À propos de cet événement
The Conscious Castle proudly hosts TANTRIC SENSUAL HEALING MAGIC FOR COUPLES, a four-day intimacy intensive created by The Somatic Sensual Healing Institute and guided by Francesca Gentillé and Dolphin Kasper.
Held at our 13th-century retreat center in the Belgian countryside, this small-group experience invites couples and paired participants to slow down, reconnect and explore sensuality, communication, energy and intimacy with greater presence.
What becomes possible when intimacy is no longer something to perform, but a space where both partners can listen, receive and meet each other more fully?
🌹 ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
This retreat is designed for partners who want to deepen trust, sensual connection and embodied communication.
The program draws from Tantra, Taoist practices, somatic awareness, clinical sexology, trauma-informed relational work, breathwork, ritual and conscious touch.
These approaches are offered as practical tools for exploring how emotional history, cultural messages, shame, stress and relationship patterns may influence intimacy.
Some practices will take place together in the main Temple. Other exercises will be offered for you and your designated partner to explore privately in your room.
The intention is not to promise a particular sexual, emotional or therapeutic outcome.
It is to create a carefully held educational environment where partners can practise slowing down, communicating clearly, noticing the body and approaching intimacy with curiosity, compassion and consent.

🫶 CONSENT, PRIVACY & PARTNERED PRACTICE
This is an emotionally, energetically and sexually intimate course.
All touch and intimate exercises are consent-based. You may decline, pause or adapt any invitation, and consent must remain present throughout every practice.
Most practices are designed to be explored with your designated partner rather than with the wider group.
Confidentiality, respectful communication and personal boundaries are essential agreements.
Details about clothing, nudity and the precise nature of the intimate practices should be confirmed directly with the organizers before registration.
This experience is educational and experiential. It is not a substitute for psychotherapy, trauma treatment, medical care or clinical treatment for sexual pain or dysfunction.
The Conscious Castle is a substance-free space. Alcohol and recreational drugs are not permitted during the retreat.
🌙 WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR
