Life, Death & Eros
A 7-Day Immersion
A Permission Ground for the Wild Beauty of Your Soul
Welcome to a Playground of Aliveness, Authenticity & Awe
Are you ready to embrace the beauty of all that you are—the good, the bad, and the ugly?
- Your darkness is the compost from which you birth new life.
- Your shadows contain the seeds of your most powerful gifts.
- Your greatest obstacles can become the raw material for your ecstatic pleasure.
- Your grief is the crack in your heart that opens you to deeper love.
Life, Death & Eros is an arena for the daring. Here, we fall in love with the reality of each other’s imperfections and impermanence. We celebrate our messiness, embrace our shadows, and transmute them into gold through our life force and eros. We face the reality of our impending death and let it call us into presence. We own that we are dying and being reborn every day.
Our truthful vulnerability is the only foundation for authentic connection.
You don’t need to be an expert in anything—tantra, shibari, dance… All that is required is an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to crack open to your own depths. Come alone, with a partner, or with friends. Let us dance together in truthful delight!
This 7-Day Immersion Includes:
- A playground for your wildness to emerge and play
- A field of compassion where your vulnerability is celebrated
- Permission to let go of what no longer serves you
- Dance and movement arts
- Ritual through ropes & shibari
- Temple arts, tantra & sacred eros
- The art of slowing down and embracing presence
- Authentic intimacy through healthy boundaries
- Embracing shadows & transmuting them into life purpose
- Honoring the cycles of life
- Grief ritual & intimacy with death
- Devotion & masculine & feminine rituals
- Discovering your soul note & standing in your power
Testimonials from Previous Participants
“Life, Death & Eros with Atilla and Bina worked with areas that are critical in living life fully and ecstatically.”
“The space Atilla and Bina created was loving and safe, yet ripe with possibilities to do deep work and release old patterns that no longer serve us.”
“Life, Death & Eros was such a potent event. Getting to explore intimacy and death in a safe container is strong medicine. This event was not a walk in the park, but it had the potential to stir up the full range of emotions.”
“This retreat brought me closer to death and therefore closer to my life. I saw how much my patterns of blocking love were connected to a fear of death and losing those I love. It helped me release control and embrace life fully.”
