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.

"Are you leading from your head and quietly feeling your body has been asking for the wheel?"
— An invitation
Includes full board, accommodation, all sessions, and aftercare. Payment plans available.
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.

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
Heart-centered ceremony, somatic breath practices, partnered exercises in a safe container, integration circles, and time in silence and nature. The daily rhythm is slower than our other retreats — deliberately so. This is not a retreat you push through. It is one you soften into.
For whom
For those who have been protecting their heart for good reason and are now ready to offer it something different. Those healing from loss, from disconnection, from years of leading with the mind instead of the chest. No prior retreat experience required — a willingness to be moved is enough.
How it differs from the other retreats
Where Embodied Leadership begins in the body and Reclaim Your Eros moves into desire, Heart Wide Open works exclusively with the heart. Tenderness is the practice here. The work is quieter, slower, and often the most unexpectedly powerful retreat we hold.

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
Morning practice at sunrise, ocean ceremony, deep-work sessions in the afternoon, evening circles by candlelight. Optional excursions into the jungle. If the dates align, a full moon ritual. Five days of a different relationship to time — where nothing starts before you're ready and nothing ends before it's complete.
For whom
For those ready for the deepest container we hold. Often those who have walked through one of our other retreats, or those at a major life threshold: a transition, a loss, a beginning. Those who can genuinely step out of their daily life for a full week — and who have been waiting for somewhere worth stepping into.
Where and when
Held on the island of Ko Phangan, Thailand. Accommodation, daily meals, all sessions, and ceremony are included. Flights and travel to the island are not. Dates for the next retreat are announced to our community first — contact us to be added to the notification list.

A ceremonial gathering under the full moon. One night in sacred container with the rhythm of nature as the only clock. Lobo Sagrado — the sacred wolf — calls you to the threshold. Where the light of the moon meets the wildness you carry.
What happens
Full moon ceremony, fire ritual, breathwork under the stars, a night walk in the dark, and closing integration the following morning. A night that holds you differently than any room can — raw, wild, and deeply held at the same time.
For whom
Those who feel called to work with natural cycles and the wild. Those for whom the full moon already means something, and who want to be in a ceremonial container when it arrives. Open to all levels. No prior experience required — only a willingness to show up fully.
How it differs from the other retreats
This is not a multi-day immersion. It is a single ceremonial night — a threshold event rather than a container built over days. Where the longer retreats create depth through time, Lobo Sagrado arrives all at once. Shorter, wilder, and in direct conversation with the natural world.

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.
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.
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.
