RAJA Lovers Retreat

What is the Essence of Desire, of Pleasure? Is it possible to use them as a stepping stone to Consciousness? Or is all a source of suffering? Desire and pleasure are part of the journey of life. They motivate our actions, decisions, and relationships. We get some momentary fulfilments from them and some frustrations too! The frustrations lead to more desire for pleasurable moments. It goes on and on. We are prisoners of this loop, and this generates a lot of suffering.
Is there a way out of the loop which doesn’t condemn pleasure and desire?
Tantra has developed methods teaching us to be desireless in desire.
How is that possible?
Entering the emptiness of the Heart is the essential Step!
The Raja Lovers Retreat explores this step through a Ritual involving the embrace, the caresses, and the kisses between two lovers. All the intimate gestures of the lovers are a means to fuse the body with intense life energy. While channelling this energy to the Heart, we provoke a meeting beyond ego, personality, restricted beliefs, and dreams. A true meeting happens by blending refined physical sensations with high awareness, discipline, and devotion during the Ritual.
The preparation for the Ritual during the retreat invites the lovers to move out of mechanical sex and mind projections and expectations. It is a profound enquiry into the body’s rhythms, breath, mind and the emptiness of the Heart. The retreat supports lovers in awakening their energies and bodies to refined sensitivity and vitality to activate their potential for love and consciousness.
What does Pema say about the Ritual?
“There are a few aspects of lovemaking from the Raja Ritual. The first one consists of realising that all the postures we take in sexual intercourse are a yoga of creation with specific patterns of energies. During the Ritual, you tap into these patterns to extract forces uplifting you into the Heart.
The second aspect concerns the biological aspect of the energy present during intercourse. If not used for creating a child, this aspect can be used for another type of creation. In the Ritual, you combine the energy patterns mentioned above with the biological element of creation to generate inner and outer forms of creation. It is a mysterious process that shifts intercourse into a new dimension.
Another aspect is about Desire, one of the powerful energies fuelling the Raja Ritual. There is a deep understanding of desire: whatever we desire, we want to be one with. It means desire is also a key to oneness. In the Ritual, we tap into desire to come to a point of unity where we become desireless at the peak of desire. It is a powerful transformation, bringing about a state of wonder, freedom and peace beyond words…”

- Pema Walk in Beauty, books where Pema transmits her Tantric experiences through stories which reveal Tantric wisdom from various lineages.
Her unique way of transmitting Tantra carries within it a great deal of wildness, love, sharpness and an unpredictable sense of humour, all of which add freshness to the intensive retreats which she leads around the globe.

Men Retreat
Apr 18 - 25•private or shared room•from 980 euro
Join this retreat if you are looking for some real quality time, completely dedicated to yourself. This week is an opportunity to enjoy holiday vibes on the beautiful island of Sardinia and to find new inspiration.
The program is a mix of spending time at the pool, playing soccer at the beach and bringing awareness to life-challenges through bodywork, meditations & breath work sessions.
Why is this a men-only retreat and what will you get out of it?
For generations, men are raised with the idea that they always need to be strong and can't show any signs of weakness or pain.
These outdated stereotypes created a world full of men that have difficulties to allow their inevitable doubts, hiding their emotions and therefore feeling flattened and disconnected.
This leaves many men feeling empty and wondering: is this really all there is?
This inspired us to organize Men Retreats that help men to take the next step in their lives.
In the first editions, we experienced that a man to man environment makes it easier to discover what is really happening inside. The brotherhood opens up a space where we can reconnect with fulfilment and joy again.
So, we invite all men who are in the need for some well-deserved relaxation and those who are ready for a down-to-earth opportunity towards emotional growth.
You will be able to recharge your batteries and go home with many new insights about yourself and what really matters to you in life.
Perfect for all levels and backgrounds. In the previous editions participated a mix of entrepreneurs, professional athletes, psychologists, corporate managers, creatives, a tour guide, yoga teachers, a DJ, students, a chef, medical doctor, and men in between careers looking for a new direction in life.
Soul Valley is situated in a private valley with amazing views. You will enjoy true silence, clean air and starry nights in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world: Sardinia.
Everything is included: seven nights in a boutique room with supersized beds and en-suite bathroom, incredible food, drinks (we serve no alcohol during the retreat) and access to the spa and sea-view pool.
Arrival is on Saturday between 15.00 and 21:00. Check-out is Saturday morning before 10.00.
We will organize combined vans between Cagliari international airport and the venue on arrival and departure day (not included, 40 euro p.p. one-way).
You have two options:
- share a twin room with two separate single beds with another participant, price 980 euro
- a private single room with queen-size bed, price 1.400 euro
