NAKED THE RETREAT
NAKED is…
ANOTHER WORD FOR GETTING REAL
A 10-day retreat to dive into the depth of you. Strip yourself bare, take off what you don’t need.
Let go and liberate. Are you ready to breathe life back into your very being?
NAKED is…
OUR ABILITY TO EXPLORE OUTSIDE OF OUR COMFORT ZONE
This is not just about taking our clothes off. Can we get naked in our words, actions, feelings and thoughts?
NAKED is…
EVERYTHING BEHIND THE THICK CURTAINS OF LIES AND PAIN
NAKED is a 10-day transformational retreat, taking you on a playful, pleasurable, emotional & spiritual journey into your NAKED wholeness. Combining breath, movement, sound, spontaneity, meditation, transparent communication, radical intimacy, and delicious nutritious food to fuel the adventure within.
WHY THIS RETREAT?
Because we want you to be free. But not just for the sake of liberation. We know that your creative potential grows exponentially when you tap into your true self. The energy that is freed when you no longer need to protect yourself from something that does not exist (aka Mr. F.E.A.R. – False Evidence Appearing Real) will quite naturally pour itself into service on a deeper level – to yourself and everything around you.
NAKED – The Retreat is not just another retreat. It’s a playground of exploration.
It’s the soil where we cultivate the seeds that birth the emergence of a new human being.
A growing tribe of liberated hearts & minds who risk to express themselves in their entirety.
A tsunami of courageous beings daring to be great.
We invite you to realise that all the drama and pain we see on the outside is self created and when we identify with our pain as who we are, we prevent our potential from flowering. The greatest threat to humanity is the belief that someone else will save us. It is about time we realise our universal duty lies within our individual sovereign responsibility. The purpose of life is to express our gifts! And this is where NAKED opens the doors to your ultimate freedom which ignites the illumination of your unique divine self.
THIS ISN’T FOR EVERYONE.
IT WILL BE A FIT FOR YOU IF:
You are ready to breathe silence into the noise
You are ready to unclothe your words
You are ready to get NAKED
You believe in the GIFT of giving
You are ready to dance away fears
You are ready to shake out your anger
You are ready to belly laugh your way out of life’s dramas
You want to love like you’ve never loved before
THE NAKED EXPLORATION INCLUDES
This playground is truly a sacred, brave space of exploration, an inquiry, an invitation to show up in the moment and allow what wants to be expressed. With that as our focus, we also strip away the fixed program structure. That’s not to say there isn’t any structure at all. We have an intention with specific guidance to set the space while holding a flexible structure so as not to pre-plan everything in advance.
We have an array of practices, tools, rituals, and games to bring to this playground. We trust in the co-facilitation and the unique constellation that will create the group field. We know the exact tools and guidance required will present themselves moment to moment throughout the 10 days. And we are prepared for that. To listen and trust, to be in the void, the unknown, the present moment and see what wants to arise within the space between us.
Some of the practices, methods and techniques of exploration we have used in past retreats are:
- Daily journaling (learning how to communicate nakedly with ourselves)
- Emotional release tools (enabling us to become energy alchemists and feel what we need to feel)
- Bodywork, consensual touch, somatic practices
- Radical Intimacy (Into-me-I-see)
- Movement and freedom of expression to open up our bodies and mind to create space within; Yoga, Qigong, Ecstatic Dance
- Intentional breathing practices that help unlock suppressed emotions
- Sacred Sexuality practices
- Communication practices that transform the way we relate with others (transparent communication, way of council, sharing circles, mirroring)
- Playfulness, improvisation, spontaneity
- Active, guided, walking and silent meditations
- Homemade gourmet vegan meals, using local vegetables

to play and cry, to laugh and fly
in the kingdoms of our skins
to unwrap what we hold within
We have come to be naked
WE HAVE COME
