A deep, erotic, transformative journey
This 6-day retreat will be a transformative deep dive into the fields of Eros and the orgasm.
We will gather as a group of men, lovers, brothers, friends, to explore the various dimensions of our sexual, erotic and orgasmic landscapes.

At the core of it will Orgasmic shamanism, an erotic practice of energy work and spontaneous movement.
Our journey together will be composed of a variety of activities:
- compassionate sharing spaces,
- cognitive work,
- individual erotic body work practices,
- erotic partner practices,
- erotic group practices.

Our process is based on the 5 stages of the mystery schools of Ancient Greece:
Discovery, Initiation, Awakening, Embodying, Integration.

DISCOVERY
In the discovery stage, we learn that our body is a tool for transformation and finding oneness.
INITIATION
After discovering the power of our body, we began to explore the ares of our lives that are needing transformation.
This is where we look at shadows, shame and other forms of patterning and conditioning.
AWAKENING
In this stage we awaken the greater power that is available within us. We will also explore the unique gifts that each us is here to offer the world.
EMBODYING
Once this new power has been awakened, we will take a deep dive with it in a long and transformative 24-hour process which will be focused on receiving this power for our own healing and transformation first
INTEGRATION
Integration: After embodying our power for a long period of time, we begin to get insights on how to integrate this new power into our lives. This includes the exploration of our needs, desires, boundaries, etc.
Slide
Together we will...
Inspired by these philosophies, we will gather together as sacred brothers.
We will rise with spontaneous movement every morning as the sun caresses the white walls of our traditional Cycladic villa.  
We will gather in a sacred space of deep communion with each other, ourselves and the greater field. 
We will explore the ancient power of sacred sexuality through self-pleasuring, partner work and group practice. 
We will gain knowledge of shamanic and somatic healing techniques that can unlock deep realms of transformation. 
We will share openly in a non-judgemental and compassionate space. 
We will laugh, and perhaps even cry, as the shadows of the past find a potent space to be processed and released. 
We will move, dance and play as we please, clothed or naked.
We will experience the power of our deepest pleasure in guided sunset poolside practices. 
We will lie and cuddle under the stars at the end of our satisfying days. 
We will own the true power of our sexuality within the boundaries of a safe container.

About your facilitator

Marc is a somatic therapist and shamanic practitioner specialised in the Medicine of eros, healing practices related to eros and sexuality. 



His work has two main focuses:
1- Supporting the transmutation of shame, trauma and shadow to power, purpose and mastery.
2- As a teacher's teacher, he trains facilitators, therapists and teachers by supporting their development of new abilities. 


His practices, which are often considered radical, combine talk therapy, with experiential processes involving the soma (the body), energy transmission and sexual explorations.


Interactions can range from gentler ones including soft touch, cuddling and conscious stillness to more radical ones such as dark-room therapy, and re-enacting kinky, taboo and shameful sexual scenarios in healing and conscious ways.

Today, he shares his work through 1-1 sessions, online and in-person, residential and non-residential courses and workshops, and online live and pre-recorded courses. 


After spending over a decade training in somatic movement therapy, energy work and sacred sexuality, his own practice emerged as a result of his years spent observing behavioural responses in 1-1 and group therapy sessions worldwide.



As well as being a trained somatic movement therapist, he has also been initiated into shamanism in 2015 and in the Mystery School as a student in 2013 and a guide in 2018.
He is also senior faculty at the Shakti Shiva Academy since 2021. 



While his process and practice are open to people of all levels of experience, he tends to work mostly with advanced practitioners, people who are keen to become facilitators, and facilitators wishing to develop new skills.
