THE UNTAMED BODY

 

A 4-day ritual of
attunement,
expression, somatic arts & nature.

HAUS ERLENGRUND, BUCKOW bei Berlin
MAY 7 - 10, 2026

 

Feel your power.

”This workshop gives me hope for the world and humanity. It feels like coming home to myself but also collectively coming home to a way of existing in community.”

“I find myself wanting to continually make space for my emotions to move through me instead of numbing myself. I felt like I had a lot more capacity to deal with stressful situations.”

 

The Ritual;
what you can expect:

Pelvic wisdom: Unleashing Power, Pleasure Inquiry, Psoas Care
Dance & Fluentbody: Rediscovering the natural rhythm and fierceness of the body
Touch & Zenthai Workshop: Softening, receiving, co-regulating as a ritual of hope and belonging; YOU’LL LEARN A 30MIN SEQUENCE
Untamed Expression: Honest unfolding through embodiment practices, movement and sharings
Listening to sensation: Awe, curiosity and integration - the art of doing less
Emotional Intelligence: Tending to what emerges beyond our habits of contracting around our feelings

 

Ritual is conversation with the invisible yet utterly intelligent elements of the body, life and nature. During this retreat, we will weave ourselves deep into the tapestry of our human togetherness within the rhythms of movement, touch, silence, attunement and expression. The bridge between what we know and what we don’t is the compass to authenticity and the entry to the nuanced, messy and beautiful realms of being human and being in relationship. This shared time will be a conversation with and expansion of your emotional capacity, an exploration of what is alive in you beyond what we’ve learned to allow and what nto hide. Because that which reminds us that we belong here, to this world, to this body, to this heart is revealed in connection, embodiment, curiosity and play. Here, we allow ourselves to be touched by what it means to devote our awareness to intentional care and agency - how we engage with life, make choices and how we carry ourselves throughout it all.

Let us explore rituals of truth - where every part of us gets to be here with us and gets to be witnessed in community. May we allow ourselves out into the open and be transformed by the simple recognition of the fact that we are indeed human; challenged and curious to tend to parts of ourselves that are asking to come home. Vulnerability and aliveness will be our guides, as we collaborate to create a space in which we can truly meet each other human to human.

 

Own your tenderness.

“Since that weekend I feel more comfortable attuning to others through touch and have the importance of touch more clear.”

“The workshop sensitized me more to other human beings, everyday situations, greater humanity and acceptance of the needs of others as well as my own. I became even more aware that not everything can be a matter of the mind.”

 

Our experiences need places to land. Our bodies long to lay down what burdens them. Our hearts beat for compassionate witnessing of one another.

 
 

The Land:

3 nights / 4 days in Haus Erlengrund
– a true oasis just 1 hour outside of Berlin. Reachable via train and car.

  • spectecular huts and rooms, living room, open kitchen

  • 3 organic, nourishing, home cooked meals per day

  • direct access to a wonderful forest

  • private access to one of the clearest lakes in the area + rowing boat

  • sauna and fire place to restore, comtemplate and embrace the transformational powers of fire

  • outdoor platform + indoor space for our workshops that you can also use during your time in between sessions

Watching the sun set over the lake, listening to the sounds of nature, wandering amidst blooming trees and flowers - nature will be a central element of your experience. Because sometimes, with just enough space to breathe and semse, pieces already start falling into place.

 
 

This is for you, if …

  • you are curious to be in relationship with your emotional landscape

  • you have capacity and interest in a deeply embodied experience that values your own agency, questions and research over the “right solutions”

  • you are comfortable enough to engage with people through consent-based and boundary-welcoming touch

  • you feel inspired to dive into the wisdom and language of your body

  • you value movement and the various ways in which we can move - even in ways you never have

  • you want to explore possibilities and experiences with an open mind

  • you are interested in renewing and ungendering the way we express ourselves and are curious about the experience of others around you

  • you care about a space in which there is zero tolerance for body shaming, racism or gender-based discrimination

 

Real, awkward,


kind, connected.

“I am more gentle and connected with myself. When interacting with others, I feel even more curiosity about them and about the space between us.”

“Jette, you are such an open hearted and compassionate being that it’s easy to feel held and seen and with this the body can open and allow everything to flow.”

Intention | Manifesto

I am committed to cultivating a space in which you are free to connect to your body based on your own evidence, your own experience through practices that serve as an invitation into your personal authority.

We are not healing projects. The intention of this workshop is not to create another container in which you have to follow certain rules to get to a certain place. I would like to offer the perspective that community care, an engagement with the world and our bodies, cultivation of sensitivity, generosity and (social) responsibility are elements of healing that are woven through this retreat. Let’s meet ourselves and each other in our unique ways, practice spacious listening, attunement and allow ourselves to be moved by each other, our bodies, experiences and possibilities. I want to offer a space in which we may be real and connect through shared humanity.

When I don’t know, if i ever want to remember anything at all,
it will be from this body.

Tending to the language and the wisdom of our bodies is a return to our deepest longings: to love and be loved, to express, to belong, to be alive.

An untamed body can not be anticipated, curated or pushed into becoming - it can only be called forth into the embrace of authenticity, the courage to defy what restricts us from feeling, the honour to unburden ourselves and each other from all the roles we play, conditioned into holding back that we do feel lonely, turned on, enraged, afraid, proud - and be known, loved in all of our human landscapes, right here.

In the lineage of disconnecting from our biology through rationalising and industrialising the human existence, we are here, weaving completely new yet deeply ancient ways of being. Attuning to the natural pulse of life that unfolds through an untamed body, we get to ungender and unshame what is pouring through us.

Our bodies contract around so much of us that longs to rewild, to be witnessed, known, accepted. So we unfold in the presence of silence, grief, anger, pleasure, overwhelm, laughter, joy, fear, pain, connection, intimacy … as relatable experiences in response to being in touch with our inner landscapes and - the world.

The world is asking for a liberation of our ability to care, to stand by another, to remember the true force of shared humanity. Sensing ourselves further and back into our bodies, there is a surrender to the tender and the uninhibited rhythms summoned from the depths of our pelvis. A sinking and rising into the realms of the heart in shivering reverence of sensitivity, passion and wisdom.

A knowing that the untaming of our bodies sets in motion a trembling rebirth, ritualises us deeper into vibrating change that reverberates not only in our own bones but builds bridges towards a closely knit web of support in a system that feeds on isolation, disembodiment and addiction.

Because - when we do give way to what is already alive inside of us and we move, breathe, shake, moan, listen, dare, laugh and connect WITH all of it - holy shit, we get to experience what presence, power, trust, pain, creativity, community, vulnerability, softness and love can truly feel like - ALIVE.

 

Let’s go.
