What you’ll practice:
Eye-gazing: How often do you truly look into each other’s eyes? Such a simple practice opens the doorway to immense depth. Let yourself be seen and notice what arises in this connection. Learn about yourself through the reflection of your partner and experience deeper intimacy.
Movement: Explore new movements together- whether through dance, play or guided practice. Allowing your body to move freely and intuitively gives space for spontaneity and joy to arise. Thoughts quieten and presence enters. Welcome home to your body
Partner meditation; connect heart to heart and experience connection beyond words by cultivating open-hearted presence
Energy practices; through the use of sound, breath, movement and focussed awareness you will tap into your life-force, opening your central energy channel and allowing for a free flow of energy. This is the basis for full body pleasure and for cultivating your sexual energy. Practicing together with your partner allows for a connection on all levels of being.
Ritual; honour your connection, invoke sacredness and a profound sense of closeness through Tantric ritual. Ritual provides a framework that supports you to drop deeper into open-hearted presence. It has the potency to invite sacredness into your relationship and to express and renew your love, appreciation and respect for one another.
Massage / sacred touch: Explore the quality and power of touch when it comes from a place of deep presence and reverence. Your touch communicates your internal state and with that affects the internal state of your partner. It is meant to unite on a physical and spiritual level.
Conscious communication: Learn new tools for communicating. Listening carefully and speaking vulnerably about what is actually alive within allows for deep intimacy. Invite your partner into your inner-experience and hold space for theirs. Though we tend to speak often, how often are we fully present in our conversations?

Studio
Located on the fifth floor of a quiet backyard building, Praxis Köpi offers a bright and peaceful setting—a perfect retreat for a weekend workshop. It’s an ideal refuge in both summer and winter. On hot summer days, we open the balcony door and the windows on the opposite side to let a continuous breeze flow through. In winter, it turns into a cozy haven.
Walk all the way to the second courtyard, take the stairs to the front door of the building and then make your way to the 5th floor. Please note that there is no elevator.
