The Immersions

The Retreats

For those ready to step out of daily life and into deeper ground. Multi-day immersions held in beautiful, sacred locations. Four distinct doorways.

A Temple is one evening. The Arc is a season. A Retreat is an immersion. Where temples crack you open and the Arc shapes you over months, a retreat lifts you out of your life entirely. Two to five days. No phones, no work, no roles. Only the practice, the room, and what comes through when you finally have the space to feel everything.

Retreat I

Embodied Leadership

Leadership that begins in the body. Not strategy. Not performance. The capacity to live and lead from a centered, sovereign, fully embodied yes. For everyone, because every life asks us to lead something. Yourself first.

What happens

Embodied practice, somatic exercises, group ceremony, voice work, and integration in nature. Daily rhythm: morning practice, deep work midday, integration and rest in the evening. A held container from arrival to closing circle.

For whom

Founders, leaders, parents, partners. Anyone who senses that the next chapter of their life asks for more presence, more truth, more sovereign yes. No prior practice required.

How it differs from the Arc

The Arc unfolds over six months in your daily life. This retreat is a three-day vertical drop. Both are powerful. They serve different moments.

€950 per retreat · 3 days
"Are you leading from your head and quietly feeling your body has been asking for the wheel?"

Retreat II

Reclaim Your Eros

The full ground of erotic life. Several days of practice, ceremony, and held space, to meet desire fully and let what has been hidden become known. For those crossing into a new relationship with their own aliveness.

What happens

Erotic ceremony, breath and voice practices, partner-based work in carefully held containers, integration circles, and time in nature. The container deepens day by day. Every practice is invitational.

For whom

For those who have done some inner work and feel ready to meet their erotic nature directly. Singles and couples both welcome. No prior tantric experience required, but a comfort with vulnerability helps.

How it differs from House of Desires

House of Desires is a single evening or weekend gathering with masks, performance, and play. This retreat is the slower, deeper, healing work that often precedes it. The retreat builds the ground; House of Desires dances on it.

€975 per retreat · 4 days

Includes full board, accommodation, all ceremonies, and integration support. Every practice is invitational. Payment plans available.

Retreat III

Heart Wide Open

A retreat for returning to the heart you have been guarding. Tenderness as ground. Softness as strength. The slow remembering that the heart was always meant to lead — and that an open heart is the most radical thing a person can carry in this world.

What happens

[Placeholder — describe the practices, daily rhythm, and held container of the Heart Wide Open retreat. Things like: heart-based ceremony, partner work, breath practices, integration circles, time in nature, etc.]

For whom

[Placeholder — describe who this retreat is for. e.g. those healing from heartbreak, those who feel disconnected from their heart, those whose love has gone unspoken, those ready to open again after a closing.]

How it differs from the other retreats

[Placeholder — explain what distinguishes this from Embodied Leadership and Reclaim Your Eros. The heart is the focus here.]

€675 per retreat

Includes full board, accommodation, all sessions, and aftercare. Payment plans available.

Retreat IV

The Island Retreat

A week on the island of Ko Phangan, far from your life. Jungle, ocean, full moon, and a held container that asks for nothing except your full presence. The deepest retreat we hold — for those ready to leave the world behind for long enough to find themselves on the other side.

What happens

[Placeholder — describe the daily rhythm. Things like: morning practice at sunrise, ocean ceremony, jungle integration, evening circles by candlelight, optional excursions, full moon ritual if dates align.]

For whom

[Placeholder — describe who this is for. e.g. those who have walked through earlier retreats and want the deepest container, those at a major life transition, those who can step out of daily life for a full week.]

Where and when

[Placeholder — venue details for Ko Phangan, accommodation type, dates for next retreat, travel guidance, what's included in the price beyond the retreat itself.]

Price on request · seven days in Thailand

Includes accommodation, daily meals, all sessions, and ceremony. Flights and travel to Ko Phangan are separate. Payment plans available.

House of Desires

Before you cross

House of Desires is a space of conscious sensuality and ceremonial gathering, held for adults who choose to be here.

What you are about to read describes experiences that are sensual, sacred, and consensual in nature. Every threshold matters: yours, and the threshold of those who hold the work.

Return to House of Royal Hearts

You found
the door

Not everyone finds this door.

You were not looking for it.

But something in you was. Something quiet. Patient. Hungry.

The part of you that has been holding desire back your whole life. The part that knows there is more.

This is where the holding back ends.

House of Desires

The sister label of House of Royal Hearts.

Royal Hearts is the work. House of Desires is the world that work makes possible.

Here, the inner work becomes a living experience. A world of conscious sensuality, ceremonial gatherings, and masked celebrations where desires are unveiled, embodied, and brought to life.

It is not for everyone, nor is it meant to be.

For those who feel called, the journey begins on February 14, 2027, with Ignition.

Where desire becomes reality.

The Founding Event

Ignition

The moment desire catches fire.

The final temple of the first arc, and the inaugural night of House of Desires. Six months of preparation arrive at one threshold. Nothing left to hide.

14 February  ·  MMXXVII
What Follows

The Two Worlds of House of Desires

After Ignition, two recurring event series unfold. Two doorways into the same world of conscious sensuality.

Series I · Embodiment

Desire Unveiled

Where desire becomes reality.

An evening where sensuality, awareness and authenticity come together. Desire Unveiled is an invitation to no longer keep your desires hidden, but to feel them, speak them, and live them.

In a safe, elegant and sensual setting you are given the space to explore what truly moves you. Through connection, music, performance and intentional encounters, masks may fall and true presence takes the floor. Not fantasising about desire. Letting it happen.

Conscious Sensuality · Authentic Connection · Embodiment · Desire Exploration

By Invitation
Series II · Masked

The Desire Masquerade

Behind every mask lives a hidden desire.

Step into a world of mystery, seduction and conscious sensuality. At The Desire Masquerade, masks become an invitation to let go of who you think you should be, and give space to what truly lives within you.

An exclusive evening of music, ritual, performance and sensual encounter, where curiosity, consent and respect form the ground. Explore the unknown. Meet yourself behind the mask.

The World We Are Building

Desires we bring to life

Not abstractions. Specific rooms. Specific moments. The world we are making, in concrete form.

I

A room where looking is not a transgression

Fifty people in candlelight. Slow music. Long, held eye contact between strangers and lovers alike, with no one pretending it isn't happening. The relief of finally being allowed to see and be seen, without apology, without performance, without the social fiction that we are not bodies in a room together.

II

An evening where desire is spoken out loud

A circle, intimate, masks on. One by one, voices name what has been held private for years. Not as confession. As ceremony. The room receives each desire without judgement, without pity, without the rush to fix or to fulfil. To say it aloud, with witnesses, is the beginning of letting it live.

III

A masquerade where the mask sets you free

A great hall. Strings, smoke, low gold light. Behind your mask you are no longer the role you arrived in. You are the part of you that has been waiting for an evening like this. Dance, conversation, slow approach and slow retreat. Consent is asked in full sentences. Every choice is held.

IV

A space where the erotic is sacred again

Breath, voice, slow movement. The body remembering it was holy before anyone told it otherwise. The pleasure of arousal without urgency, without destination, without anyone watching for what comes next. Desire as a current to be felt, not a problem to be solved.

V

An ending where no one rushes back

After the music slows. Tea. Silence. Soft blankets. People sitting close, not speaking, knowing what they have just been part of. The slow return to the world outside, with the door of the room still open inside them. The understanding that this happened, and that the next one is coming.

VI
A desire I carry — Evelien

A bed raised like an altar

A bed lifted high in a candlelit room. Two bodies above, in sacred union, held by the attention of those gathered below. Not watched. Adored. The witnesses do not consume; they bless. The lovers do not perform; they receive. Eros as iconography. Pleasure as ceremony. The oldest reverence remembered.

This is a room I am building. The desire to be seen this fully — and to see another this fully — is one of the truest desires I carry. House of Desires is the place I am making it possible.

From the Other Side of the Door

A few true things

We have not asked anyone to write about what happens here. Some things ask for silence after, not words. Until those words come, what is true is this.

◇
This is not a club. It is not a party. It is a room held with the same care as the temples, with one difference: here, the door opens further.
— The Heartcore
◇
Every threshold is consent. Every choice is yours. Nothing happens that has not been chosen, by you, in the moment, with full breath.
— The Heartcore
◇
If you have been hiding the part of yourself that wants this — you can stop hiding it here. That is what the room is for.
— The Heartcore
If any of these are true
  • If you have walked the inner work and want a room where the body finally gets to walk too —
  • If you have been keeping a part of yourself private even from yourself, and you suspect it is the most alive part —
  • If you have looked for this kind of gathering and only found rooms that were either too cold or too crass —
  • If you are tired of pretending desire is not running the deepest currents of your life —

— this is the door you have been looking for.

II
Gatherings per year

Invitations are sent in private letters, in advance of each gathering. The list is small, and we close it before every event. Once closed, no further guests are admitted, regardless of who they know.

Leave your name. We will write to you when the next door opens.

We write rarely. We share nothing with anyone. Removing yourself is a single sentence away.

The deepest desire you have been hiding

is the greatest power you have been missing.

Where desire becomes reality.
