The Divine Play Retreat: As above, so below

You are invited into a three-day, immersive retreat where play, kink and tantra are offered as pathways to healing. Held in a thirteenth-century castle outfitted with modern comforts — sauna, underfloor heating and an elevator — this retreat is designed to hold you safely while you explore desire, boundaries and the edges of what feels possible.

We begin together on Friday evening with an opening circle and intention setting, offering a clearing of what no longer serves so you can notice the patterns and self-fulfilling prophecies you are ready to alchemize.

On day two we use the Wheel of Consent as a practical framework to study polarity: giving and receiving, taking and allowing. Expect slow, attuned practice that introduces elements of power play with care, guiding you toward states of feeling deeply held and able to surrender when it feels right.

The final day brings therapeutic kink, healing roleplay, shadow work and alchemy. Through the medicine of desire you are invited to speak aloud everything you could possibly want, to reclaim the part of you that dares to dream and to practice taking up the space you deserve.

Your guide, Ariana Lara Norcia, brings a background in dance education, ThetaHealing and biodynamic therapy, and a long immersion in tantra, breathwork, Mayan abdominal therapy and conscious kink. She works with the taboo as medicine and invites you to test the edges of social norms while reclaiming sovereignty over your longing.

A small team of spaceholders will be present throughout so there is always someone available to support you. Practicalities: the retreat takes place at The Conscious Castle (train access and carpooling options); accommodation is shared (2–3 people per room); three nourishing meals per day plus snacks and tea are provided; the group is about 30 participants and gender balance is intentionally curated; adults 18+ are welcome.

All tickets include food and lodging. Payment plans are offered; the deposit is non-refundable unless your application is declined. If the full price is a barrier, you are encouraged to email about helper or affordability options. To apply, please complete the provided form and make your downpayment via the booking flow. If you want a sense of the container before committing, reach out for a connection call.

Questions about touch and consent are taken seriously: you may opt out of any exercise at any time, alter an exercise to suit your boundaries, pause, or step out; your agency is honored throughout. If you are unsure whether this retreat is right for you, contact Ariana for support in sensing if it fits your needs.
