Emergent Eros: Authentic Aliveness through Intimacy & Embodiment
Wednesday 14th August till Sunday 18th August
Imagine moving through the world integrated and assured in yourself.
Imagine living in a state of self-acceptance where you trust in your authentic expression.
Imagine feeling fully alive and in intimate relationship with Life.
You are invited to an innovative paradigm-shifting retreat at Osho Leela this Summer.
Offered for the very first time, this is a group journey of exploration over four days. The event is curated by Catherine Hale and Gayatri Beegan, and inspired by a “Culture of Care”.
We take what is best in a festival – top-notch facilitators sharing their gifts, a cornucopia of offerings, community, ceremony and celebration – and place within the circle of holding and care offered by a retreat.
The four-day immersive retreat will follow a journey arc of arriving and resourcing, exploration, expansion, celebration, and integration.
We root deep in embodiment and trauma-informed practice to provide solid ground for exploration.
We fly high on the wings of love and awareness to create heart-awakening soul-nourishing experiences.
This is where the magic happens.
The Pillars of our Togetherness
Curiosity, Playfulness & Innocence
Releasing the old scripts and stories and returning to original innocence. Letting go of assumptions, expectations and preconceptions and inviting aliveness through curiosity and playfulness. Moving beyond what we think we know and expanding into the emergent moment.
Permission to be you and to bring all of you into the space. Acceptance of difference and diversity in our embodiment and expression. Creating harmonious connections to Self, Other and Spirit.
Messiness & Humanity
We are not only individuals on our unique journey but also social animals in a collective space. We acknowledge the complex and sometimes messy business of human relating. Particularly when we are dismantling assumptions and pre-conceptions in order to imagine a better vision of humanity.
Awe & Reverence
Welcoming a wider spectrum of the human experience from grief and rage to joy and playful irreverence. Reconnecting with a sense of humility, awe and wonder.
Meet your Facilitators
dedicated to revolutionising the way we approach intimacy. With a
focus on slowing down the pace of sexual encounters and
fostering deeper connections, Ellie empowers individuals to release
trauma, shed people-pleasing tendencies, and embrace the true
essence of human connection. She believes passionately that
genuine connections are the magic of life.
Meet the Care Team
A Culture of Care seeks to repair endemic systems of harm by inviting momentum towards post traumatic growth as a possibility for all of humanity.
Pricing, Reciprocity & Sustainability
There is a new paradigm emerging for transformational spaces. We – Catherine Hale and Gayatri Beegan – intend to establish a new standard for space-holding through a “Culture of Care”. One that acknowledges the attention given before the retreat starts, holding during the retreat, and integration required after the retreat ends. One that creates sustainability for the space-holders. One that better serves you the participant.
This requires a step up in pricing. We acknowledge that this may come as a surprise to folks used to more low-level financial investment for an event at Osho Leela. We have thought carefully about how to balance the need for holding the retreat sustainably with the desire to make these spaces accessible to as many people as possible.

Emergent Eros FAQ
How to Join
One of the key intentions for the retreat is to provide an unparalleled level of integrity and care. Whilst acknowledging the messy and complex business of being human. In order to support you most fully in this experience, we have created an intake process for all participants.
The intention of this intake process is two-fold. Firstly, it gives you the opportunity to reflect on your own journey with eros, intimacy and embodiment so that you can decide if this is the right event for you. Secondly, it supports us in best supporting you before, during and after the event. It is part of our commitment to a Culture of Care.
