SUMMARY:Biodanza Summer Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Biodanza Summer Festival\nWednesday 5 August – Sunday 9 August 2026\nWelcome to the 20th International Biodanza Festival  \n2006 – 2026 \nwith Niraj and Friends! \nYes\, it is 20 years since I first had the idea to run a multi-day event with different teachers here at Leela!  \nThe first year 28 people came\, followed by 60 then around a hundred\, where it has more or less stayed ever since. \nIn that time many teachers from overseas and the UK have joined us to provide the content that you know and love…good quality vivencias in a spacious and fun programme that provides deep and lasting experiences on the dancefloor and a strong sense of community in the increasingly impressive grounds of The Leela Centre! \nThis year will be no exception. In fact\, it will be exceptional! \nWe’ve added an extra day to mark the occasion (at a mere £30 more than last year!)\, there will be live music performances on two evenings of the festival and the teaching team is expanded to 6\, including the outgoing President of the International governing body (IBFed) Adreina Acri (Italy/Chile) and our wonderful old friend Nataraj (Spain) whom many of you will remember! \nAs always you will be superbly well fed and nourished by the Leela kitchen team with many home grown ingredients from the polytunnels onsite and the legendary Coffee Shop brownies in the breaks. We shall also continue the pre pandemic tradition of maintaining the event as a phone free space so we can all benefit from an environment dedicated to connection rather than distraction. \nSo do join us for this special celebration this summer to renew old friendships and begin new ones; to dance\, dance and dance again; to enjoy the peace\, tranquility and beauty of the Dorset countryside; to delight in the friendliest vibe going and to honour the longevity of Rolando Toro’s sublime creation (Biodanza) in the UK…and MUCH MORE!! \nThis year is obviously going to be popular so do get your bookings in early for the lowest possible price and the best selection of private accommodation as once this is gone\, it’s gone! \n‘I am majorly looking forward to putting this together and making the 20th anniversary a magnificently memorable occasion for all concerned! See you on the dancefloor!’\n-Niraj \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PAYMENTPowered by Workshop Angel \nWhat’s on offer \nThe 20th Anniversary teaching team is once more spearheaded by the initiator of the International Biodanza Festival himself\, Niraj\, former resident at Leela (2005-2012) and Director of the Dorset School of Biodanza (2008-2019) and faithful bio-dancer since July 1997. Niraj will top and tail the event\, leading the opening and closing vivencias for everyone in the Marquee and will be your host for the Morning Gatherings where we go through the daily programme. \nHeadline guest teacher this year is outgoing President of the International governing body (IBFed) of Biodanza Andreina Acri (Italy/Chile). We are wonderfully privileged to receive such a prestigious and experienced doyen of Biodanza for her first visit to the festival! \nReturning after a long absence is dear and cherished friend Nataraj Garcia from Spain\, who was an early supporter of the festival and a stalwart of the team that brought Biodanza: Rites of Spring to Leela back in the day and we are delighted to welcome him back! \nAnother new face is Laura Urrutia\, also from Spain’s Basque Country\, a recent graduate from the Vitoria School of Biodanza and partner of Nataraj. \nLarger than life and all round lovable lad Milarepa will once again be adding his inimitable magic to the mix\, both in terms of vivencias and Improv Comedy sessions that have become a feature of recent festivals. \nAnna Sadler made her debut at last year’s festival\, doing her final supervised class to complete her formal training and now joins us as a fully qualified teacher in her own right!

Leela’s vibrant community and beautiful venue provide the perfect setting to experience the profound joy of dance and connection. \nWhat you will experience\nDance\, dance\, dance!\nMove\, feel\, and express yourself freely\nExperience love in action\nEnter into deep intimacy with yourself\, others\, and existence\nHave fun and let your spirit soar\nMake lasting connections with a supportive community\nDress up for an unforgettable Dance Party!\nDetox from technology and reconnect with the moment (yes\, really—phones away!) \nThis experience will leave you\nRefreshed and renewed\, ready to embrace life with vitality.\nEmpowered with fresh resolution for positive change.\nMore connected to yourself\, your community\, and the earth.\nNourished—mind\, body\, and soul—with delicious meals and enriching relationships.\nExpanded\, content\, and utterly happy! \nYour Host\nNiraj Skilbeck (host)Niraj leads the Dorset School of Biodanza and is skilled at opening people to many aspects of Tantra such as sensitivity\, sensuality\, touch\, affection and transcendence.

I’m Italian but I’ve lived in South America for more than half my life. See you soon and get to know each other better. MilarepaAfter a tumultuous first Biodanza experience on the dancefloor in Zorba\, I went on to train in the first cycle of the Dorset School of Biodanza. Since then I have been running a Monday night Biodanza class in Hampshire/Dorset which is now in its 13th year. Alongside this\, I’ve been bringing Biodanza to a growing number of care homes in the area\, specialising in working with people living with dementia.

SUMMARY:Invocation Festival
DESCRIPTION:Invocation Festival\nMovement – Sound – Voice \nThursday July 9th – Sunday July 12th 2026\n \n\n\n\nInvocation is a festival to nourish you through exploration of movement\, dance\, sound\, voice\, and embodiment. \nOur unique voice and dance is a gift to be explored and shared\, when we come together to dance and sing\, community arises. \nPick and choose from the beautiful offerings from a wide range of facilitators to explore your dance and voice. Lose yourself in music\, movement\, sound and sensation. \nFind yourself in the groundedness of your feet. \nIn this age of technology\, digital stimulation\, fast pace information and disconnection with nature\, our nature – let’s come together and be present to the gift of these moments of creation\, sharing all it is to be human through these rich modes of exploration. \nThis is an alcohol and drug free festival. We can get high on being alive right now\, honouring all our emotions\, similarities and differences through movement\, sound and song. \nThe programme begins at 4pm\, but if you cannot make it for then\, do try to be here for our Opening Ceremony led by Christina Kane at 8pm Thursday.\n\n\n\nDuring this festival we will experience: \n\nSacred Octave – Indian Scale\n5 Rhythms\nDance Connection\nVoicework\nKirtan\nContinuum\nSomatic Movement\nSound Baths\nQi Gong\nVocal Improvisation\nOpening & Closing Ceremonies (opening including cacoa) & Sacred Fire Ceremony \n\nWho is this for… \n* No dance or singing ability necessary* Suitable also for experienced dancers and singers* For anyone wanting to explore different modalities of movement* For anyone wishing to explore their voice through a rich array of workshops* For anyone preferring a smaller festival \nThe Benefits of Spending 4 days Together in this Intimate Festival \nSinging and dancing for body\, mind and soul. \nThe many benefits of Singing include:\nRelieving stress and tension; boosting confidence; improving breathing; participating in a mindful activity; and so much more. \nDancing has some crossover benefits\, it also:\nImproves balance and coordination; enhances social connections; increase levels of the feel-good hormone serotonin; builds stronger bones and muscles\, and so much more….look it up and you’ll see lots of supportive research.  \nWhat often isn’t mentioned though\, is how deeply both dancing and singing connect you to your essence self\, and open gateways to soul expression and connection. \nSince time immemorial people have dance and sung\, as Beethoven knew “Music has the power to revolutionise our world”. \nAs we journey together through movement and voice – the naturalness of expression\, uniqueness of each other\, and sense of community\, are gifts bestowed on us all – deepening day by day – as Aristotle said “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts”. \nOur Unique Voice And Dance Is A Gift To Be Explored\nMeet your Facilitators \nJewell Hope BrightwellCo-Leader | Dance ConnectionJewell loves music\, movement\, sound\, and voice which is why she came up with the idea of the Invocation festival in August 2024\, she wasn’t aware of any festival dedicated to this combination. Creative Director of Dance Connection\, Jewell’s mission is to get as many people moving together as possible – she sees that movement when carefully coupled with music gives a broad human experience : “we can let our body dance us\, explore unfamiliar movement\, be the music\, express our emotions\, accept and inspire each other with no judgment\, and connect without words\, beyond personality – it feels almost miraculous at times.”\nFor more info about Jewell\, click on the image above.Dance Connection For Relaxation\nA Dance Connection pathway created to land in your body and relax before bed. In this pathway we will mainly be exploring solo dances and movement\, so that you can deeply connect to your own body’s messages and needs\, music is carefully selected to support the invitations. Unlike typical Dance Connection pathways\, you will only be gently reactivated after the deceleration &  stillness sections of the pathway – so that you stay relaxed for bed/sleep. Bring mat\, blanket\, bottled water\, wear layered clothing. \nDivine Human Dance\n\nThis Dance Connection pathway will explore our animal bodies\, instincts\, naturalness; alongside transcendent and reverent dances – maybe we will find a way to marry the two and experience the divine human animal we are? Dance Connection is geared for connection with your self\, and others – this pathway will include solo\, pair\, small group\, and whole group movement explorations. Wear layered clothing\, bring bottled water\, optional blanket.\n\nGavin FrankCo-Leader | Indian Ragas\, & VoiceworkGavin Frank is a singer\, voice facilitator\, Kirtan leader and musician. He has more than 26 years’ experience of empowering people to find their voice. He runs chanting groups\, voice workshops\, retreats and one-to-one sessions in the UK and Europe.

Gavin is passionate about nature\, travel\, good food\, yoga\, the gym\, 5 rhythms and of course music.\nFor more info about Gavin\, click on the image above.Workshop: The Singing Body\nThe Singing Body is an immersive exploration of your true voice\, weaving together chant\, mantra\, movement\, breath work\, and free vocal expression to help you inhabit your voice more fully and freely. Through gentle\, embodied practices\, participants learn to release tension\, soften into presence\, and reconnect with the essence that lives beneath habitual patterns and holding. This workshop opens both the physical and inner voice\, inviting a sense of spaciousness\, authenticity\, and ease in expression. The practices are meditative\, grounding\, and transformative—simple tools you can continue to build into daily life to deepen your connection to yourself\, your body\, and your unique sound. \nWorkshop: The Sacred Octave\nThe Sacred Octave is a deep-dive workshop into the Swaras of the Indian Scale—a powerful vocal map that guides you through the body’s energy centres and opens a pathway to expressive\, embodied sound. Through learning the unique tones of this scale and exploring how they weave together\, you’ll discover a new way of working with your voice that brings balance to your whole system\, releases tension\, and invites deeper breath and presence. We may also explore a simple raga to experience how particular combinations of notes evoke specific emotional qualities\, using it as a framework to expand resonance\, range\, and inner awareness. This work supports you in drawing out your inner voice and marrying it with outward expression\, helping you relax\, open your heart\, connect more authentically with yourself\, and experience the liberating\, healing potential of your own sound. \nKelly Day Sound BathsKelly is a sound healer\, Reiki practitioner and counsellor based in Devon. Always having felt deeply connected to sound\, she feels blessed to be able to offer this way of healing to others. Working intuitively she is able to connect with the sacred instruments of gongs\, drum\, Tibetan bowls\, crystal bowls\, chimes and handpan to create a profound experience and to induce a state of relaxation and a journey to assist the balance of mind\, body\, spirit and emotion.\nConnecting to ancient wisdom within and bringing forth what has been there all along\, Kelly is excited to share this beautiful energy medicine to you. \nFor more info about Kelly\, click on the image above.Sound Bath\nThe healing and integrative power of sound\n \nModern life is stressful and fast\, sound healing allows a melting away of worries and distractions\, to become present to soundscape \n\nInduce a state of relaxation\nGive an opportunity for journeying through soundscape\nExperience the timeless enwrapping that sound journeys bring\n\nChristina Marie Kane Ceremony | Sacred Fire | QigongChristina (Misty Moon Bear) is a sacred space-holder and guide devoted to awakening the heart and embodying the deep wisdom of the soul.

Christina’s mission is simple yet profound: to help others descend\, reclaim\, embody & rise to walk their path with clarity\, heart\, and sacred intention.\n \nFor more info about Christina\, click on the image above.Opening Ceremony\nTogether\, we will call in the Archetypal energies of the Serpent\, Jaguar\, Hummingbird and Condor\, the Ancestors and the Elements in a powerful remembrance of these forces within us. \n\n\n\nWe will drink the nectar of Hummingbird Medicine\, honouring Joy\, Lightness\, and the ability to find sweetness even in challenging times. \n\n\nWe will give gratitude to the Earth\, one another & the Q’ero peoples of Peru by creating a Despacho\, as at this time in history the Andean Shamans have asked that their Medicine be shared in the West to fulfil the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor—a time when the Eagle of the North and the Condor of the South fly together\, symbolising the harmonious integration of cultures and the emergence of a new level of human consciousness. Let Hummingbird guide us away from our old stories to the Magic & Miracles already here Now. \n\n\n\nClosing Ceremony\n\n\nChristina will close the Directions with Gratitude to the energies that have held us throughout the Festival in a collaboration with the other Leaders who will share Song (Gavin) etc \n\n\nSacred Fire Ceremony: \n\n\nExperience An ancient ritual of Fire & Song inspired by the Q’ero Peoples\, whose Medicine is pure\, to release all that holds us back from our highest destiny and potential for Joy\, Peace & Connection. Allow the Fire to transform all that no longer serves you\, as you Sing your Heart Song—leaving you clearer\, lighter and more alive and pathing the way for a better future for future generations. \n\n\nQigong\n\nA gentle practice of movement\, breathing\, and focused awareness used to calm the mind and strengthen the body. \n\n\nFeels relaxing\, smooth\, and meditative \n\n\nIncreases body awareness and creates a sense of calm energy \n\n\nWhat are the benefits: \n\n\n\nReduces stress\n\n\n\n\nImproves circulation\, posture\, and flexibility\n\n\n\n\nSupports emotional balance and overall wellness\n\n\n\n\nBetter sleep\, more energy\, and less tension\n\n\n\n\nImproved balance\, immunity\, and resilience over time\n\n\n\n\nGreater inner peace and mental clarity\n\n\nBlanche MulhollandContinuum & Somatic MovementAs a registered Somatic Movement Therapist & Educator\, Continuum Teacher and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner\, Blanche has developed a unique approach to healing through movement and embodied enquiry within her private practice Somatic Alchemy.

I therefore teach with a deep respect for discernment and boundaries\, honouring the fact that people need to feel safe to feel free. I was trained by my beloved teacher\, friend and ‘Spirit Mama’ Gabrielle Roth back in 2004 and she still has my back every time I teach. With the help of fluid guidance and cutting-edge music choices arising out of the moment\, my sessions are a group journey into the heart of embodied ecstasy. \nFor more info about Francis\, click on the image above. \n5Rhythms\n5Rhythms Workshop — Move Into Connection\n5Rhythms is a dynamic movement practice that invites you to move with your breath\, listen to your body\, and let yourself be danced. Through guided movement\, you explore what happens when you soften self-imposed limitations and step out of isolation into embodied presence. \nThis is not about how you look\, but about discovering who is really dancing. \nWhat you’ll gain \n\n\nDeepened connection: to your body\, to others\, and to the larger field of movement \n\n\nA felt sense of freedom and aliveness through embodied expression \n\n\nAccess to creativity that arises when thinking gives way to sensing \n\n\nWhat you will experience: \n\n\nConnection to self — increased body awareness\, presence\, and trust in your own movement \n\n\nConnection to others — authentic relating through shared\, non-verbal experience \n\n\nConnection to life energy — renewed creativity\, vitality\, and a sense of belonging \n\n\n5Rhythms opens a doorway from separation into connection\, connection\, connection — where movement becomes a language and community emerges naturally. \nMichelle CrozierKirtan | Sound JourneyOriginally from an opera and musical theatre background\, Michelle embarked on an amazing journey of self-discovery through bhakti yoga and sound healing. She fell in love with the practices many years ago and hasn’t looked back since. Michelle is a multi-instrumentalist and a versatile singer who originally began as a kirtan drummer and backing vocalist.

The key to his genius is a simplicity of being that is too often missing in the everyday arts marketplace”. \nChloe Goodchild-Pioneer of The Naked Voice\n“I have been participating in Dance Connection workshops for 3 years. The Dance Connection pathways have been portals into a deep sense of aliveness\, joy\, harmony and community. I feel a sense of wholeness that I rarely feel in everyday life. I work as a GP and I find that the dances facilitated by Jewell are the perfect antidote to my often overly stimulated\, information processing mind. I can immediately drop attention into my body and feel in tune with its needs\, inclinations and living wisdom. The harmony that occurs during some of the group dances is awe inspiring and very moving. If you want to discover a new outlet that will promote health and happiness more than you can ever imagine\, I would thoroughly recommend trying Dance Connection.”   \nBryan\, Doctor\, IrelandMay We Sing And Dance Our Dreams Into Being\n\nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PAYMENTPowered by Workshop Angel \n\nDetails: \nArrival: Thursday July 9th 2026 @ 4:00pm\nEnd:  Sunday July 12st 2026 @ 4:00 pm \n\n\nTicket price includes festival\, food & camping with your own tent gear:\nFull Price till 2nd July: £350\nEarly Bird till 31st May: £310 \n\nPayment Plans are available for all tickets to spread out the cost with no additional charge.\n \nAccommodation options for 3 nights:\nCamping £0\nOwn campervan £7.50 – £60 \nDorm £60

It’s about grounded presence\, clear boundaries\, and a voice that carries strength and kindness at the same time. \nThis weekend is for women who are ready to stop shrinking\, stop over-explaining\, stop abandoning themselves — and begin leading from embodied truth. \nIt takes courage to live authentically. \nOften\, what holds us back are unexpressed emotions stored in the body. \nThis weekend is about releasing\, remembering\, and reclaiming. \n\n\nBOOK HERE\nDuring this workshop we will… \nYou are not coming to learn something new. \nYou are coming to remember who you were before you were shaped\, silenced\, made smaller\, made agreeable\, made polite\, made acceptable. \nThis work invites a deep return to your instinctual core\, where the belly anchors your sense of safety\, boundaries\, and inner authority. As this centre awakens\, the channel to the throat heals and strengthens\, allowing your needs and truth to be expressed with clarity and embodied power. \nThis is the Forbidden Path: \n\nThe path where women are no longer ruled by shame.\nThe path where your body is your authority.\nThe path where your voice is no longer negotiated.\nThe path where boundaries are not defended — they are lived.\nThe path where leadership comes from presence\, not performance.\n\n This weekend is a crossing point. \n\nThe Weekend \nHere we awaken the element of Earth: grounding\, stability\, boundaries\, body-truth\, and the first shedding of an old identity. \nThrough ceremony\, shadow work\, ancestral clearing\, emotional release and embodied boundary practices\, we enter the place where women remember who they are beneath generations of conditioning. \nWe will work with: \n\nA threshold ritual of release\nEarthing practices for grounding and boundaries\nAncestral shame\, guilt & suppression\nEmotional expression & somatic truth\nVoice\, presence & embodied Inner Authority \nClear\, kind boundaries and authentic communication\n\nYou will be held through elemental ritual\, body-based healing\, and earth practices that support you to hold more life force\, truth\, and leadership in your system. \n\n‘I arrived feeling a bit tired and needing nourishment. The songbird in my heart began to sing. She remembered her song.’ Nadia participant of previous workshop Woman Alive \nWhat women often leave with… \n\nA strong foundation of clarity and grounding\nEmotional release and identity shedding\nA personal boundary statement\nA daily grounding practice\nA communication framework to use immediately\nA deepened commitment to walking the Forbidden Path\n\n\nWho is this for: \n\nWomen ready to step into embodied leadership\nWomen longing to stand alongside other women in honesty and depth\nWomen carrying shame\, anger\, or ancestral weight that is ready to be \nlaid down\nWomen ready to reclaim their voice\, boundaries\, and rooted power\n\n\n” If you want to share with sisters on your journey\, to go deeper into your self knowledge & awakening\, to expand your energy & to celebrate life from & with your heart\, this retreat is for you!!” \nVanessa\, participant Woman Alive 2024 \n\nThe Forbidden Path Initiation Facilitators:\nMeet Sanjula:  \nSanjula is a deeply experienced facilitator trained over many years at Humaniversity under the guidance of Veeresh.

The sessions were really lovely\, very gentle. We did some creativity workshops as well as healing\, breathing exercises and chakra meditations. Tantra in the West has a really strong s*xual flavour and it’s not really about that. \nDimitri\nIt’s definitely an in-depth exploration and a journey\, which you go on with a group\, so it’s a beautiful container to grow in over time. It was really helpful to learn more about circulating energy through the chakras and to get precise guidance. It felt really expansive and exciting\, and a very interesting way to play with energy. It was a very gentle\, subtle and sweet learning experience. \nAurora\nOne of the things I have loved most about this experience is having the old school tantra\, rituals\, devotion\, working with energy\, breathwork and intention.  this is really meaningful for me because it is hard to find that in England in my experience as there is a lot of neo tantra so it is lovely to have something that the richeness and depth of ancient tradition and wisdom. I also want to share how beautiful it was for me to have Maite singing with her guitar to support us in song. There is something very special about singing in community and to be in devotion through music and song so i’ve really enjoye that she brought her gifts. I’ve had a lovely experience. \nHarmony Isgolde\nIt has been a beautiful four module experience for me\, especially to do this with my beloved; to look at the shadows and the connection between us and how to deepen that\, and also the shadows within myself between the feminine and the masculine has been really great to explore. The whole experience has been really enlightening and brings beauty and joy to the heart. \nPremesh\nI have just completed the LTE and I am so full of love\, I feel amazing. It is such a safe\, gentle space that has been held here. This last 5 months there have been beautiful connections\, beautiful friendships… I highly recommend this to anybody. \nCressida\nI have had a really deep\, meaningful and spiritual journey into myself that has helped me to understand me and others and to open my heart to everyone. \nPrem TuriyaLife Tantra Experience – Training Level 1 Workshop Dates 2026:\n\n\nMarch 20 – 22: Module I “The Tantra Map” Cosmic Blueprint for Living Fully\nApril 17 – 19: Module II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”\nMay 22 – 24: Module III “She and He are One” The Sun and Moon within\nJune 26 – 28: Module IV\, “Devotional Tantra” – Union\, Love & Meditation\n\nPlease note – This is not a facilitator training.

DESCRIPTION:Shamanic Divination\n \nWisdom – Guidance – Insight \nWith Zohar Bahir\n \n\n\nFriday 19th June – Sunday 21st June 2026 \nShamanic Divination is an experiential workshop designed to reconnect you with one of the oldest spiritual arts known to humanity — the sacred practice of seeking guidance through direct revelation. \nAcross cultures and centuries\, shamans have entered altered states of awareness to consult compassionate spirit allies for insight\, healing and clarity. \nDivination is the disciplined art of asking meaningful questions and receiving wisdom beyond the rational mind. \nIn this immersive workshop\, you will not only learn about ancient shamanic divination methods — you will practice them. \nYou will explore how to become a clear vessel\, often referred to as the Hollow Bone or Hollow Reed\, through which insight and guidance can flow. \nWorking with stones\, bones\, shells\, nature\, trance states and spirit allies\, you will develop practical skills for receiving and interpreting messages with integrity and discernment. \nThis is a weekend of direct experience\, grounded teaching and deepened perception. \nSCROLL TO DETAILSWhat Is It About \nSo many people carry questions. \nQuestions about direction\, purpose\, relationships\, healing\, decisions. \nShamanic Divination is the art of asking — and receiving an answer. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn how shamans consult wise and loving spirit allies to access knowledge beyond the ordinary mind. You will be introduced to the shaman as the “Seer” — one who sees beyond the visible world. \nThis requires becoming what is traditionally called The Hollow Bone or Hollow Reed — a clear vessel through which wisdom flows. \nYou will also be introduced to your own Shamanic Divination Master — a guiding spirit ally who supports your development in these ancient arts. \nDuring This Workshop You Will Experience:\n \n\nWorking with a personal Shamanic Divination Master\nCasting stones\, bones and shells to interpret patterns and messages\nEntering light trance states to receive insight\nOmen Walks for prophetic revelation\nNature divination through clouds\, trees\, wind\, birds and water\nWord Doctoring — a shamanic healing method through spirit guidance\nTransforming objects into Power Objects for divination\nWorking with effigies in The Ways of the Light for healing and wellbeing\nRemote viewing practices for locating missing people\, animals and objects\n\nThis is immersive\, practical and guided throughout. \nThis Workshop Is For You If ….\n \n\nYou feel called to work with spirit in a grounded and responsible way\nYou want to deepen your intuitive perception\nYou are drawn to ancient wisdom traditions\nYou want practical tools for insight and guidance\nYou are ready to become a clearer channel for wisdom\n\nNo prior experience is required — only openness and respect for the work. \nWhat Is Divination \nDivination is the sacred art of seeking knowledge through symbolic systems and spirit communication. \nIt is the disciplined practice of interpreting patterns\, signs and messages in collaboration with compassionate spiritual allies. \nDivination brings clarity where the rational mind reaches its limits. \nThis workshop is open to beginners as well as those wishing to deepen their shamanic practice. \n‘A shaman is one who is able to traverse the shamanic terrain bringing back knowledge\, wisdom and healing.’ Zohar  \n Introducing Zohar Bahir \nZohar began her unique journey more than 30 years ago and has continued to develop her skills to this day. In 2014\, following a dream career as an airline pilot\, she decided to explore shamanic healing and travelled to the Amazon where she lived with the Shipibo tribe for several months. \nDuring this time\, she underwent an advanced and intense initiation with a Shipibo maestro curandero\, a master healer. \nAfter returning to the UK with newfound inspiration\, she completed a 3-year course in Classical Shamanism and has been working as a shamanic practitioner ever since. \nWhen it comes to teaching Zohar believes in an experiential approach and her workshops reflect this methodology. \n\nI’ve had the great pleasure of receiving shamanic teaching and healing from Zohar several times over the years. \nHaving worked with other\npractitioners\, Zohar is someone who truly embodies the qualities and\nskills but most importantly the authenticity of a true healer. \nWith an admirable\, interesting life story\, Zohar is relatable in so many ways yet has the aura of a wise and ancient elder who has been doing the work for thousands of years. \nHer ability to hold space is second to none as her calming presence puts you at ease while her strong spirit inspires courage and confidence. \nIn a community saturated with ‘healers’\, I am so thankful to have been guided by her and her work has helped shift the course of my life in the greatest of ways. \nWith her having so much to\nshare and there being so much to learn from\, she is not only a healer\nbut also a great teacher and guide. \nThe real deal. \nCharlie S.\nI am an 83 years old woman who has spent most of my life dealing with\nthe severe trauma that lies in my family from centuries ago.When I\nmoved from Cornwall to Sussex 5 years ago\, I was delighted to learn\nthat a shaman lives next door. Her name is Zohar Bahir and I\nimmediately arranged to take shamanic journeys with her\, something I had wanted to do all my life. \nWhat transpired from those profound journeys and the integration process I was instructed to carry out at the end\, proved to be the culmination of all the therapeutic work\, mainly Jungian and body work\, that I’ve done during my long life. \nI have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone with an interest in shamanic teaching. \nZohar is experienced\, conscientious and trustworthy and works to the deepest levels of understanding. \nSarah I.\nI was very fortunate to embark on numerous shamanic workshops\ntaught by Zohar. \nZohar explains the theory and practices very clearly in her workshops and in an intriguing way that I was able to retain the\ninformation and put it into practice. \nZohar makes her workshops an\namazing and insightful experience. \nShe is a fantastic teacher who\nbrings her vast experience and inspiration to every workshop and in\naddition\, she is understanding\, patient and compassionate. \nNielWhat To Bring …. \nFor this portion of the workshop you will need to bring with you a Casting Set. This is a collection of small found objects. For example\, as a small stone\, a crystal\, a coin\, an acorn\, a shell\, a bone\, a bead etc.\n \n\nDetails\nStart: Friday June 19th @ 6:00pm (We encourage you to arrive at 5pm so you’ve time to settle in.

SUMMARY:Awakening Your Inner Guide
DESCRIPTION:Awakening Your Inner Guide \nMeditation – Heartfulness – Mystery \nWith Shunyo & Marco \nThursday 11th June till Sunday 14th June \nWe all have an inner guide\, but a lot of the time we are not in touch with it.  \nWe are busy\, distracted by many things happening in our life\, and most of all by the continue chatter in the mind that creates a lot of noise. \nMeditation is just a method of becoming aware of what is happening to you.  \nNo disturbance\, no judgment\, just watching what is happening in you. \nIf you go on watching your instincts and their growth a moment comes when your instincts start changing into intuition. \nWith Marco playing live music the course happens in a joyful atmosphere. \nDuring This Workshop You Will Experience \n  \n\nOsho Active meditations will be practiced\nSelf-enquiry\nDance and celebration\nQuestions and sharing\nMeditations from Osho’s Book of Secrets\nSilent Sittings\nGuided relaxations\nTechniques to awaken the senses\n\n  \nWHAT ARE THE BENEFITS\n \n\nFeeling good about yourself and centered in life. \nBeing more aware \nLive the moment \n\n“Each time you penetrate into meditation\, time stops\, the clock stops\, the world stops. Then you are \nneither in the past nor in the future nor even in the present; you simply are. There is no time – you \ncannot relate yourself with time. So the best definition of meditation is ’a state of no-time’ or ’a \nstate of no-mind’.” \nOSHO : “The Sun Rises in the Evening” chapter 1. \nYour Facilitators\nPrem Shunyo & MarcoPrem Shunyo has been practicing OSHO meditation techniques for forty-five years\, during which time she has travelled extensively throughout the world conducting workshops\, trainings and meditation retreats. \nShunyo’s training in meditation and awareness began whilst living for fourteen years in close contact with Osho\, as part of his personal staff. \nDuring the twenty years she was living in the OSHO International Meditation Resort she trained as a facilitator in Osho Mystic Rose\, as well as hypnosis for meditation and all of Osho’s meditation techniques. \nMusic and movement are an important part of Shunyo’s work in her courses\, and this\, coupled with her intuitive\, heartfelt way of working\, allows participants to touch very deep levels of peace and silence. Music by Veet Marco has been specifically created as a support in the meditations. \nShunyo is the director of the OSHO Institute for Vipassana and Zazen. (www.oshovipassana.com)\nHer book\, that Osho asked her to write\, is translated in many languages – the English title is “My Diamond Days with Osho”. \nVeet Marco\nMusician and spiritual seeker\, in 1979 became a disciple of Osho\, and has since experimented with sounds and music applied to meditation.\nSince 1995 he plays live in events and meditation groups worldwide.\nHe has composed many CDs for meditation available on www.meditantra.com\, click on the picture above for more info. These meditations are ancient tantric liberation techniques. \nFor more info about Shunyo & Marco\, click the picture above!\n\n‘A Meditating seminar\, a Vipassana retreat or a Meditation Training with Shunyo is a delight. \n\n\nSimplicity is what Shunyo transmits – her many years with Osho permeates the whole atmosphere and \n\n\nthroughout the seminars her inner silence and presence “points out” the direction. \n\n\nHer laughter and easiness\, her joy and her love is a precious support. \n\n\nTime with Shunyo is a journey towards “being in meditation”  – love and gratitude’ \n\n\nDhairya\, Director\, A&D Tantricheart\n\n\nDear Shunyo\,\nI loved working with you and Marco last year. It was an immense pleasure\, and I could not have wished for a better experience.\nFrom the very first moment\, I perceived something unique in you: a deep and simple gentleness\, a living in your heart that inspired me and that I immediately wanted to cultivate within myself.\nIn the silence\, a thought came to me: I cannot imagine exactly what the master’s energy is live\, but if I try\, I imagine it to be similar to your essence.Thank you again for everything you have transmitted to me\, for your presence and for your example.\nIn the meantime\, I will always carry with me the warmth of these shared moments. \n\nNirav Geet\, Switserland\n\n‘Shunyo and Marco brought such a precious gift with their work. \nI am so thrilled to have been in such a beautiful group with them. \nThe music was so fitting with the meditations and really celebrative\, and then came the full and joyful emersion into silence.’ \n\nPrasuna\, Ibiza‘I have been participating in Osho’s “Book of Secrets” based meditation groups offered by Shunyo and Marco since… maybe 20 years. And every time is as the first time: powerful energy experiences\, heart opening dimensions\, touching music notes\, rhythms and tunes… very supportive to the specific technic. \nThe “Book of Secrets” techniques as proposed by them are based\, of course\, on Osho’s words\, but the way they have structured the meditation with those words is genial and very effective. \nIn these courses I have understood very well what it means that “energy follows imagination”. \nI am very grateful for the loving support\, sensitivity and insight of Shunyo and to the lightness and friendly easiness of Marco. With them I could easily say I have learned very much about how to meditate and especially in a joyous and easy way!’Swami Deva Akarmo\, Editor\, Italian Osho Times\, Milan‘Last year\, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a meditation event in Italy with Shunyo and Marco.  \nShunyo\, an expert in facilitating meditations based on Osho’s Book of Secrets\, was joined by Marco\, whose enchanting music added a whole new dimension to the experience. \n Words cannot convey the sheer bliss of those sessions – the air was charged with a tangible intensity of silence\, and the sky seemed to burst into a joyous celebration that melted our hearts. Shunyo and Marco are undoubtedly gifts to humanity.  \nTheir presence taught us invaluable lessons in embracing silence\, becoming more self-aware\, and finding happiness within ourselves.  I am overjoyed that I traveled all the way from the USA to attend this unforgettable event.’Antar Rakesh from Dallas\, Texas\n‘Between 2019 and 2023 I have participated to many Vipassana and Zazen retreats\, trainings\, festivals and group activities facilitated by Shunyo and Marco – and all I can say to describe my experience with them is that words are not the right tool for this job. And yet\, if I really had to put all of this in a few words\, I would say that what I love about their approach is the genuine love and respect for Osho.\n\nOne can immediately perceive this while listening to Marco’s music for Osho’s Book of Secrets meditations\, as well as to Shunyo’s guidelines for the techniques. Their humility beggars belief\, considering the fact that they have spent most of their life doing this – and yet\, they show up as humble as the last ones arrived. \nIn truth\, what I am mostly grateful about\, beyond everything else\, is the honour of calling them “friends”. And believe me\, you do feel welcome as a friend\, when you meet them. What more one could ask for?’Kabiro\, Italy‘Why did I join the Meditation course with Shunyo and Marco three years in a row?  \nBecause it is simply the most delicious\, beautiful heart space\, making meditation so easy\, creating such a lighthearted atmosphere and giving me delightful experiences of… sweet nothing. Just wonderful.’Parigyan\, GermanyAre you interested in getting to know yourself? \nJoin us for this weekend! \nSome experience of Osho’s meditations is helpful\, but not essential. \nClick here to book your ticket & accommodationPowered by Workshop Angel \nDetails\nStart: Thursday June 11th @ 10:00am\nEnd: Sunday June 14th @ 2:00pm\nRegistration Ticket £450 (this includes event & food)\nEarly Bird £420 available until 21 May (includes event & food) \nNote: You can make a payment plan\, the total price should be full paid before the retreat is starting. \nAccommodation is not included in the base price and can be selected separately during checkout via the booking link.\n \nFor more info about our accommodation & facilities check here. \nClick here to book your ticket & accommodationPowered by Workshop Angel

SUMMARY:Emergent Eros
DESCRIPTION:Emergent Eros 2026 \nWednesday 3rd June till Sunday 7th June \nThere is a longing that doesn’t come from lack.\nIt comes from having tasted something true and knowing there is more. \nMore depth.\nMore intimacy.\nMore aliveness. \nYou’ve already done inner work — attended workshops or festivals\, touched moments of profound openness and connection — and still find yourself seeking something real that endures. \nYou’re tired of peak experiences that promise transformation\, yet don’t support what it takes to stay present in the unpolished\, uncertain\, everyday moments. \nYou’re done with spaces that celebrate intensity\, but shy away from the relational truth of sitting with another human in all their beauty and messiness. \nIn a culture shaped by speed\, performance\, and curated selves\, even the most committed seekers can find their capacity for sustained presence quietly eroding. \nEmergent Eros is an invitation into a more truthful rhythm of relating. \nA creative\, relational space where intimacy is lived rather than performed — shaped over time and held in community. \nOffered for the third year running\, Emergent Eros is a new paradigm in conscious sexuality gatherings. \nCurated and hosted by Gayatri Beegan\, and co-created with a handpicked team of leading facilitators in intimacy and relational practice\, embodiment and movement\, music and ecstatic dance\, eros\, and sacred ceremony.  \nThe theme for the 2026 gathering is: Let’s get real — and a little bit messy. \nA rebellion against the airbrushed perfectionism of the digital age.\nA reclamation of your wild\, vulnerable human self — in all its perfect imperfection.\nA space to meet complexity with curiosity\, courage\, and care.\nTo be more honestly human — together. \n“After Emergent Eros\, I’m looking at people differently and don’t mind people looking at me. I’m chatting to strangers at the shops with ease. This is so profound for me. I don’t feel as ashamed of myself and my body and this reflects in how I’m viewing my world. It’s life changing.” – Lauren \nImagine a place where you get to…\n \n💜 Inhabit your body more fully\, so that sensation\, pleasure\, and presence can expand into richer\, more alive experiences. \n💜 Feel resourced and supported enough to meet your edges\, so that growth happens through curiosity and choice rather than pressure or performance. \n💜 Practise intimacy in grounded\, relational ways that ripple out into your world – how you meet lovers\, friends\, and community beyond the event. \n💜 Taste the nourishment of real human connection\, so that your body\, heart\, and soul remember what it is to be met — and to meet others — fully. \n💜 Awaken a renewed sense of awe and aliveness\, so that intimacy becomes a source of creativity\, meaning\, and vitality in your life. \nMeet your Facilitators \nGayatri Beegan \nGayatri (she/her) is the curator and host of Emergent Eros. Since 2012\, she has guided thousands through journeys of erotic awakening\, embodied intimacy\, and communal transformation.

He works as both a trauma-informed bodyworker & relationship coach\, supporting individuals & couples around authentic relating\, intimacy\, pleasure & alternative relationship styles. As *The Feminist Love Coach* he works with men around questions of masculinity & how patriarchy impacts our ability to have meaningful and authentic relationships. \nDave Bevan \nDave (he/they) has been supporting groups and individuals with matters of the heart for more than 10 years. His superpower is compassion\, and the ability to create spaces where you know that all of you is not only welcome\, but precious and valued. This applies whether he is volunteering to support young offenders with “A Band of Brothers” or helping clients with sacred sexuality sessions. \nShanti & Hugs \nShanti & Hugs are hosting the Garden of Earthly Delights — a space devoted to sacred sensuality and intimacy arts. \nShanti (she/her) is a sacred sexuality practitioner with a deep grounding in tantric ritual\, ceremony\, and embodied practice. A mother\, mover\, somatic educator\, and artist\, she brings a rich\, intuitive presence that weaves creativity with depth. \nHugs (he/him) is a certified Sexological bodyworker and Orgasmic Expansion Coach\, devoted to supporting others in discovering their capacity for pleasure through embodied practice\, self-inquiry\, and conscious touch. He is also a blacksmith — a maker in both the physical and relational realms. \nTogether\, they create spaces that are intimate\, playful\, and deeply held – where exploration\, connection\, and aliveness can unfold. \nKaty Cara \nKaty (she/they) is a nature-loving single mum\, yogi and everyday priestess. Practical\, spiritual and mystical\, she is a lover of the beautiful mess of being human – the dark and the light and everything in between. With her heartful and no bullshit approach\, Katy wants to help others to feel empowered to live a more deeply aligned and vibrant life – coming back to ourselves\, back to our true nature and back into relationship with life. Breathe\, slow down and listen. Let’s do this! \nJulia Samel \nJulia (she/her) is passionate about movement and dance. Through over 20 years teaching Brazilian Forró\, plus decades of exploration in Contact Improvisation\, 5 Rhythms and various free-flow practices\, she has developed “Moving Connections” inviting people to explore connections that support us to meet ourselves and others with authenticity and care\, welcoming all that we are in every moment. Julia holds space heart-fully and sensitively combining all she loves in everything she does\, bringing lightness and humour\, with a unique care and sensitivity for all those who attend. \nMadalaine Munro \nMadalaine (she/her) is a Sexologist specialising in attachment and the nervous system. She works with people who keep finding themselves in cycles of emotional unavailability\, insecure attachment\, or intimacy that never quite feels safe. She weaves together the sacred and science in a trauma-informed approach working with clients worldwide through coaching\, group programmes\, and retreats. Madalaine leads Embodied Love the sister conscious intimacy gathering at Leela for those 40 and under. \n“Having never attended a Leela event before\, I wasn’t sure what lay ahead. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed and able to relax. Despite challenges on the journey I took at Emergent Eros\, I felt supported and safe throughout the week and had a wonderful time learning\, growing and healing. I am already recommending it to friends and looking at how I can continue my own development.” – Patrick \nWhat you can expect\n\nIntimacy\nIntimacy is not something to perform or achieve — it is something to inhabit\, practise\, and feel. You will be guided by experienced facilitators of intimacy and relational practice\, touch and eros\, embodiment and movement\, offering pathways into deeper presence with yourself and with others.\nThis is an exploration of intimacy as a lived experience: sensing your body\, tracking your boundaries\, opening to connection\, and staying with what is true in the moment. Intimacy that is slow enough to be real\, spacious enough to include complexity\, and grounded enough to ripple into how you relate beyond the festival. \nCreativity\nCreativity flows through the festival in many forms — music\, ecstatic dance\, movement\, and sacred ceremonial space. These are not offered as performances to consume\, but as invitations to participate\, explore\, and express yourself in ways that feel authentic and alive.\nThe schedule offers a sense of the journey we will embark upon together\, while remaining responsive to what is emerging in the collective field\, allowing the festival to unfold with vitality and integrity. \nCommunity\nEmergent Eros is held within a strong container of care and collective support. The event is supported by a dedicated Care Team\, sharing pods\, and intentional periods of integration and restoration.\nTogether\, facilitators\, care team\, and participants co-create a field where depth\, safety\, and connection can grow — not as an ideal\, but as a lived experience of being human together.\nHow we do this matters. To support a space that feels safe enough for real exploration — and an experience that enlivens our intimacy and eros — we hold a clear Code of Engagement. This is a shared agreement we enter into as a community\, outlining how we care for ourselves\, one another\, and the collective space.\n\nBy joining the event\, you are agreeing to participate in and uphold these shared agreements. You can read the full Code of Engagement here.\nTo cultivate this sense of connection beyond the days we gather in person\, we come together for two Community Connection Calls in the lead-up to the event\, and an Integration Call afterwards — offering space to arrive resourced\, reflect on what has been lived\, and carry it into everyday life. \n\n\nThe Pillars of our Togetherness\nCuriosity\, Playfulness & Innocence\nReleasing old scripts and stories around sexuality and returning to a sense of original innocence. Letting go of assumptions\, expectations\, and preconceptions\, and inviting aliveness through curiosity and play. Moving beyond what we think we know and expanding into the emergent moment. \nPermission\, Acceptance & Attunement\nPermission to be you\, and to bring all of you into the space. Acceptance of difference in our embodiment and expression. Cultivating harmonious and respectful connections with Self\, Other\, and Spirit. \nDiversity & Inclusivity\nWe acknowledge that personal development spaces in the UK — particularly within Tantra and Sacred Sexuality — are predominantly White\, cis-gendered\, heterosexual\, and able-bodied. We are committed to fostering an environment that supports all beings in moving beyond inherited conditioning and unconscious bias\, towards a more inclusive and welcoming world — in service of liberation for all. \nMessiness & Humanity\nWe are not only individuals on our own journeys\, but social beings in a shared\, collective space. We acknowledge the complex — and sometimes messy — nature of human relating\, especially as we question assumptions and loosen long-held preconceptions in order to imagine new ways of being together. \nAwe & Reverence\nWe welcome a wider spectrum of human experience — from grief to joy\, from playfulness to reverence. Reconnecting with humility\, awe\, and wonder\, and remembering what it is to stand in service to life itself. \nMeet your Care Team \nLisa Collins \nLisa (she/her) is a qualified counsellor and coach with 20 years’ professional experience in Human Resources\, specialising in complex casework. \nFor the past eight years\, she has held sacred sexuality and intimacy spaces for individuals\, couples\, and groups\, and offers traditional Kambo ceremonies\, a transformational Amazonian frog medicine. Lisa loves nothing more than being in devotional service\, providing a loving\, safe space to experience your true nature and divinity within. \nClive Withers \nClive (he/him) is a somatic life coach\, writer and musician who plants one boot in the mud of the wild world — hills\, roots and soil — and the other in the interior fire of the self. His work explores the meeting place of the visceral and the philosophical. Trained in Tantra massage\, Clive brings grounded presence\, poetic sensibility and a steady nervous system to the living\, breathing field of Emergent Eros. \n \nEmily Barnard \nEmily (she/they) is an ever-curious human increasingly immersed in the weird and wonderful communities of the South West of England.

A cis woman who identifies as solo poly and pansexual. She delights in movement\, ocean dips\, gym and weights\, music and good food — all things that make her body feel alive.

Sorrel loves the crazy\, beautiful journey of life and values connecting deeply with others in mutual joy\, love and respect. She looks forward to supporting participants and tending the field of connection at Emergent Eros. \n“Emergent Eros was utterly transformational\, and that is because I felt so held and safe. I was able to drop into my body and trust the different processes offered by incredible facilitators. I have already raved about how amazing this retreat was\, because the friends who have seen me can see the brightness in my skin and eyes. I am SO much more alive\, and truly full of gratitude.” – Loveday \nMeet your Artists & Musicians \nDJ Anahata (Grant) \nDJ Anahata (he/him) is a resident DJ and facilitator for EcstaticDanceUK.

Insatiably curious\, Yoyo’s creativity invites communication – with the space\, the energy\, the body – that goes beyond words and opens up new perspectives. It’s not about the paintings\, it’s about what happens amidst the paintings. \nFran Loze \nFran comes from a family of musicians. She has performed and recorded music in a wide variety of genres\, with orchestras and ensembles\, for theatre productions\, English folk dances\, at festivals\, and for 5Rhythms and contact improvisation classes. Fran brings a wealth of experience\, sensitivity and creativity to her playing.  She loves to dance too and to explore the interplay between musicians and dancers; she likens it to a wordless conversation\, a co-creation and exploration of the space where inner worlds meet outer reality. \nDJ Wayne Powell \nWayne’s journey with music took him into the mid-Wales rave scene\, drawn by the pulse of underground culture and the spirit of the sound system. Some of his first sets were played on the back of carnival floats weaving together drum & bass and hardcore on vinyl. These days\, Wayne still carries that raw love for movement and rhythm\, but the intention has shifted. Stepping away from the haze that once surrounded the scene\, he now plays as part of the conscious dance wave – offering sets that are grounding\, uplifting\, and alive. \n“The workshop leaders were excellent: skilled\, caring\, and fully present. It felt like we were all on a shared journey\, opening our hearts and exploring intimacy in a way that felt safe\, respectful\, and well held. For me\, it created a deep sense of connection with myself and with others… I left feeling happier\, more confident\, and more loving… It truly was a powerful experience of intimacy in community\, and I’m so grateful I took part. I have beautiful new friends and an open heart to move forward in my life.” – Anya \nWho is this for? \n💜 You read the invitation and feel a sense of aliveness or resonance in your body. \n💜 You’re curious about exploring intimacy and sexuality in expansive\, emergent\, and relational ways. \n💜 You’ve already been on a journey of personal growth and feel a genuine call to explore intimacy\, sexuality\, and embodiment more deeply. \n💜 You have the capacity to care for yourself in a group space — including knowing when and how to ask for support. \n💜 You value being part of a culture that attends to the bigger picture\, including care\, consent\, inclusivity\, and diversity\, and you want to be in spaces that support this. \n  \nWho is this not for?\n💜 You feel bored\, confused\, or unmoved by this invitation. \n💜 You’re seeking a sexualised environment or casual sexual encounters rather than a relational\, consent-based container. \n💜 You’re completely new to personal development\, particularly in the realms of intimacy\, sexuality\, and embodiment. \n💜 You are currently in active trauma\, feel easily overwhelmed in group spaces\, or are unable to ask for support when needed. \n💜 You’re not interested in the wider relational and cultural context\, or in how your presence impacts others. \n” I left reminded how it is to experience the world from love” – Hagen \nPricing\, Reciprocity & Sustainability \nEmergent Eros is held with a high level of care\, attention\, and responsibility. This includes the support offered before the gathering\, the depth of facilitation during the event itself\, and the integration held afterwards. This level of care is central to the experience. \nWhile the true cost of offering this depth of care is higher\, our pricing reflects a balance between honouring the work involved and remaining mindful of the wider financial context in which many people are making choices.

We recommend having a clear conversation in advance about how you will navigate any triggers or challenges as a couple. \nDo I have to attend everything on the schedule?\nNo. We invite you to follow your own authority — to pace yourself\, honour your body and its needs\, and allow space for integration. Integration time is built into the schedule. \nDo I have to get naked?\nNo. You can attend the entire event with your clothes on. Some spaces and sessions may be clothing-optional\, which means others may choose to be naked.

We request that you honour this as part of the experience.Will there be a café?The Leela coffee shop will be open daily. Serving coffee and sweet treats.Will there be treatments?

The Wellbeing Centre will be open\, with qualified practitioners and therapists offering treatments during the event. \nHow is this different from the earlier Conscious Sexuality Festivals at The Leela Centre?\nAt Emergent Eros\, we are committed to creating and evolving a distinct approach to sexuality events. \nThis means that\, to the best of our capacity for an event of this scale: \n\nparticipants are supported to assess their readiness and resourcing before attending\npeople are encouraged to tune into their capacity and choose workshops accordingly\, rather than pushing through\nperiods of rest and integration are intentionally woven into the programme\na clear Code of Engagement supports group cohesion and safety\na Code of Conduct guides the Facilitation and Care Teams in their responsibility to the event\npower dynamics between team and participants are actively acknowledged and addressed\ngroup dynamics are held with awareness\, recognising their impact on choice and agency\n\nHow is this different/similar to Emergent Eros last year at Leela?\nWe’ve taken the feedback from the first Emergent Eros and evolved the offering to give you more choice\, more agency\, and more exploration. \nOver the course of the festival\, you have the choice of two streams of experience: Yang and Yin. \nYang: raising energy up\, the quality of fire\, enlivenment and expansion \nYin: drawing energy down\, the quality of water\, nourishment and restoration \nWorkshop to workshop you get to tune into what feels right for you. \nWill there be a Love Lounge/Garden of Earthly Delights? \nThere will be a held space in the evenings for sensual connection and exploration. The clear boundary of this space is no penetration. \nWhy is there an intake process? Why can’t I just book?\nWe want to support readiness and resourcing for all participants before they join the event. The intake process helps ensure that people are entering with awareness of their capacity\, needs\, and boundaries\, supporting a safer and more coherent group experience for everyone. \nCan I pay in instalments?\nYes. Monthly payment plans are available for all ticket types. Payments must be completed before the event begins.

SUMMARY:Biodanza: Radiant Balance - Yin & Yang
DESCRIPTION:Radiant Balance: Yin & Yang  \nA Biodanza Immersion in to the Heart \nwith Milarepa and Anna \nFriday May 22 – Sunday May 24 \nA Biodanza immersion through the portal of the heart- crafted with intention by Mila and Anna to reduce stress and mental fatigue and offer a deep nervous system reset. \nTogether we embody the divine polarities of yin and yang offering depth and surrender alongside creative force and direction. \nDiving in to the emotional and spiritual body – we encounter a heart that is tender and brave – a life rooted and yet free!  \nIn the Biodanza practice\, this sacred polarity guides healing and growth\, teaching us to move between openness and strength so that our innate wholeness can be felt and the joy of being alive is unleashed! \n\nThis weekend offers a held\, welcoming and heart opening space to connect with yourself and others – tapping in to the well compassion and resilience for a life well lived in harmony and balance.  \n\n\nWhat is Biodanza \nBiodanza is a system of human integration\, emotional development\, and renewal through music\, dance\, and authentic connections.  \nDeveloped by Rolando Toro in the 1960s. \nBiodanza encourages a joyful\, expressive way of living that enhances well-being and deepens relationships with oneself and others. \nThis is not about performance. It’s about remembering your aliveness\, moving from the heart\, and reconnecting with your essential vitality. \nRolando Toro \n\nWho is this for … \n✔️ Curious newcomers ready to taste the joy and depth of Biodanza \n✔️ Past students and graduates of Dorset School of Biodanza or other schools looking to reconnect \n✔️ Teachers seeking inspiration and community \n✔️ Lovers of movement\, music\, and embodied connection \n✔️ Supporters of the next generation of Biodanza facilitators \n\n\n\nMila and Anna bring a lively\, heart-led dance partnership that lights up the room: grounded presence meets playful curiosity\, steady holding meets spontaneous joy. Their shared energy and intuitive attunement create a safe\, electric field where dancers feel seen & encouraged to be authentically you! Together Mila and Anna weave warmth\, creativity and transcendence —sparking moments of laughter\, release and deep connection that ripple through the group and awaken fresh aliveness in every body….. \n\n\nWhat to Expect \nFriday: After a nourishing meal sourced from Leela’s grounds\, we settle into a grounding Vivencia of vitality and earth to drop into our bodies and the group. \nSaturday: Rise into restorative Yoga Nidra\, then move through two dance journeys that explore the expansive interplay of yin and yang — dancing affectivity & water\, sexuality & fire. \nSaturday Evening: Optional sauna\, improvisation with Mila\, sacred ceremony with Anna\, and other delightful offerings. \nSunday: Begin with nourishing Yoga Nidra\, then ascend into the realm of transcendence and air — dancing toward union\, oneness\, and a profound spiritual connection to Source. \nFinal integration Vivencia & sharing circle: to honour and digest the journey\, leaving you replenished in body\, heart\, and soul. \nThis is a weekend for experienced dancers and beginners alike and will feature four full length vivencias\, two each from Mila & Anna plus a Saturday evening happening to be decided. \nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nWhat We Will Explore … \nThroughout the weekend we exchange conscious touch and contact with yourself\, a partner\, small groups\, and the collective field as we work with the five lines of vivencia. \n• Earth & Vitality (yang): grounding practices that nourish stability and belonging. \n• Water & Affectivity (yin): receptive practices that soothe and restore emotional flow. \n• Fire & Sexuality (yang): expressive practices that ignite vitality\, play\, and joy. \n• Air & Transcendence (yin): opening practices that expand the heart toward communication with the divine. \nConscious touch weaves yin and yang — affectionate\, sensitive\, and invigorating; empathetic and enlivening — bringing balance and integration. Guided with respect and heart-led intention\, this full spectrum of elemental\, yin–yang contact is deeply healing\, restorative and life-affirming. \nThis workshop offers a full-body\, holistic reset of your nervous system\, leaving you feeling nurtured\, connected\, included\, loved\, and deeply refreshed. \n\nAnna Sadler\, facilitator \nBiodanza Teacher\, Soul Midwife\, Director of No One Dies Alone Cornwall C.I.C\n \n\nMy dance journey began at age three with formal training that laid the foundation for the healing service I now offer in Biodanza. I trained with Niraj at the Dorset School of Biodanza in 2017 and have been facilitating ever since. Biodanza\, for me\, is far more than movement — it is a journey of cultivating a compassionate heart. Based in Cornwall\, I lead women’s Biodanza\, family sessions\, and a trusted regular group with committed dancers. I’m passionate about creating sacred spaces where dancers are invited into soulful connection\, to shine both on and off the dance floor. \nI’m also Director and Founder of No One Dies Alone Cornwall C.I.C.\, where I facilitate bereavement circles\, grief dances\, and holistic end-of-life support\, including companionship for the dying. This work brings compassionate\, tender care to individuals and families at times that matter most\, and it deeply informs the empathy and presence I bring to all my teaching. \n\nMilarepa Burgin\, facilitator \nMy first experience of Biodanza was with Niraj during the Spring Festival at Osho Leela in 2006. That initial vivencia had a deeply profound effect on my life\, something which continues to resonate even now\, and I remember saying to Niraj “if you ever decide to train people in this\, you can count me in”. \nAfter almost 20 years of dancing\, with nearly 15 of those years as a facilitator\, it feels that life has come full-circle as we now welcome a new cohort to Osho Leela to begin a new cycle of this incredible training. Whether you see yourself as a future teacher or simply want to enhance and enrich your own life with greater levels of expression and connection\, the Biodanza facilitator training is\, in my opinion\, unparalleled in it’s depth and breadth and provides each participant with a unique insight into their own life and into the experience of living. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the dance floor and to a deeper understanding of just what it is to be alive. \n\nWhy This Workshop Matters \nIn a culture of constant overstimulation\, Radiant Balance offers a rare\, embodied pause to restore nervoussystem in to a place of harmony. By working with yin and yang through movement\, touch\, music\, and the four elements\, you’ll integrate emotional regulation\, vitality\, and presence—not just as a temporary relief but as lasting resources for daily life. Practiced in a held\, heartled container\, the retreat fosters real connection\, deeper selfunderstanding\, and creativity\, leaving you nourished\, grounded\, and more able to meet yourself and others with compassion and care. \n\n\nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nDetails \n\n\n\n——————————- \nBiodanza Weekends\n \nStart weekend: Friday May 22nd @ (Arrive from 5pm on the Friday to settle in\, dinner is at 7pm\, the training commences at 8.15pm) \nEnd: Sunday May 24th @ 5:00pm \n\n\nPrice weekend: £310 (includes workshop & food)\n \nEarly bird till May 1st: £280 \nNote: You can make a payment plan\, the total price should be full paid before the retreat is starting. \nAccommodation is not included in the price and can be selected separately during checkout via the booking link. \nCheck out our accommodation & facilities here. \n\n\n\n\nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel

SUMMARY:Life Tantra Experience - She and He are One
DESCRIPTION:She & He are One\nThe Sun and Moon within\nModule 3 of Life Tantra Experience Training Level \nFriday 22 – Sunday 24 May 2026\nThe Life Tantra Experience is a 4-workshop program specifically designed to support you on an authentic journey to embrace life and live orgasmically. \nTantra is about love. Tantra embraces life in all its aspects. Tantra loves the human being\, the man\, the woman\, YOU. Through this acceptance\, celebration and love can unfold in every detail of your daily life. \nTantra takes you to live in a higher state of consciousness\, transforming a mechanical life into a vital life experience\, full of joy and expansion as well as grounding and presence. \nWhat are we offering?\nThere is a wide variety of tools & methods we are using in these workshops: \n* Tantra Meditation\, Ritual & Ancient Wisdom\n* Healing & Heart Opening\n* Move beyond the Mind into Authentic Relating\n* Breathwork\n* Massage and Conscious Touch\n* Dance & Movement\n* Sharing Circles & Conscious Communication\n* Awakening your Senses & Body Painting\n* Connection with Nature \nBy embracing tantra as your lifestyle\, you will get:\n\nMore Aliveness & Vitality\nDeeper Understanding of your Body and Energy Flow\nTrust in your Instincts & Intuition to Make Conscious Decisions\nIncreased Sensitivity\nEnhanced Natural Wildness & Creativity\nKnowledge about Ancestral Tantra Wisdom\nIntegrated Meditations\, Rituals and Tantra Method in your Daily Life\nA Balance of Body\, Mind & Emotions\nA Fresh Imprint in your Somatic Memory\nA Higher Quality of Life\, Embracing its Simplicity and the many Flavors\nMore Fulfillment in your Sexuality through Presence & Love\nA Coming Back Home to Nature and your Natural Self\nNourishing Connections\, and Spiritual Intimacy between you and your Friends or Partners.\nExperience what it means to Living Orgasmically\n\nModule III\, “She and He are One” – The Sun and Moon within \nMay 22 – 24\, 2026 \nWe are discovering and exploring the integration of the inner masculine and feminine in a playful way. Tantra states that each woman carries an internal masculine\, and each man an internal feminine. In ancient tantric teachings this is referred to as ‘Ardhanarishvara’. Science confirms what tantra discovered millennia ago\, that we have 46 chromosomes\, 23 come from the mother\, and 23 from the father. This dance of bipolarity exists in every human being and in nature\, such as the sun and the moon\, day and night\, winter and summer. This module will take you from duality to unity. \n\nBalance female and male polarities within \nHarmonise your energies of action and stillness\nIf you are a woman\, you will discover and integrate your inner masculinity\nIf you are a man\, you will discover and integrate your inner femininity\nGo beyond the duality of mind\, and become one\nTransform male and female limited conditioning\, to the true male and female essential qualities\nFeel empathy and understanding in your relationships \nLearn how to rise in love instead of “falling in love”\nLive accordingly to the rhythm of the moon (female energy)\nLive inspired by the sun cycles (male energies)\nExperience the vast inner sky. No sun\, no moon\, rejoicing with the first morning\, and the first evening star\, timeless union\n\nWhat participants say:\n\nIt was beautiful. The sessions were really lovely\, very gentle. We did some creativity workshops as well as healing\, breathing exercises and chakra meditations. Tantra in the West has a really strong s*xual flavour and it’s not really about that. \nDimitri\nIt’s definitely an in-depth exploration and a journey\, which you go on with a group\, so it’s a beautiful container to grow in over time. It was really helpful to learn more about circulating energy through the chakras and to get precise guidance. It felt really expansive and exciting\, and a very interesting way to play with energy. It was a very gentle\, subtle and sweet learning experience. \nAurora\nOne of the things I have loved most about this experience is having the old school tantra\, rituals\, devotion\, working with energy\, breathwork and intention.  this is really meaningful for me because it is hard to find that in England in my experience as there is a lot of neo tantra so it is lovely to have something that the richeness and depth of ancient tradition and wisdom. I also want to share how beautiful it was for me to have Maite singing with her guitar to support us in song. There is something very special about singing in community and to be in devotion through music and song so i’ve really enjoye that she brought her gifts. I’ve had a lovely experience. \nHarmony Isgolde\nIt has been a beautiful four module experience for me\, especially to do this with my beloved; to look at the shadows and the connection between us and how to deepen that\, and also the shadows within myself between the feminine and the masculine has been really great to explore. The whole experience has been really enlightening and brings beauty and joy to the heart. \nPremesh\nI have just completed the LTE and I am so full of love\, I feel amazing. It is such a safe\, gentle space that has been held here. This last 5 months there have been beautiful connections\, beautiful friendships… I highly recommend this to anybody. \nCressida\nI have had a really deep\, meaningful and spiritual journey into myself that has helped me to understand me and others and to open my heart to everyone. \nPrem TuriyaLife Tantra Experience – Training Level 1 Workshop Dates 2026:\n\n\nMarch 20 – 22: Module I “The Tantra Map” Cosmic Blueprint for Living Fully\nApril 17 – 19: Module II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”\nMay 22 – 24: Module III “She and He are One” The Sun and Moon within\nJune 26 – 28: Module IV\, “Devotional Tantra” – Union\, Love & Meditation\n\nPlease note – This is not a facilitator training.

SUMMARY:Beltane Bhakti Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Beltane Bhakti Gathering 2026The Divine Mystery Theme:  \nEmbrace What Cannot Be Explained \nJoin us for a weekend of mystery\, devotion\, and community. \nFriday 1st May to Monday 4th May 2026 \n(Also day tickets available) \nAs blossoms return and the earth breathes new life\, this year’s Beltane Bhakti Gathering begins on Beltane itself\, a traditional celebration of spring\, renewal\, and fertility\, an auspicious moment to open our hearts to the great mystery of life. \nOur theme this year is The Divine Mystery. \nLife is never fully graspable\, there is always something greater moving through us\, holding us\, and guiding us. \nWhen we learn to rest in this mystery\, we open to a deeper sense of trust\, presence\, and connection. In bowing to its vastness and allowing it to guide us in ways we cannot always understand\, we can become comfortable with the unknown. \nAt the Beltane Bhakti Gathering\, you are invited to step into this mystery for yourself. Through devotional chanting\, sacred ceremony\, meditation\, yoga\, delicious food\, and chai\, we come together in a joyful celebration of the larger perspective: that life is both practical and infinite\, grounded and cosmic. \nWhether Bhakti is new to you or already close to your heart\, you are warmly invited. Come as you are. Come to learn\, to celebrate\, and to experience the mystery of life in the company of a loving community.  \nYou are invited to 4 days of dawn to dusk chanting\, dancing\, prayer and connection. \nArriving 4 pm on Friday 1st May 2026\, dinner 5pm\, opening ceremony 6 pm. \nDeparting after lunch on Monday 4th May 2026. \nCamping and indoor accommodation available. \nLimited concession tickets available. \nThe Pujas \nDuring the gathering\, we will share three main pujas together. These sit at the heart of the weekend — simple\, devotional spaces where we come together in practice\, offering\, and attention. \nFriday Evening — Ganesh Puja\nWe begin on Friday evening with a Ganesh puja\, opening the space and marking the start of the gathering. Ganesh is traditionally connected with beginnings and the removal of obstacles\, and this first puja helps us arrive\, settle\, and enter the weekend with clarity. \nSaturday — Shivlingam Puja\nOn Saturday\, we share a Shivlingam puja. Centred around Shiva and the lingam\, this puja connects us with the deeper mystery of life — beyond concepts or explanations — something we can share and experience together. \nSunday — Tripura Sundari Devi Puja\nOn Sunday\, we close with a puja to Tripura Sundari Devi. This honours the feminine aspect of the divine\, often associated with beauty\, harmony\, and the fullness of life. It offers a gentle and beautiful way to close the gathering\, with the intention of carrying something of this experience into daily life and sharing it with others. \nLord Shiva \nIn Hindu tradition\, Lord Shiva is known as the great god of transformation\, embodying both creation and dissolution. He reflects the mystery itself\, the presence behind everything. Together with Shakti\, the feminine power of life\, he shows us that existence is both stillness and energy. At the gathering we will honour this union in a Lingam puja\, offering to the stone that symbolises the infinite beyond form. \nIn the pujas we wash\, offer perfume\, feed\, and honour the sacred. These are the same things we do in daily life: washing\, caring\, feeding\, breathing\, moving. These rituals remind us that nothing is separate\, every act can be sacred. \n\nDuring this festival\, we will: \nSing our hearts open in devotional kirtan. \nParticipate in Sacred ceremonies (Puja)  \nExplore inspiring workshops and practices. \nGather in community and celebration. \nShare laughter and chai in the sunshine. \nWander the colourful flea market. \nRest in the mystery that breathes through all.  \nBeyond words. Beyond understanding. Within you. \nFacilitators so far – more to come!\nTino & Tara (Your Hosts)KirtanTino and Tara grew up immersed in the teachings of Haidakhan Babaji and the practice of kirtan. Through their dedicated practice\, they have been reviving traditional chants from their guru’s ashram in the Himalayas \, as well as preserving mantras sung by elder devotees. We are so happy to have this next generation of bhaktas with us (who also organised this event\, spending countless hours dealing with practical details so that we can be together for this gathering — love in action)Shyam SundarKirtanShyam Sundar is a musician based in Italy. His music centers around meditation\, mantras\, and spirituality. He started learning music when he was fourteen\, and his sounds cultivate a deep awareness of oneself while connecting with the divine. We are grateful to have Shyam with us all the way from Italy.Léonore KirtanLéonore is a musician from Belgium\, she learned the violin and sang a lot in her childhood\, but then left the music for nearly 15 years. She found her voice back a few years ago through deep inner work\, and started to play the guitar again and sing a lot of medicine music.\n‘’Kirtan came to me recently and it felt like my soul found her way back home’’\n‘’This will be a first time for me\, so I am very happy and honoured to play at the Beltane Bhakti Gathering and to connect our hearts together through music’’Dhanyo Scholten (Dharmananda)KirtanDhanyo\, known as Dharmananda\, grew up within the loving embrace of the Haidakhan Babaji community\, which also founded the Sada Shiva Dham Ashram in Holland. Practicing Sanskrit mantras and singing them as part of his daily life\, his musical journey began over 30 years ago when he first played lead harmonium.\nSince 2007\, Dharmananda has been a familiar presence every friday evening at the Svaha Yoga studio in Amsterdam. His dedication to kirtan and mantra …Read More\nchanting has built a steady following in and around Amsterdam. He regularly hosts kirtans\, ​​bringing people together to connect through music and practice.We are happy to have Dharmananda with us once again at the Beltane Bhakti Gathering as a musician. With years of experience and a deep love for music\, he has a real talent for tuning in with the audience\, creating a beautiful space where everyone feels safe and welcome. Whether in his home studio\, at the Sada Shiva Dham Ashram\, or at bigger gatherings like this\, his kirtans are always full of heart. \nSivani MataKirtan & Yoga NidraSivani Mata is an artist who is moved by a sensory and elemental exploration of life through practice that evokes the liminal experience of trance-like states of consciousness\, and the centring of the awareness in heart as the seat of truth within.\nShe believes in this process of deep inner work as a way to cultivate a harmonic relationship with the Earth\, and feels that these practices pave the way to building the relationship of self love and acceptance which is the foundation to a healing loving relationship with the land. …Read more\nSivani Mata is a student of bhakti yoga – the path of union with creation through the heart – particularly through the practice of Kirtan – collective creation of Music as Medicine using the repetition of simple powerful mantra at its core.She has been sharing this practice regularly with groups since 2009 and is forever grateful for those who have inspired and encouraged her on this path. www.sivanimata.co.uk \nShambo & VedaKirtanShambo and Veda have been part of their family Kirtan band\, “Goma\,” since childhood\, with Kirtan flowing through their lives as naturally as breath. Their music is deeply rooted in tradition. Shambo sings and plays the harmonium and dholak\, while Veda primarily plays the dholak and other percussion instruments. Together\, they form a powerful and heartfelt duo.\nKirtan is second nature to them\, and they travel wherever they are invited\, sharing their love and devotion with their listeners. Their music is deeply inspired by their guru\, Haidakhan Babaji\, from the Himalayas. You can hear their love for him in every note they play\, as his presence fills their Kirtan with a sacred energy. Through their music\, they open the hearts of all who listen\, creating an atmosphere of spiritual connection and peace.Ida & MaringoKirtanIda and Maringo met at the Haidhakan Babaji community in the Netherlands and are exploring musical collaborations through their shared belief in the unifying power of music. They look forward to sharing their unique flavor of Kirtan with everybody at the Beltane Bhakti Gathering.\nIda\, a musician\, psychologist\, and yogini\, has a strong and soulful voice that will make you feel right at home. She expresses deep devotion to the Divine Mother\, and with her sound she invites embodiment\, connection\, and compassion. Maringo\, a multi-instrumentalist\, finds his inspiration in various musical traditions from all over the world. With African\, Brazilian\, and Indian influences\, he uses his voice and a combination of traditional and contemporary instruments to bridge the gap between cultures and celebrate diversity.\nTogether\, they offer a blend of devotional depth and world music influences.Tim ChaliceKirtanTim Chalice has been leading Kirtan for 20 years\, appearing at many bhakti and yoga festivals\, gatherings and retreats\, as well as releasing two Kirtan CDs. Tim’s heartfelt music offers a space for stillness\, joy\, and deep connection. Blending ancient mantras with soulful melodies\, Tim’s music serves as a bridge — connecting tradition with contemporary spiritual practice. His gentle presence and intuitive musicality create an inclusive and uplifting environment for all.Marieke VersteegenKirtanMarieke has been drawn to the Bhakti Yoga path ever since her yoga journey started and has been regularly offering kirtan in Amsterdam for quite some years now. Her first kirtan experience\, many years ago in Glastonbury\, was so deeply moving and heart-opening\, so full of joy\, that she knew from that moment that this was her path. It was like coming home\, a deep remembrance. Not long after that\, she came to the Babaji ashram in the Netherlands which was another very powerful and transformative experience. Ever since then the Haidakhan tradition has and continues to play an important and inspiring role in her bhakti journey. Marieke often travels to the UK to visit Glastonbury or to attend different kirtan or bhakti events.Lilavati RoseKirtanFor over three decades\, Lilavati Rose has walked the path of devotion as a bhakta in the Radha–Krishna tradition weaving the essence of bhakti into every aspect of her life and service. Rooted in deep spiritual practice\, she honours the heart of the tradition while embracing the wisdom of many lineages\, allowing her work to become a meeting place of devotion\, unity\, and sacred remembrance.\nLilavati holds circles\, gatherings\, and devotional events that invite people into connection—with themselves\, with community\, and with the Divine. Her approach is inclusive\, heart-led\, and infused with the timeless love of Radha and Krishna\, guiding others toward inner stillness.Anahata SvaraKirtanAnahata Svara are a kirtan group that has been gathering in Wales for over ten years\, offering spaces of shared devotion through sound and mantra. They often sing in harmony within the call and response\, allowing the mantras to flow within sound and resonance. Their practice is shaped by love for a number of spiritual masters\, held not as separate paths but as different expressions of the same underlying presence. Through kirtan\, they offer a space where these paths can meet in sound. They aim to create a space where people can gather\, sing if they wish\, and rest in something more sacred. The intention is simple: to sit together\, to sing in devotion\, and to let the heart open in its own time.Mark RobsonSound EngineerMark is known as one of the founding members of the world ~ fusion group Kangaroo Moon. He is a multi~instrumentalist & composer\, whose work spans over 40 years\, of many styles\, and genres. Here he takes music into Mantra~ influenced melodic patterns\, and textures\, with Reverence to Sri Haidakhan Babaji.\nAs well as sharing his music\, Mark will also be holding the space as our sound engineer for the gathering — making sure all the musicians sound their very best and helping everything flow beautifully. And this year’s workshops!\nMaiteShakti Flowing YogaMaite began her journey into meditation\, yoga\, movement\, dance\, and personal development in 1990\, following a call for integration and a deep personal healing journey. She transitioned from her work as a nurse in Spain to training as a Movement and Drama Therapist in the Sesame Method in London\, alongside studying various bodywork techniques. Shakti Dance\, the Yoga of Dance\, and Kundalini Yoga remain her core yoga practices.\nMaite creates nurturing\, healing\, and life-affirming spaces where people can connect deeply with the conscious life force that flows through all things—Shakti. She brings this alive through her work in massage\, yoga\, kirtan\, and meditation\, offering experiences that honor and awaken the body\, heart\, and spirit.Shakti Flowing Yoga\nShakti Flowing Yoga is a dance-inspired\, movement-based practice rooted in Shakti Dance—the Yoga of Dance—and Kundalini Yoga.</p><p>We journey together in a body-mind-heart exploration\, slowing the flow of movement and tuning into the natural rhythm of our own breath. By releasing judgment and the urge to perform\, and embracing kindness\, curiosity\, and acceptance\, we step into a space of deep presence with the body exactly as it is.</p><p>Each 90-minute session unfolds with mindful tuning in\, flowing floor stretches\, standing movements\, free dance\, and restorative relaxation—inviting you to move\, breathe\, and be fully present.</p> \nBen EydmannReceptive EmbodimentBen is a yoga teacher\, psychodynamic therapist\, sound therapist and butoh practitioner with a passion for embodied inquiry. He enjoys drawing on a wide range of techniques such as yoga\, Gestalt\, butoh inspired improvisation and subtle life resonances to help people soften\, listen\, and discover movement that emerges naturally beyond performance.Receptive Embodiment\nWhat does it mean to be moved rather than move? What shifts when we stop performing and begin listening? Can emptiness become a form of devotion? Drawing on yoga\, my personal butoh practice this session explores the body as a vessel for the Divine Mystery rather than its director. Through slow warm-ups\, sensory attunement\, and improvised movement\, we open to subtle impulses\, inner images\, and what quietly resonantes beneath.</p><p>No experience necessary. Optional contact if it feels right. \nJan DayExploring Connection & CommunicationWe are so happy that Jan Day will be joining us again at this year’s gathering. With decades of experience in the field of conscious intimacy and relationships\, Jan creates warm\, grounded spaces for exploring connection and communication.Exploring Connection & Communication\nThe workshops will offer simple\, practical tools — like visioning\, deep listening\, and self-reflection — to help us understand our patterns in relationships and explore ways to bring more honesty\, care\, and awareness into them. \nDevamurtiAuthentic Relating\nDevamurti is trained in classical tantric yoga and a range of meditation systems – yogic\, Buddhist\, and non-denominational. As a mindfulness-based core-process psychotherapist\, he’s deeply passionate about the practice of authentic relating.\nHis teachings are rooted in the non-dual Shaivic traditions\, and his nomadic spiritual journey has taken him across continents\, through deep shadow work\, trauma healing\, and profound inquiry. His sessions are open to all levels and invite both depth and playful exploration.Authentic Relating\nDevamurti will be offering an Authentic Relating session lasting 2.5 hours – edgy and exciting\, this simple yet powerful Svadhyaya (self-study) practice explores what it truly feels like to be me\, right now\, in this moment… and we do it relationally – face to face\, heart to heart\, in connection with partners and in groups.This process can uncover our personality tendencies (vasanas)\, subconscious imprints (samskaras)\, and the limiting patterns that keep us stuck. By bringing them into the light of awareness\, we open space for deep transformation.This practice is Fire – not to be missed! \nLilavati RoseBeltane Goddess JourneyFor over three decades\, Lilavati Rose has walked the path of devotion as a bhakta in the Radha–Krishna tradition weaving the essence of bhakti into every aspect of her life and service. Rooted in deep spiritual practice\, she honours the heart of the tradition while embracing the wisdom of many lineages\, allowing her work to become a meeting place of devotion\, unity\, and sacred remembrance.\nLilavati holds circles\, gatherings\, and devotional events that invite people into connection—with themselves\, with community\, and with the Divine. Her approach is inclusive\, heart-led\, and infused with the timeless love of Radha and Krishna\, guiding others toward inner stillness.Beltane Goddess Journey with the Goddesses Parvati & Rihannon\nA journey weaving together the wisdom of this land and the ancient Vedic traditions. \nAs we gather at Beltane\, we honour Rhiannon — a goddess of these lands — alongside Parvati\, representing the eternal presence of Shakti. \nTogether\, they form a bridge between traditions — a meeting of earth and spirit\, land and lineage.  \n \nOliveSpirituality vs ConsumerismOlive\nOlive is a 22-year-old bibliophile currently living in Germany. She has been coming to the Bhakti Gatherings with her mum and sister since she was 15 and finds them to be incredibly special spaces of connection and joy. This is the first time she has contributed to the programme\, offering a workshop titled “Spirituality vs Consumerism: a look at altar spaces”—an idea that grew out of a university project during her English Literature studies.Marieke MeulenbeldYoga Nidra & SoundMore about the workshop: Yoga Nidra & Sound\nLet’s rest together\, honouring our natural rhythms of rest\, repair and regeneration. In this gentle practice we explore the nourishing state of yoga nidra — an invitation into deep rest\, where body and mind can soften and restore sleep\, vitality and creativity. \nThe session is guided by Marieke\, medical doctor and yogini\, trained in teaching yoga nidra and inspired by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli. The practice will be supported by beautiful live music from accompanying musicians\, creating a warm and spacious soundscape for rest. \nYoga Nidra is accessible to everyone and meets you exactly where you are. \nPlease bring a warm blanket and\, if you have one\, a cushion.  \n \nShaku BurrelLaughter Yoga with Sha ha ha kuMore about the workshop: Laughter Yoga\nJoin Me for a Laughter Yoga Session! What is it ? Laughter Yoga combines playful laughter exercises with yogic breathing (Pranayama) to boost your mood\, reduce stress\, and improve overall well-being.

No yoga mat needed—just bring a bottle of water and a belly full of laughter!  \nCome Let’s laugh together! Don’t miss it! \n \nNartan RoseYoga NidraMore about the workshop: Yoga Nidra\nNartan Rose is a qualified Yoga and Yoga Nidra instructor in the Satyananda tradition. \nYoga Nidra is a yogic relaxation method that takes you into a tranquil space between being awake and asleep. It’s a lying down yoga practice where all you have to do is follow verbal instructions which guide you into a deeply restful state. \nThe practice has been shown to slow down the brain waves\, inviting the nervous system to rest in parasympathetic mode\, and so the practice stimulates a healing response in the body. \nOver time\, you may find that you: \n\nSleep better\nFeel less stressed and anxious\nShift more easily away from unhelpful\, “stuck” patterns of thought\nExperience sharper clarity of mind\nGet less triggered and reactive\nHave lower blood pressure\n\nThe Bhakti Gathering offers a glimpse into the timeless wisdom of the Vedic way of life. In a world that often prioritises achievement and individuality\, Bhakti reminds us of something deeper — that true fulfilment is found not in separation\, but in connection. \nIn these times when the world can feel divided and uncertain\, coming together in love and simplicity is a radical act. The Bhakti Gathering is a space to remember what connects us — beyond beliefs\, backgrounds\, and opinions. \nHere we share simple moments: singing\, eating\, listening\, and caring for one another. Through community and devotion\, we remember the ancient truth that together we are stronger\, kinder\, and more whole. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE HERE!Powered by Workshop Angel \nDAY TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE!Details Bhakti Gathering 2026 \nThe event is run by volunteers\, and we’ve intentionally kept the ticket prices as low as possible\, to cover fixed costs.

SUMMARY:Living Oneness Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Sweat Lodge Weekend\nA shamanic experience through the Four Winds and the Native American Sweat Lodge \nwith Ranjana & friends\nThursday 23 April – Sunday 26 April\n\nThis retreat is an invitation to return to nature\, both within and around us. \nIt is a journey through the four directions of the Andean Medicine Wheel\, inspired by the Four Winds\, the four elements\, the four seasons\, and the four moon cycles\, together with the experience of the Native American Sweat Lodge from the Northern lineage. \nThe rhythms of nature offer direction and meaning to our lives. The Sweat Lodge supports a deep process of purification and integration\, bringing us back into contact with what is whole. \nIn ancestral cultures\, human beings lived as Tribe\, guided by the rhythms of nature and sensing the presence of the Great Spirit in trees\, animals\, plants\, minerals\, and one another. Life was met with reverence\, respect\, and care\, rather than seen as something to be exploited for profit\, as often happens in modern society. \nThe Cosmo-Vision invites us to remember this way of living: reconnecting with the Tribe\, where each person is valued\, respected\, and recognised for their unique contribution to the whole. \nNature and Cosmo-Vision are one.  \nThrough this connection\, we see our planet\, Mother Earth\, as part of the greater cosmos\, and the human being as an earthly expression of the stars. \nThis experience is an opportunity to feel alive in your body\, embrace nature within\, feel deep gratitude for the gift of life and start living and honouring your own destiny and soul calling. \n  \nThe Universal Womb\n \nWe enter the lodge\, The Universal Womb\, with respect and humbly to feel the magnificence of Mother Earth and nature.\n\n \n\nIn the Lodge\, you will experience the power and the sweetness of the four elements; earth\, water\, fire\, and air. \nAn experience to go deeply into your being through four rounds of The Sweat Lodge. \nHot volcanic rocks are placed in the center\, and water is poured over the rocks to produce steam.  \nHerbs\, typically sage or copal\, are added to aid the cleansing and experiential process.  \nYou can receive healing\, tribal unity\, love\, expansion in nature\, and a vast silence. \nThis retreat supports you to: \n\nShining your life\nIntegrate the rhythms of nature into daily\, monthly\, and seasonal life\nLiving with dignity\, coherence\, and inner alignment\nReconnect with inspiration through the beauty of nature\nEmbracing\, seeing your natural talents and share them\nFeeling more grounded\, and present in everyday life\nGain clarity around your life purpose\nReceive loving support\, strength\, and belonging through the Tribe\nOpening to a renewed vision for your life\n\nWhat are we offering to Humanity?\n\nA contribution to deeper contentment and peace—for individuals\, communities\, the whole world and and all beings\nPrayer and intention for a return to inner and collective harmony\, recognising that all beings are interconnected: humans\, animals\, plants\, and the living rhythms of nature\n\nWhat participants say:\nDuring the summer I was fireman at the Sweat Lodge in the grounds of Osho Leela. The Sweat Lodge was facilitated by two Shaman\, Ranjana and Tarisha with great love and awareness. I was helped at the fire by my friend Mel\, together we collected the logs and gathered the rocks. We laid the fire a big cradle in line with entrance of SL. The participants were led in some beautiful rituals that connected us all. Then they all placed a rock on the fire\, and we lit the fire\, a truly magical moment. After two or more hours the rocks were red hot. When the Shaman were ready hot rocks were passed into the lodge one by one. what an experience for us outside tending the fire and rocks. Thank you.Chris Pearse (Premen)\, Gilingham\, Dorset (UK)Participating in a Sweat lodge ceremony\,  held by Ranjana and (Tarisha) I found to be a deeply profound experience \nGoing through the discomfort of the heat\, with others was a very bonding and supportive environment \nDuring the different rounds we were supported by chanting\, singing & drumming\, allowing me to surrender and let go more into meditation and connection with myself \nIt was a beautiful experience sitting on the earth\, under the stars and by the fire\, fully immersed in nature. \nThe ceremony left me feeling cleansed both physically and emotionally\, and my spirit feeling vibrant and alive. \n Karuna Louisa Marsh\nI’ve now experienced three beautiful workshops by Ranjana. In each case\, it was a magical experience\, a really wonderful sense that you were benefiting from the wisdom of different ancient practices\, all of which explored the same fundamental truths about the masculine and the feminine. In the two workshops where I was with my partner\, Ranjana’s wonderful facilitation helped us become even closer\, and discover new ways to connect. We were no longer simply ourselves\, but somehow tapped into a universal energy that manifested itself in our bodies. It really was special. \nStuart\, UK\nMy experience with Ranjana was powerful\, the Tantra workshop raised my awareness to the feminine energy which is within me. I felt energized\, confident and had a lot of fun! It was easy to dive into it and let go. Ranjana is a great teacher\, caring and passionate. I recommend this workshop to everyone.

Tantra embraces life in all its aspects. Tantra loves the human being\, the man\, the woman\, YOU. Through this acceptance\, celebration and love can unfold in every detail of your daily life.\n\n \n\n\nTantra takes you to live in a higher state of consciousness\, transforming a mechanical life into a vital life experience\, full of joy and expansion as well as grounding and presence. \n\nWhat are we offering?\nThere is a wide variety of tools & methods we are using in these workshops: \n* Tantra Meditation\, Ritual & Ancient Wisdom\n* Healing & Heart Opening\n* Move beyond the Mind into Authentic Relating\n* Breathwork\n* Massage and Conscious Touch\n* Dance & Movement\n* Sharing Circles & Conscious Communication\n* Awakening your Senses & Body Painting\n* Connection with Nature \nBy embracing tantra as your lifestyle\, you will get:\n\nMore Aliveness & Vitality\nDeeper Understanding of your Body and Energy Flow\nTrust in your Instincts & Intuition to Make Conscious Decisions\nIncreased Sensitivity\nEnhanced Natural Wildness & Creativity\nKnowledge about Ancestral Tantra Wisdom\nIntegrated Meditations\, Rituals and Tantra Method in your Daily Life\nA Balance of Body\, Mind & Emotions\nA Fresh Imprint in your Somatic Memory\nA Higher Quality of Life\, Embracing its Simplicity and the many Flavors\nMore Fulfillment in your Sexuality through Presence & Love\nA Coming Back Home to Nature and your Natural Self\nNourishing Connections\, and Spiritual Intimacy between you and your Friends or Partners.\nExperience what it means to Living Orgasmically\n\nModule II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”  \nApril 17 – 19\, 2026 \nIn Tantra the body is viewed as our temple and the senses are the doorways to enter within. Through this experience the nervous system is relaxing and the energy can move softly. We learn how to deeply listen to our body and become more sensitive\, expanding our physical\, vital and etheric energy. Being present in the senses and the body stops the mental narrative\, and returns us to the simple and natural Being. By awakening cellular memory through the senses and body awareness\, life is embraced in joy and gratitude. \n\nRediscover the wisdom of your own body\, including physical\, etheric\, emotional\, mental\, and mystic energetic fields\nUnlock your true energetic potential\nRecognise your body as a Temple; earth my body\, water my blood\, air my breath and fire my spirit\nHonor desire and passion \nLearn the 8 levels of consciousness in tantra\, from senses to superconsciousness \nNourish your skin and soul through loving massage and gentle touch\nOpen your senses and absorb the natural and innocent beauty around\nHeal insecurities and shame relating to your body and self-perception \nCreate safety to give and receive appreciation\, and learn how to see yourself and others through the heart\nFeel confident in your own temple\, means start feeling more safe and confident in your body\nIntegrate micro-practices for your daily life\, which supports you to be more and more present\nExperience an ecstatic level of consciousness through body\, senses and soul \nLearn how to create a Sacred Temple for lovemaking\nSee the other human being as a Temple\, a doorway to Mahamudra; the Great Gesture with existence\n\nWhat participants say:\n\nIt was beautiful. The sessions were really lovely\, very gentle. We did some creativity workshops as well as healing\, breathing exercises and chakra meditations. Tantra in the West has a really strong s*xual flavour and it’s not really about that. \nDimitri\nIt’s definitely an in-depth exploration and a journey\, which you go on with a group\, so it’s a beautiful container to grow in over time. It was really helpful to learn more about circulating energy through the chakras and to get precise guidance. It felt really expansive and exciting\, and a very interesting way to play with energy. It was a very gentle\, subtle and sweet learning experience. \nAurora\nOne of the things I have loved most about this experience is having the old school tantra\, rituals\, devotion\, working with energy\, breathwork and intention.  this is really meaningful for me because it is hard to find that in England in my experience as there is a lot of neo tantra so it is lovely to have something that the richeness and depth of ancient tradition and wisdom. I also want to share how beautiful it was for me to have Maite singing with her guitar to support us in song. There is something very special about singing in community and to be in devotion through music and song so i’ve really enjoye that she brought her gifts. I’ve had a lovely experience. \nHarmony Isgolde\nIt has been a beautiful four module experience for me\, especially to do this with my beloved; to look at the shadows and the connection between us and how to deepen that\, and also the shadows within myself between the feminine and the masculine has been really great to explore. The whole experience has been really enlightening and brings beauty and joy to the heart. \nPremesh\nI have just completed the LTE and I am so full of love\, I feel amazing. It is such a safe\, gentle space that has been held here. This last 5 months there have been beautiful connections\, beautiful friendships… I highly recommend this to anybody. \nCressida\nI have had a really deep\, meaningful and spiritual journey into myself that has helped me to understand me and others and to open my heart to everyone. \nPrem TuriyaLife Tantra Experience – Training Level 1 Workshop Dates 2026:\n\n\nMarch 20 – 22: Module I “The Tantra Map” Cosmic Blueprint for Living Fully\nApril 17 – 19: Module II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”\nMay 22 – 24: Module III “She and He are One” The Sun and Moon within\nJune 26 – 28: Module IV\, “Devotional Tantra” – Union\, Love & Meditation\n\nPlease note – This is not a facilitator training.

Although the bodywork method is deep the therapist is in communication and is continuously adjusting the pressure to what you feel comfortable with. The sessions help me integrate everything that is happening in my body. They help me to experience and let go of emotions\, in a way that new insights and trauma release happens.’ \nRick Schifferstein\, Associate Professor\, USA \n\nBook Training and Accommodation Here!An invitation From Satyarthi\nCreator of the M.E.R. technique and trainer \nWelcome to Myofascial Energetic Release Training\, the culmination of nearly 50 years of my life spent learning\, practicing and teaching deep bodywork to over 10\,000 students. \nA journey which began when I was a professional dancer in San Francisco. The daily training was intense\, and the physical demands took a huge toll on my body\, leaving my muscles tight\, sore\, and aching. It was during this time that I discovered the profound relief and release that bodywork brought me from my rigorous training schedule. \nMy first exploration into the world of bodywork began by learning and practicing massage in 1970. This experience ignited my passion and by 1971 I had trained in postural integration and started giving regular sessions. It was becoming clear to me by this point that bodywork was my true calling and would become my life’s work. \nThe “Co-creation” of the ‘Rebalancing Bodywork Approach’ \nDrawing from the vast knowledge I had gained over many years of studying human anatomy and exploring diverse healing schools\, modalities\, and bodywork techniques\, I co-created the renowned system of bodywork called Rebalancing. This integrates various approaches and has earned international recognition. \nThe Trainers \nKetu BoThe MER training in Scandinavia takes place in Osho Risk\, which is a beautiful therapy center in Brædstrup in Denmark. They offer accommodation during the training. \nKetu Bø Ketu first trained as a therapist with Veeresh Yuson in the Osho Humaniversity in the Netherlands\, specializing in bodywork\, emotional expression\, dance and movement. As a staff member he led workshops in the Humaniversity as well as internationally for many years. After studying Postural Integration body-psychotherapy he trained with Satyarthi Peloquin to become a MER practitioner. Next to having his own therapy practice in the Netherlands he is now leading the MER training in Scandinavia with Ulla Thordal. He graduated as a PAS (Postural Alignment Specialist) in the Egoscue Method and is a NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model) practitioner. He teaches group-dynamics and character-styles at Bodymind\, the leading institute for body-oriented psychotherapy in the Netherlands. Ketu is passionate about his work and has a profound interest in the connection between mind\, body and soul. He draws from 30 years of experience as a group leader\, meditator\, bodyworker\, and therapist and meets people with warmth\, curiosity and humor. By keeping his pulse on the latest research into fascia\, the autonomic nervous system and the connection between them he keeps the MER training in Denmark up-to-date on what is happening in the world of bodywork. “Once you learn to ground in your body and to trust what you are feeling and experiencing there your life will take on a different quality and you will learn to live in the here-and-now\, rather than being stuck in old patterns and traumas”.Ulla ThordalUlla is a MER certified practitioner and the organizer of the training in Scandinavia. Ulla is living and working in Denmark. She is always looking for the good in people\, finding the reason why things are the way they are. Her curious nature and desire to understand people really defines her both as a private person and as a body therapist. She is married to Brian since 2002 and has 4 children. Ulla works full Cme in her private pracCce in Denmark and has been a bodyworker since 2006. She loves meeCng different people during her day\, and takes her Cme to meet every one of her clients individually and give them what they need. She started out as a Cranio-Sacral Therapist and pracCced cranio-sacral therapy for many years. In 2011 she started exploring the path of tantra with her husband and started to incorporate tantra into her work with people. AMer meeCng Satyarthi Peloquin\, she decided to learn this work from him. Already fascinated by the body\, she could sense the healing potenCal of working with the fascia and the nervous system with both adults as well as kids. Feeling like a kid in a candy store she studied with and assisted Satyarthi in workshops in Poland\, Greece\, France and the Netherlands. Now MER has become the main part of her work in her pracCce and she is now a part of the MER training in Denmark together with Ketu Bo. \n“My passion is that people are healthy both physically and mentally. My tools in my work are my hands and my heart. When I put my hands on people\, they more or less start to work by themselves. My clients tell me that it is like my hands have their own healing system! It is so important that you find your own way in life. We all have a purpose to be here\, bodywork is mine and you must find yours”.Embark on a Journey of Personal Transformation through Myofascial Energetic Release \nIn every Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) training\, a distinctive opportunity unfolds for both giving and receiving\, facilitating not only technical mastery but also personal self-discovery. Satyarthi and his attentive team curate a warm and supportive environment\, ensuring every participant feels secure enough to unfold their healing journey. Engage in daily practices such as dance\, meditation\, and sharing sessions that foster authentic and profound connections among participants\, forging a nurturing community to enrich each individual’s journey. \nBy the end of this module\, participants will have enhanced their skill level and sensitivity when engaging with persistent pain and structural dysfunction in the feet\, knees\, and hips. You will also be equipped to create comprehensive treatment sessions that emphasize grounding and energetic contact through the feet and legs. \nBook Training and Accommodation here!\nDetails \nStart: April 13th @ 6:00pm\nEnd: April 19th @ 4:00pm \nPrice including Training and Full Board Deluxe Dorm £1425\nFull Board Accommodation only (for pre-paid ticket holders) £475 \n\nLimited private accommodation available at extra costs. \nFor more info about our accommodation and facilities\, click here \n\n\nBook Training & Accommodation here!

SUMMARY:Biodanza and the Energies of Spring
DESCRIPTION:Biodanza & The Energies of Spring \nwith Niraj and Milarepa \nFriday March 20 – Sunday March 22 \nWe are fortunate enough to be granted a date for this workshop over the Spring Equinox\, an important time in the calendar since time immemorial\, where night and day are of equal length.  \nIt signifies a change in the seasons\, where the cold\, dark\, wet winter months give way to the return of the light and warmth and the regeneration of life in the plants and animals and indeed ourselves as we turn our faces to the sun once again and feel the natural lift this gives to the spirit. \nWith cooperation from the weather I am optimistic that we will be able to dance outside in the hallowed grounds of Leela where many transformative experiences have occured over the twenty years of my career leading Biodanza here. \nThere is something extraordinarily special about vivencias in nature. They truly are uncannily more than the sum of their parts and some of the deepest\, most profound connections in the line of Transcendence can and do happen with regularity. \nWe shall explore themes of renewal and rebirth\, fecundity and fertility\, change\, awakening\, the celebration and honouring of natural cycles\, harmony\, growth and the return of Life! \nThis is a weekend for experienced dancers and beginners alike and will feature four full length vivencias\, two each from Niraj and Mila plus a Saturday evening happening to be decided. \nYou are warmly welcome to join us to dance your way through this transformative time and spring to life the Biodanza way! \n\nWhat is Biodanza \nBiodanza is a system of human integration\, emotional development\, and renewal through music\, dance\, and authentic connections.  \nDeveloped by Rolando Toro in the 1960s. \nBiodanza encourages a joyful\, expressive way of living that enhances well-being and deepens relationships with oneself and others. \nThis is not about performance. It’s about remembering your aliveness\, moving from the heart\, and reconnecting with your essential vitality. \nRolando Toro \n\nWho is this for … \n✔️ Curious newcomers ready to taste the joy and depth of Biodanza \n✔️ Past students and graduates of Dorset School of Biodanza or other schools looking to reconnect \n✔️ Teachers seeking inspiration and community \n✔️ Lovers of movement\, music\, and embodied connection \n✔️ Supporters of the next generation of Biodanza facilitators \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect \nFriday: We start the process of creating a group with a delicious communal meal from the Leela kitchen followed by our first dance session (vivencia) to land\, arrive in our bodies\, decompress from our journey and enter into heartfelt connection with our companions for the weekend\, then a phone free early night! \nSaturday: Yoga\, breakfast\, Coffee Shop\, a potential nature walk\, a Spring themed vivencias\, lunch\, a rest break followed by a second session of the day immediately prior to dinner. \nSaturday Evening: potential sauna (£5/10 per person) or collaboration with other groups using Leela the same weekend. Ceremonial bonfire/ritual? \nSunday: As for Saturday\, with hopefully an outdoor session\, weather permitting \nFinal integration Vivencia & sharing circle to put our experiences into words and create even greater intimacy as we close our deepest dive into the Energies of the season \nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nWhat We Will Explore … \nThroughout the weekend\, we will explore themes of: \n\nrenovation and renewal\nfertility and fecundity\ndark/light and life/spirit\nchanging of the seasons\n\nSpecific exercises from the Biodanza playbook will include: \nDances of the Earth\, Air\, Sun\, Horse\, Rebirth\, 4 Elements Integration and many\, many more! \nThe focus this time will be on all the lines of vivencia\, namely:\nAffectivity\, Sexuality\, Vitality\, Creativity and Transcendence \nThis workshop offers a full-body\, holistic reset of your nervous system\, leaving you feeling revitalised\, renewed\, integrated\, expressed and deeply refreshed. \n\nNiraj Skilbeck\, facilitator \nNiraj co-leads the Dorset School of Biodanza alongside Milarepa Burgin\, graduate of the first cycle of the training from 2008-2011 and is highly skilled at introducing people to the profound depths biodanza has to offer\, such as sensitivity\, sensuality\, touch\, affection and authentic expression. Using the medium of Biodanza\, a series of dance\, movements and exercises that create space for a deep experience within oneself and with others\, each workshop is led as a vivencia\, a space in which words are dropped and the deep wisdom of the body is entered. \nNiraj has been involved in Biodanza since 1997\, leads the teacher training program\, and is also trained in the Osho Humaniversity training. He also has specialisation certificates to teach Biodanza and the Four Elements\, Biodanza in Nature\, Biodanza and Shamanism\, AquaBiodanza\, Biodanza for Children\, Biodanza and Massage\, Contact Education\, The Heart of Transformation\, the Minotaur Project and the Argonaut Mission. He has been involved in teaching Biodanza in 20+ countries. \nMilarepa Burgin\, facilitator \nMy first experience of Biodanza was with Niraj during the Spring Festival at Osho Leela in 2006. That initial vivencia had a deeply profound effect on my life\, something which continues to resonate even now\, and I remember saying to Niraj “if you ever decide to train people in this\, you can count me in”. \nAfter almost 20 years of dancing\, with nearly 15 of those years as a facilitator\, it feels that life has come full-circle as we now welcome a new cohort to Osho Leela to begin a new cycle of this incredible training. Whether you see yourself as a future teacher or simply want to enhance and enrich your own life with greater levels of expression and connection\, the Biodanza facilitator training is\, in my opinion\, unparalleled in it’s depth and breadth and provides each participant with a unique insight into their own life and into the experience of living. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the dance floor and to a deeper understanding of just what it is to be alive. \n\nWhy This Workshop Matters \nOur ancestors celebrated and revered this time of year (and many others!) much more than we do today. Modern western humans have lost touch with our connection to the natural world\, the seasons\, to ritual and the eternal cycles by which all living things are governed\, and we call it progress! It’s not. It’s a fundamental regression from knowing and being in our rightful place in the inextricably linked web of life on Earth. \nHere\, we have the opportunity to recover some of that essential lost ground and feel ourselves as instinctual\, bodily beings again\, rather than thinking machines ever more at sea in a virtual world starved of meaning\, true earthly\, physical/emotional connection to the land\, the elements and each other. \n\n\n\nA Note on Presence \n‘It’s not news to anyone that mobile phones are proliferating throughout all the world’s public spaces\, and not in a good way. Almost everywhere you go\, multiple people are seduced from the present moment by the hyper addictive nature of an ever present internet connection. I have decided to make a stand against this and make my weekends an opportunity for a 2 day digital detox to spare us all from distraction and over stimulation. This means handing in your device on arrival till the Sunday afternoon finish. This measure has proved wildly popular so far\, with many people articulating astonishment at the difference it makes to be without it. It also serves to further the intent of the weekend\, which is to enhance interpersonal connection both on and off the dancefloor. \nA 24hr Emergency Contact number will be provided to all participants in the week before arrival to give to your loved ones.Exceptions must be applied for in advance to Niraj by email to biodanzaniraj@gmail.comThere will be no discussions about this on the day. Please be clear what you are signing up for in advance of making your payment.Many thanks for your cooperation and understanding.‘ \n— Niraj \nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nDetails \n\n\n\n——————————- \nBiodanza Weekends\n \nStart weekend: Friday March 20th @ (Arrive from 5pm on the Friday to settle in\, dinner is at 7pm\, the training commences at 8.15pm) \nEnd: Sunday March 22nd @ 5:00pm \n\n\nPrice weekend: £310 (includes workshop & food)\n \nEarly bird till February 27th: £280 \nYou can also pay in instalments – by paying a 20% deposit\, followed by equal monthly payments that will complete before the start of the workshop. \n——————————– \nAccommodation for 2 nights:\nOwn campervan plus hook up if needed £5-£25\nFemale Deluxe Dorm £50\nMale Deluxe Dorm £50\nRegular Private Room £100\nPremium Private Room £140\nMobile Back Room £100\nPine Cabin Regular Room £110\nDouble Pod £120\nSmall Private Room £60\nSharing another Participants accommodation £0 \n\n\n\n\nCheck out our accommodationBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel

The sessions were really lovely\, very gentle. We did some creativity workshops as well as healing\, breathing exercises and chakra meditations. Tantra in the West has a really strong s*xual flavour and it’s not really about that. \nDimitri\nIt’s definitely an in-depth exploration and a journey\, which you go on with a group\, so it’s a beautiful container to grow in over time. It was really helpful to learn more about circulating energy through the chakras and to get precise guidance. It felt really expansive and exciting\, and a very interesting way to play with energy. It was a very gentle\, subtle and sweet learning experience. \nAurora\nOne of the things I have loved most about this experience is having the old school tantra\, rituals\, devotion\, working with energy\, breathwork and intention.  this is really meaningful for me because it is hard to find that in England in my experience as there is a lot of neo tantra so it is lovely to have something that the richeness and depth of ancient tradition and wisdom. I also want to share how beautiful it was for me to have Maite singing with her guitar to support us in song. There is something very special about singing in community and to be in devotion through music and song so i’ve really enjoye that she brought her gifts. I’ve had a lovely experience. \nHarmony Isgolde\nIt has been a beautiful four module experience for me\, especially to do this with my beloved; to look at the shadows and the connection between us and how to deepen that\, and also the shadows within myself between the feminine and the masculine has been really great to explore. The whole experience has been really enlightening and brings beauty and joy to the heart. \nPremesh\nI have just completed the LTE and I am so full of love\, I feel amazing. It is such a safe\, gentle space that has been held here. This last 5 months there have been beautiful connections\, beautiful friendships… I highly recommend this to anybody. \nCressida\nI have had a really deep\, meaningful and spiritual journey into myself that has helped me to understand me and others and to open my heart to everyone. \nPrem TuriyaLife Tantra Experience – Training Level 1 Workshop Dates 2026:\n\n\nMarch 20 – 22: Module I “The Tantra Map” Cosmic Blueprint for Living Fully\nApril 17 – 19: Module II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”\nMay 22 – 24: Module III “She and He are One” The Sun and Moon within\nJune 26 – 28: Module IV\, “Devotional Tantra” – Union\, Love & Meditation\n\nPlease note – This is not a facilitator training.
