Drop into the endless possibilities of human relating.

Dual awareness is the ability to hold two different streams of awareness at the same time. During the retreat you will practice being in your embodied expression, while at the same time being transparent to others with what is coming alive in your experience.

My teacher, Buster Rådvik, calls this practice “The Love Making Ritual”. Love in this context is not seen in its narrow romantic sense, but as a way of finding and flowing in the current of love that can exist between any two people. It is being in attuned flow with oneself and another which can be sometimes close, sometimes distant, sometimes playful, nurturing, serious or sensual. Always depending on what is alive in the present context.

Leaving pre-thought ideas behind of what the interaction should be like and meeting what is truly present in the relational dynamic. As we make our internal experience more visible, we simultaneously build love and acceptance towards different parts of our experience and let go of unnecessary shame.

As trust and communication deepen, the practice may open into explorations involving touch. This will happen simultaneously with teaching of consent and boundaries.

The voluntary shifts help us to keep the prices low and increase the sense of belonging and connection.

My journet towards conscious living began over 10 years ago when I studied to become a yoga teacher in India. Since then I have explored ways of living that cultivate wellbeing and life force. This path has brought me into qigong, tantra, burner-community, hospice care, body work and contact improvisation.

Some years ago I decided to leave behind my former career as a data scientist and focus my energy in creating a culture that truly inspires me. To improve my skills as a facilitator I participated into the The Field Facilitator Training in 2024. In group spaces I am interested in cultivating presence, attunement and courageousness in being with the truth that unfolds.
