THE NOW
NAKED The Retreat is a space for collective evolution.
For 8 transformative days, we will take you on a deep dive back to your essence.
Embraced in a breathtaking venue surrounded by wild nature, you will immerse yourself in a space of connection, discovery and liberation.
In this sacred container we step into the “naked circle” through daily practices and nourishing rituals, where the invitation is to enliven our soul, heighten our awareness, and embody our naked truth.
Guided by the fundamental pillars of breath, movement, sound, and touch, you will explore what it means to live naked in your soul, unburdened by fear and free from attachments.
Together, we meet our most vulnerable edges. We cry, we laugh, we unravel what has been held within and what holds us back. And in doing so, we reclaim our right to live fully.
The NAKED Soul vision goes beyond a single gathering. This is how we live and show up; and we’re here to build a global community of courageous souls, bound by a shared commitment to living authentically—not just for a week, but for life.
This is about creating connections that endure, offering support long after the retreat ends, and giving you a taste of what life feels like when lived fully awaken as Love.
Gift Culture & Ubuntu
For nearly a decade, NAKED was built on a purely gift-based model, inspired by Ubuntu: “I am because we are.” Allowing participants to determine their own exchange after the experience taught us the power of generosity, trust, and community. However, as our vision grows and our team, venue, and logistical needs expand, we’ve recognised the need for a sustainable baseline to ensure that NAKED Soul can continue to flourish.
- Base Contribution: We set a price for our 8-day NAKED The Retreat. This amount covers essential costs—venue, food, facilitation, and team support—helping us operate sustainably while honouring those who make these events possible.
- Expanded Giving: In the spirit of Gift Culture, we still invite participants to contribute more than the base if they feel inspired. Additional gifts go into a communal pot to support future events and sponsor those who can’t afford it. It’s our way of “paying it forward”, so that nobody is turned away for lack of funds.
We remain deeply inspired by models like Vipassana, where those who have the means help to fund the experience for others. While we’re not in a position yet to offer fully gift-based retreats again, we carry forward the essence of generosity and interdependence.
