UNTAMED
5Rhythms® Dance & Awakened Embodiment Method
UNTAMED is not rebellion.
It is remembering who you are
and no longer betraying yourself.
UNTAMED means undomesticated.
Not corrected.
Not compressed.
Not trained to please, to hold back, to function.
This retreat is an invitation for women and men
to undress — masks, armours, roles and identities built to survive.
To return naked:
•naked in the soul
•naked in impulse
•naked in essence
•naked in the body that feels before it explains
UNTAMED is the space where the body regains its voice
and instinct becomes sacred again.
WHAT WE WILL DO
During the retreat we will work with:
5Rhythms® Dance
A free and conscious movement practice that uses the body as a direct path to knowing.
It is not choreography.
It is not performance.
It is not a technique to master.
It is a somatic map that moves through five energetic states — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness — allowing participants to:
•release physical and emotional tension
•free held emotions
•restore grounding, presence and vitality
•reconnect with the body’s natural intelligence
Awakened Embodiment Method
An integrated method developed through years of work with dance, somatic practices, bioenergetics, tantra and presence-based work.
It focuses on:
•embodied presence
•sensory awareness
•contact with authentic impulse
•integration of vulnerability, strength, pleasure and boundaries
The body is considered intelligent, not something to fix.
A symptom is not a problem to eliminate, but a message to listen to.
In UNTAMED, sexual energy is included because it is part of vital energy:
what moves the body, ignites creativity, and sustains the desire for life.
Within UNTAMED:
•sexual energy is not performative
•not oriented toward seduction
•not genitalized
It is recognized as a natural part of the body and of human instinct.
UNTAMED is a space where sexual energy can exist
without needing to be acted out
and without needing to be suppressed.
It can simply be felt.
In this retreat we create the conditions for the body to remember what the mind has forgotten.
The work is not about pushing.
It is about removing what obstructs.
We allow to emerge:
•authentic impulse
•unfiltered desire
•living vulnerability
•instinctive strength
•tenderness that does not ask for permission
UNTAMED: AN INTEGRATED WORK
UNTAMED does not separate:
•body and soul
•instinct and consciousness
•sexuality and spirituality
It is an invitation to return whole.
To live naked — in truth.
WHO IT IS FOR
•Women and men
•Anyone who feels the call of the body
•Those tired of working only with the mind
•Those who wish to feel, not self-improve
No previous experience is required.
You don’t need to know how to dance.
What is needed is presence and willingness to listen.
