A WEEKEND
RETREAT
FEBRUARY
14-16
2025
Warmly welcome to a weekend retreat of deep connection and dance with ropes in the wonderful Soul house, on the Danish countryside just 1 hour drive from Malmö/ Copenhagen.
3 DAYS OF
checking out from the normal
checking in with yourself
creating deep connections
developing your rope skills
deepening your ability express your boundaries
exploring surrender
I use the ropes as a tool, as an extension of my arms to hold you closer, to hold you with more depth. During a rope session we create a dance together. A dance in deep connection. You may experiment with surrendering into the space held by your partner. How deeply do you desire to trust? What happens to you when you surrender into the arms that hold you? When we play together, we create a beautiful dance between people. It is an opportunity to surrender to what emerges in the moment in the connection that is created between two humans.
All of you is welcome here! All expressions and all emotions, from tenderness to play, relaxation, anger, grief and sensuality.
WHO IS IT FOR
You can sign up alone or together with a partner, lover or friend that you feel comfortable sharing intimacy with. We will practice together and with each other, meaning we will change partners and meet people of all genders. It is therefore good if you feel comfortable being physically close to new people of mixed genders and feel some confidence in taking care of your own basic boundaries. We will also actively work on creating a safe space and to practice asking ourselves what we want and not, and communicate this.
The weekend is for everyone, from beginners, who have tied a little before, or those who have no earlier experience. The retreat can also fit you who know some basic technique, but desire a more sensual and embodied rope practice to build a stronger connection with your partner/s. The weekend will be an initiation to the art of tying and being tied in a tantric setting.
THE LOCATION
Soft Surender is the theme for the weekend. How can we support each other to soften, to feel safe, to surrender and lean in too being held? How can we use the ropes as tools to hold one another. How can the dance of connection support you to indulge yourself, to surrender yourself to the language and expression of your body, to rest in trust in your way, your process, your path. We will also invite the stillness, the slowness of mere being.
We will devoted ourselves to exploring the language of the body. You will be invited to tantric practises as well as rope technique, embodiment and trust practices and ritualistic play. This weekend will be an exploration in intimate connections, where the ropes become a tool to explore something more fundamentally human, sensuality and pleasure. In order to experience sensuality a deep state of presence is needed, which we will carefully, curiously and pleasurably approach through the ropes. We will meet in what is.
A weekend for you to pause everyday life and give yourself more time to connect, with yourself, with your body as well as with the partner/s you work with.
THE FACILITATOR
Karen Schov
Tantric Pleasure Goddess
I am passionate about Pleasure! Walking barefoot in the grass, living life at my very own pace. Creating space for life to flow through me and out to the world around me. The switch from “dedicated corporate slave” to a life as a passionate ever exploring Tantrica, working as a Pleasure Coach and a Tantra Therapist, has given me back the spark. Given space for meaning to flow back into my life and my work. Dedicating my life to embody authenticity and unlocking still higher levels of truth, joy and love, embracing all this that comes with being alive.
I am devoted to creating calm, warm spaces where people can feel safe to show up in their full vulnerability and maybe dear to lean into curiosity. Finding that courage inside of you to move out of comfort and expanding the way you experience life. In addition to private sessions, I host workshops, goddess circles and retreats, building community and creating a sense of togetherness.
I have been inspired by rope work for about 10 years and have felt deeply the connection it can bring, both to a partner and to the experience of life within my own being. I love the sensation of leaning into the rope wether it is held by me or hands and the rope of another as well as over and over again being mesmerised of the sensation of holding space for others to surrender into my arms and experience new sides of themselves.
ROPES
There will be ropes available for use during the entirety of the weekend. If you have your own, bring them! If you desire to have your own rope, there will be some available for purchase.
