DIVE & DEEPEN – live retreat 6. – 8. June
1h from Berlin

An offering for BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) & Bodies of Culture,  facilitators and space holders of the Global Majority

Through a somatic approach, we set the stage for a deeper collective understanding of decoloniality as a new/ancient way of being and its relevance in the current inner and outer crisis(es) and the spaces we wish to (co)create. 

We practice expanding in discomfort in order to enable a space where the unknown becomes known and where pleasure, grief and longing expand, queer and open up a space where we remember our birthright to be (in) bliss. Working at the intersections of embodiment, prayer and social justice, we will co-create a nourishing space for us to (un)learn, be together as space dreamers and encounter our bodies as territories where (de)coloniality takes place.

Some of the topics that we will explore are: 

  • foundations of embodied social justice
  • tending to internalised white-bodied supremacy culture
  • mending a history of separation
  • decolonial spirituality
  • the imaginal as possibility 

Some of the methods we will practice are:

  • journaling
  • story-telling
  • poetry & spell-casting 
  • guided movement and meditation
  • crafting 
  • play
  • walks in the forest 
  • ritualwork

DIVE & DEEPEN – live retreat

When: 06. – 08. June 2025 Fr 15h – Sun 16h

Where: Groß Kreutz/Havel, 1 h west of Berlin
Unfortunately, the location is not (yet) wheelchair accessible. Wishing to accommodate the needs for different kinds of physical disabilities, please write to me so we can figure out together what we can do to make your participation possible.

Who: Indigenous, Black, People of Color, Sinti*zze & Rom*nja and Bodies of Culture

For white passing bodies of culture, I acknowledge that a strategy of white supremacy is to erase culture and dilute meaning. I ask that people who profit from white privilege and have a lived experience of being treated as white, please attend the group for white bodies. For those who are white passing and experience racism in their daily lives, I invite you to join the WITH ALL of life group, aware that your experience as a racialised body will be at the center and not your proximity to whiteness. 

Language: The shared (spoken) language will be English. You are welcome to share in German, Spanish or other languages and I trust that we can collectively support each other with needed translation.

Costs: incl. 3 live online calls & live retreat: vegan food and accommodation on mattresses or in your own tent.

Overflowing fee: 390-430 EUR

Regular fee: 210-390 EUR

Low(er) income: 110-210 EUR

I wish that anyone -regardless of their income- will be able to participate. I ask everyone to contribute as much as it is available to them so that the costs of the event are covered.

For people with particularly low incomes or who experience financial stress, there is also the possibility of scholarships and/or installment payments. Please note this in your registration.

*Single/double rooms can be booked for 35 or 50 euros/night. On this note, I wish to be alert about the monetisation of the access to rest and sleep. 

If you are needing a single/double room and are TRULLY unable to pay for it, please mention it in your application. I will do my best to open possibilities of deep(er) rest for all.
