What if connection is what we came into this world for?
What if your body plays a central role in how you relate — beyond words and gazes — through presence, touch, movement, and resonance?
We invite you for a 6-day somatic immersion in the wild beauty of Çıralı, where the warm sea and ancient land hold space to explore deep relating and embodied transformation.
In this retreat you will:
• Develop skills for more satisfying and conscious relating
• Rewire old patterns and create new experiences of safety, support, and joy
• Work through early unmet needs in a nurturing, embodied way
The skills and topics raised in this workshop are not only for relating with an intimate partner. They can also be applied to the interaction between friends, relatives and in parenting.
