About the retreat
Although the word libido is most often associated with sexuality, at its core it is a life force – the passion that moves us, motivates us, and brings us alive. We can channel it into sexuality, relationships, creativity, embodiment, learning, work, spirituality… When libido has multiple pathways, life remains alive.
When healthy channels are blocked, this life energy becomes suppressed, distorted, and eventually emerges as symptoms: anxiety, exhaustion, loss of pleasure and vitality. We stop living and start merely surviving.

Libido is always present within us — we simply need to learn how to access it.
At the retreat, we create space for:
- returning to the body as the primary regulator of vitality
- awakening vitality with pleasure, without forcing or inhibiting
- restoring sensitivity and embodied enjoyment
- contact with self and others without masks
- softening numbness, automatism, and chronic freeze
- permission for joy, tenderness, strength, play, and warmth
- intimacy that is not only sexual

We will work surrounded by a pine forest, just a few steps from the sea, breathing in the healing Lošinj air – everything around us will support rest, recovery, and relaxation.
