique flavour of love.
We'll be holding this experience as an emergent field with some structures and ideas planted, but a lot of space to flow with the aliveness of the group and what is needed most as we dive in together- to allow the group wisdom and creative genius to express through us as we surrender to life together.
This is an invitation to come home to the Perfection of you, right here, right now...
...and let us truly feel and see each other as we dive in to the mystery together.
Core Themes we'll Explore together
We're inspired to welcome these themes into the container as part of this journey, with practices, rituals and inquiries surrounding these fascets over our week together. We may not have specific activities for each one of these, but they'll be weaved in or addressed if they're feeling most alive in the field
Tribal Wounds & Belonging:
An invitation into this collective wound that is part of our systemic trauma, the water that we don’t know we are swimming in. Find your own unique place within this disconnection of the earth community, find your place in the web of life
Embodying Love in the Everyday:
Continuing and deepening our commitment live from the heart, making conscious love a devotional daily practice.
Authentic Expression:
Who are we beyond our conditioning? How can we come into deeper connection with the truth of each moment?
Embodied Relating :
Relational Healing:
Where are we holding fears, projections and trauma around relationship and love, and how can we bring so much compassion, attunement and presence that we can come into healing.
Somatic Trauma Resolution:
Spiritual Awakening:
Diving into the Tantric tradition's perspectives on Awakening to our infinite nature and it's relationship to our unique personality and self.
The Power of Grace:
Whether divine Grace is delivered in a way that feels good, or it's delivered as Fierce Grace, what is it that offers us the opportunity to become liberated?
Devotional relating:
What is it to love beyond projections, meeting our individual needs and trauma-patterns? How can we truly show up for love in the way our soul craves?
Trance States & Goddess Worship:
Enter altered states of consciousness, connecting with the fundamental lifeforce and power of creation
Deep Eros & Erotic Mysticism:
What happens when we go slow enough to feel it all? Connecting to the sensual and erotic current of life beyond conditioned sexuality and feeling into the pulse of creation from deep within.
Integrated Expansion:
Move beyond the chase for peak experiences, grounding in sustained, everyday joy.
Ecological Reverence:
Coming into ever deepening relationship with the planet, giving back, giving gratitude and appreciation for our great mother earth.
The Great Turning and Sacred Activism
Align with the Great Turning, the shift towards a life-sustaining, Earth-honouring relationship with this planet.
Our Values
Authenticity
Breaking out of ideas of how a spiritual person should look, act, dress or be- we shed the masks and honour each unique being as they are. We aim to create a space that honours however we are at that point in time and whatever we are moving through.
Attunement and somatic safety
Our desire is to create a coherent and attuned space together where we slow down enough to not only feel ourselves but feel others deeply, creating a felt sense of safety where we can surrender deeper into the support of the group. We are calling in participants who have experience in embodiment and spiritual spaces and are able to show up for this intention- not seeking and forcing intense experiences but appreciating the quality that can come from deep presence and attunement amongst a community.
Liberation
Our work is focused on freeing people from conditioning placed on them by society and our upbringings to find out innate truth and wisdom. We are here to support your liberation and allow you full, authentic, loving heart to shine in this world.
Inclusivity
All genders, sexualities, races, abilities and relationship styles are welcome to join if you feel the call and align with our values. Our team endeavours to support each participant with their unique needs and create a harmonious group field. Please reach out if you're not sure
Environment
We embrace our jungle nature environment as one of our teachers, as well as prioritising serving vegan and locally sourced food.

You'll go on a journey that includes body, mind and soul- coming into deeper intimacy with life and our authentic essence.
You'll find new ways to relate to the challenges in your life and on the planet, feel inspired and nourished and ready to keep radiating your unique essence into this world.
What is the Schedule?
We know how some 'retreats' can feel quite exhausting with long workshop hours and little integration time.
We'll be inviting luscious long lunch breaks where you can nap, connect with others, explore or read, some evenings free with sauna access at the retreat center and open plan space to connect, some half-day explorations where we'll go to the beach and waterfalls and do some rituals and practices in nature and optional morning practices (so if you prefer to sleep in, you can!)
Between that, you can expect a morning and afternoon session, some being circle work and some embodied practice or dance spaces, and evening rituals.
This is for you...
This retreat is aimed at people who have been exploring the embodiment and spiritual world for some time already and are looking for a deep and nourishing space to dive into the mystery of existence together.
We will not be going into 101 workshop-style talks on foundational concepts and the focus will be more experiential and ritualistic. If you're looking for a more beginner-friendly introduction to Tantra type retreat, please check out the Sensual Arts Retreat
This is perfect for you if you've spent some time in the 'workshop world' and you're craving a retreat space that is more of a journey and less education-focused, where we aim to embody and explore from what we've learned and what we continue to learn from each other, from nature and from life.
The retreat is 'Tantric' in nature, by this we mean that we focus on embodied spirituality, goddess worship, nondual and transpersonal elements and the path of awakening.
It's a sexuality-positive space without being primarily focused on sexuality but honouring that current of life as sacred just as our emotions, thoughts, artistic expression and any other element of our humanity is sacred.
Luna and Ellie both love to weave together trauma-informed and somatic practice with transformational work and ritual space- offering both the nourishment of slower-paced containers with the edge and mystery of the unknown. We intend to create a space that feels nourishing, expansive and integrative, rather than just being about peak experience chasing.
Couples, friends, triads etc are welcome to join! There may be partnered practices or experiences you wish to do together or just journey separate.
We have rooms suited to couples with a large shared bed.
The Venue - Koh Phangan
We have a beautiful jungle sanctuary for the retreat, on the East side of the island.
All participants will stay on-site for the retreat and enjoy the beautiful space together for the week.
There is a waterfall nearby and a beach we can explore. There are various room types to fit different budgets and needs.
The venue features a variety of beautiful rooms, a steam sauna, sunrise meditation deck and meditation cave.
Getting There
The quickest way to get to Koh Phangan is to fly to Koh Samui and get the ferry across which takes under an hour (there are many ports on Samui, a few are close to the airport) but often there are not so many flights to the island and they are much more expensive.
The next option is to fly to Surat Thani airport, get a bus to Donsak and get the ferry across to the island which takes about 3 hours.
Otherwise, you can fly to Bangkok or Phuket and book a combination transport with bus and ferry or train and ferry. We highly recommend spending the extra money on the VIP bus if you take a bus as it can be very uncomfortable for such a long time.
I recommend using ROME 2 RIO to look at your options, and to arrive a couple of days before the retreat so you have time to settle and reset before we begin!
