“They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds”– Author Unknown
This is a seed event to manifest change which transitions us from a world driven by disembodiment, time, money, and fear towards the elevation of consciousness, embodiment, intimacy, heart-fullness, art, and life-force energy.
In these times of transition, the vision of this cozy gathering in the Danish countryside is to nurture and grow the capacity of intimacy within us. We hope to ignite the spark of the power of intimacy to foster transformation in those who attend so they can in turn ignite the spark in others.
This gathering is followed by the first ever Spiritual, Sexual, Shamanic Experience (SSSEx) training in Denmark. Visit http://lovemovementevolution.com/event/istadenmark/
<<<What happens at “Spirit of Intimacy”?>>>
We create safe held spaces using tantra, the temple arts, play, breath, movement, bodywork, healing and learning. Co-creating an alchemical environment, intimacy connected to consciousness, heartfull-ness, and life-force energy can be used as our personal radical stimulus, to set off a multiplication effect with the greater intention to transform the collective human heart.
We have invited some of the world, Europe, and Denmark’s most compelling guides of spirituality, sexuality, shamanism from different wisdom and embodiment traditions, connected to the spirit of intimacy:

In her lectures, workshops, and retreats (such as “The Tribal Vibe” and “Go deeper – a tantric retreat for lovers”) the main points is to connect with self and others on the deepest possible level and to get re-acquainted with the gift of truely feeling the love and trust that is to be found when the body-mind is safe.
Signe’s focal point is to pay close attention to the wisdom that lies within the body, our sensations, emotions and thoughts, and supporting the re-connection of body and mind.
Her gentle, but firm approach during therapy sessions and as a facilitator also shines thru in her work as a columnist and editor of her public mail box “Signes brevkasse” in the largest newspaper in Denmark.
