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!

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.

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.

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.
