CREATING A SAFE SPACE
CONSENT AND BOUNDARIES
This will be a sex-positive space in which we will be able to explore our desires and also our boundaries.
Everyone will be responsible for their own body and will let others be responsible for theirs as well.
We will also be responsible for hearing and respecting other people's yeses and noes.
Rules on consent and boundaries will also apply to sharing spaces where everyone will be invited to speak only from their own experience and not that of others.
Everything that happens in this space and that is shared in the sharing spaces will be held sacred and confidential.
COVID and STI'S
It is my intention to create a safe space for us to thrive together.
If you have come in contact with someone who has tested positive to covid prior to the retreat we will ask you to let us know and also present a negative test result prior to joining.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID prior to the retreat we will kindly ask you to test before joining.
With regards to STI'S we will ask everyone to take care of themselves as they would out in the world.

YOUR FACILITATORS
MARC PERIDIS
LEAD 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. 

ANDY GUNN
CO-FACILITATOR
Andy is a queer kinkster, tantrika, and BDSM educator with a fascination for what lies beyond the limitations of the mind.

Through BDSM practices, Andy creates safe(r) containers to release energies often associated with sexuality such as shame, fear and guilt, in fun and playful ways. The practices allow us to connect with our vulnerability, our power, and our pleasure in new ways.

He teaches impact play and rope bondage for LGBTQ+, disabled, and neuro-spicy kinksters and has a keen awareness of power, intersectionality, consent, conflict transformation, and trauma-informed approaches.

Moreover, this is not just about spicing up our sex, Andy’s work helps people to integrate BDSM principles into their everyday lives. Whether that’s simply reclaiming our right (rite) to have fun, or reframing a relationship or experience on our terms, the healing power of kink goes way beyond the bedroom.
