More on Somatics of Pleasure & Breathwork
The Somatics of Pleasure addresses the lived experience of pleasure: what is our relationship to it? How much of it do we welcome into our lives? How can we harness our own energy to expand into our potential?
Using practices from the Tantric tradition, Kundalini kriyas, and Rebirthing Breathwork, we guide you into an exploration of your own body, life-force or creative energy, and your experience of connecting with others, in a safe, non-sexual container.
Rebirthing Breathwork is the purest form of Breathwork as we know it today—it involves using conscious connected breathing for approximately 1 hour, to unlock the breath which has been suppressed in different ways throughout our lives. The breath enters the blockages in the body, and clears the stagnant energy, creating a release of energy & emotion. It is a profoundly reconnecting practice, both to self and to cosmos.

Our Philosophy
We believe in creating spaces that are safe for you to go deep into your psyche, while staying connected to the lightness of being. During practice, we honour and respect the depth of each experience & create room for it to blossom, while nurturing a playful attitude around the practices.
We are both trauma-trained and believe that the most potent forms of healing happen in softness. Our goal is not to activate you to the point you break—but rather, to slowly allow your body to feel safe enough to open to its depth.
We believe you are your own healer, that we simply provide the safe container for you to awaken the inner healing intelligence present within each of us.
Setting
The setting of the retreat is a beautiful ancient traditional home in the Normandy countryside. It is surrounded by forests and has a pool. The bedrooms each have 2 twin beds.

Ma première retraite tantrique avec Daniel et Elvire en novembre dernier était incroyable ! Ils ont su créer un espace sécurisant et bienveillant qui m’a permis d’ouvrir grand mon coeur et aller tout au fond de moi même.
Grace à eux j’ai compris que le Tantra est la capacité d’être présent avec soi et avec les autres. Avec plusieurs pratiques de respiration, connexion et relaxation, nos blocages tombent un par un et l’amour jaillit ! J’ai hâte de participer à leur prochaine retraite en mars pour poursuivre cette pratique qui me fait tellement du bien !

I’m still wrapping my head around everything that happened the past weekend, everything that I’ve felt… so many firsts. You guys are amazing! The way you held the group and guided. us through all these layers of emotions with so much love, tenderness, vulnerability, strength and support! It was so easy to let go, to begin this journey of rediscovery. I feel like a child that has just experienced the forest with all its magic for the firs time, all my senses heightened, excited and curious for more. It4s a beautiful feeling and I owe that to you both. Forever grateful!
