Workshops
Beloved soul,
Welcome to the unfolding treasury of immersive workshops and experiences offered by this year’s Circle of Guides.
Across these spaces, you are invited to explore the many dimensions of being human – through breath and movement, creativity and ritual, intimacy and connection, ancient wisdom and emerging practices, deep inner inquiry and moments of collective aliveness.
Each workshop offers its own doorway – a different language, a different practice, a different way of meeting yourself and the world around you. Together, they weave into the wider journey of WE ARE ALL ONE – a remembrance that our individuality and our interconnectedness can and do exist side by side.
Come to learn, feel, experiment, soften, question, create, play, and remember.
Some experiences may take you inward, others into connection with those around you, while others may open entirely new ways of seeing what has been within you all along.
No single path exists through ADA – follow what awakens your curiosity, listen to what your body and intuition are drawn toward, and allow your own journey to reveal itself one experience at a time.
Explore the offerings below and discover the spaces calling you into deeper presence, connection, and aliveness.
*Please note that more workshops and experiences will be added in the coming weeks, while the complete daily programme and timings will be shared in the days leading up to our journey on the wonder island.

Initiation into Tantra
Workshop description
Tantra begins at the threshold where restraint gives way to full aliveness – the yes that comes after the no.
Over two immersive hours, you will be invited to explore where you contract, where you expand, and what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to meet life more fully. Through embodied practice and direct experience, this is an invitation to taste Tantra from within: to move beyond understanding it as an idea and begin experiencing it as something lived through the body.
You are coming to be initiated, not simply informed.
What you will receive
A felt map of the places where you contract and the places where you come alive. An embodied exploration of the movement from “no” into “yes” – experienced beyond theory, as something remembered by the body. You will also be invited to explore what it means to give yourself permission to be fully seen, to soften performance, and to meet yourself with greater honesty and aliveness.

Initiation into Tantra - The Chakra Map
Workshop description
This two-hour immersion offers a clear and embodied introduction to the chakra system, bringing an ancient energetic map into direct experience.
Moving through each centre one by one, you will be invited to pause, understand, feel and practice – gradually building greater awareness of how energy moves through your body and how each chakra expresses itself within your lived experience. Rather than approaching the system as something to simply learn or memorise, this workshop creates space to encounter it from within, through sensation, awareness and embodiment.
The intention is simplicity and clarity: to make the chakra map something you can feel, recognise and continue working with beyond the workshop itself.
What you will receive
You will meet each energetic centre as a felt quality rather than an abstract concept, becoming more aware of where energy is flowing freely and where it may feel stagnant or out of balance.
Through embodied practices for each chakra, you will explore ways to restore movement, support greater balance and consciously shift your own energetic alignment.
You will leave with a simple, practical set of tools that you can return to whenever you wish to reconnect with your body, your energy and your inner centre.

Remembering Somatic Wisdom
Workshop description
Join Leanne of Inner Waters for a somatic and energetic journey rooted in remembering the body’s innate wisdom.
Drawing from Leanne’s deep relationship with the element of water, this experience invites you into the fluid, feeling realm of your inner emotional landscape. Through guided embodied awareness, you will be supported to listen more closely to the subtle language of your body, meet what is ready to be felt, and create space for greater movement, presence and vitality within.
The work unfolds across multiple layers of experience and may move from moments of tenderness and stillness into more powerful emotional or somatic processes. Participants may encounter emotional release, bodily shaking, or other forms of nervous system discharge; shifts in temperature or sensation; deep insights; yawning; coughing; spontaneous movement; or periods of profound calm and spaciousness.
Every experience is individual. You are invited to arrive without expectation, with presence, openness and a willingness to meet whatever emerges in the moment.
Leanne will also be offering smaller, more intimate Inner Waters sessions throughout ADA for those who feel called to explore this work more deeply.
What you will receive
Through your willingness to slow down, feel and listen inwardly, this experience offers an opportunity to reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence and the natural movement of your inner emotional world.
You may leave with a greater sense of emotional fluidity, presence and aliveness, alongside deeper awareness of patterns of holding, tension or stagnation within the body. The practice may also support nervous system settling, personal insight and a renewed sense of connection with yourself.
Above all, Inner Waters offers a space to remember what it feels like to inhabit your body more fully, allowing what unfolds in the session to continue integrating in its own time.

Attuning Through Movement: Contact Improvisation Foundations
Workshop description
Discover the foundations of Contact Improvisation – an embodied practice where movement, connection and spontaneous creation meet.
Playful, grounding and deeply relational, this workshop invites you to explore your connection with the earth, your own body, your dance partner and the wider space around you. Through Leanne’s guidance, you will learn to listen through the body, attune to another person, and find greater ease and responsiveness within shared movement.
Together, we will explore foundational principles of Contact Improvisation including shared weight, trust, momentum, listening and spontaneous composition. Leanne will also offer her own perspectives and tools for deepening the practice, while creating space to notice the personal patterns, edges and relational dynamics that can arise when we move in close connection with others.
This workshop is open to complete beginners as well as experienced dancers wishing to return to the essentials with fresh awareness.
Come to move, connect, play, and rediscover the art of meeting one another in the present moment.
What you will receive
You will gain practical foundations for listening and attuning to the floor, your own body and your dance partners, alongside greater confidence in contact, shared weight and responsive movement.
The workshop offers an opportunity to deepen embodiment, expand your movement vocabulary and explore connection through the living language of dance – while experiencing the joy, creativity and presence that can emerge when movement is created together.

Multifaceted Humanitarian & An Instrument of Healing
Conscious Dancing
Workshop description
Conscious Dancing is a guided dance meditation in which movement becomes a gateway into deeper awareness, authentic expression and aliveness.
Practised with the eyes half-closed, attention turned inward and the body free from choreography, the experience invites you to move beyond habitual ways of dancing and into a more intuitive relationship with your own energy. Carefully selected music is woven together with moments of vocalisation, conscious breathing and free movement, creating a journey through expansion, vulnerability, empowerment, joy and surrender.
Rooted in the yogic principle that energy follows attention, Conscious Dancing guides awareness through the energy centres along the central axis of the body. The flow moves between fast and slow, masculine and feminine, powerful and delicate – gradually awakening what Devi describes as the vertical dimension of being.
Special attention is given to the heart centre as a bridge between our earthly and more expansive dimensions of experience, opening space for freedom, connection and unconditional love.
The practice was received by Devi Mohan in 2017 in the presence of Mohanji, inspired by his teachings on energising the central meridian through loving attention and shaped by Devi’s lifelong relationship with dance, yoga, martial arts and the celebration of life.
No previous dance experience is required. The practice is open to people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds who feel called to explore movement as a pathway into presence.
What you will receive
Conscious Dancing offers a direct experience of how breath, movement, music and focused attention can awaken a powerful sense of vitality and inner alignment from within.
As awareness travels through the body and its energetic centres, you will be invited to experience a deeper connection with your heart, your capacity for authentic expression and the natural joy that can emerge when the body is given permission to move freely.
The journey culminates in a shared celebration of unity, bringing the energy of the group together through movement, presence and collective intention. You may leave with a heightened sense of aliveness, openness and connection that continues to resonate beyond the dance itself.

Codes of Light
Workshop description
Codes of Light is a meditative and energetic journey into grounding, vertical alignment, heart-centred awareness and deep presence.
In a world that often keeps our attention moving outward, this experience invites you to return to the body, quiet the mind and reconnect with the subtler layers of your inner experience. Through guided meditation, breath, visualisation and energetic practices, participants will explore what Devi describes as the golden frequency of the Great Central Sun – a symbolic frequency of unconditional love, higher consciousness and the collective transformation unfolding on Earth.
Inspired by Devi Mohan’s near-death experience, her profound spiritual encounters and many years of inner exploration, Codes of Light creates a space for openness, receptivity and intuitive listening. Working with the symbolism of golden light, participants are invited to deepen their sensitivity to inner guidance, explore the energetic dimension of the body and become more attuned to the insights that may arise in states of expanded presence.
At its heart, this process is an invitation to remember and strengthen the inner connection from which greater clarity, love and conscious participation in life can emerge.
What you will receive
You will be introduced to practices drawn from Devi’s understanding of ancient Gnostic teachings and energetic traditions, exploring ways to cultivate discernment, strengthen inner alignment, and relate more consciously to the influences that shape our perception and experience.
Through meditation and focused awareness, the workshop will also explore the concepts of the Light Body and pineal centre as pathways for deepening intuition, expanding awareness and connecting with one’s highest potential.
You will leave with practices that can support greater presence, energetic sensitivity and inner clarity, alongside an invitation to bring these qualities into the way you relate, create and participate in community.

Women's Circle
Workshop description
Women’s Circle is a two-hour journey into sisterhood, embodiment and the remembrance of feminine wisdom.
Inspired by the ancient tradition of women gathering in circle, this experience creates a nurturing and intentional space for women to reconnect with themselves, one another and the deeper intelligence of the body. Through conscious movement, gentle yoga focused on the pelvic region, meditation, chanting, and guided inner exploration, participants will be invited to bring awareness to the heart, the yoni, and the womb space – understood here as centres of creativity, intuition, sensuality, and inner knowing.
The journey gradually leads into the heart of the experience: gathering together in circle and rediscovering the feminine art of presence, deep listening and holding space for one another. Each circle unfolds differently, shaped by the women who enter it and by Devi’s intuitive guidance in the moment.
For those who feel called, the experience may culminate in an optional collective immersion in the sea – an invitation to meet the element of water with freedom, playfulness and embodied sisterhood, always in honour of each woman’s personal boundaries and choice.
Devi began facilitating Women’s Circles following a profound spiritual experience she had at ADA in 2023, through which she felt a connection with what she understands as an ancient lineage of Balkan High Priestesses. Together with insights that later arose through past-life regression, this experience became an important source of inspiration for her work and a felt invitation to revive the practice of sacred feminine gathering.
What you will receive
Within the supportive field of the circle, you will be invited to deepen your relationship with your feminine essence, body and inner wisdom while experiencing the strength that can arise when women meet one another with authenticity and presence.
Through movement, meditation, voice, and shared ritual, the process creates space to explore patterns, emotions, and inherited stories that may be ready to be witnessed or released, while cultivating greater connection with the heart, pelvic space, and intuitive self.
Above all, the circle offers an experience of sisterhood: remembering how to witness, support and be witnessed by other women, and how much can become possible when we gather with openness, reverence and trust.
Duration
120 minutes
After two hours of the workshop, there is an additional option of going to the beach together in naked abandon, connecting more deeply with the element of water.

Beyond the Mechanics of Tantra
Workshop description
There are things the heart knows before the mind can name them, and there are parts of the body that may have been waiting a long time to be fully met.
Beyond the Mechanics of Tantra is an invitation to move past technique and into direct experience. Drawing from the precision of Human Design and the depth of ancient Tantric wisdom, this workshop explores the subtle architecture of heart and sexual energy, and the ways we sense, affect and respond to one another beyond words.
Rather than focusing on performance or prescribed ways of being intimate, we will explore the lived experience of connection itself: the electromagnetic field between bodies, the movement of emotional waves, the intelligence of the skin, and the ways breath, scent and sensation shape our perception of another.
The space is clothes-on, consent-forward and open to all levels of experience. You are invited to arrive exactly as you are, with curiosity toward what your body may already know.
Come as you are. Leave having felt more of what you are.
What you will receive
Through embodied exploration, participants will encounter one of the central paradoxes of human connection: the experience of being profoundly interconnected while remaining entirely unique.
The workshop offers practical and experiential tools for recognising your own energetic and emotional patterns, relating to difference with greater awareness, and meeting connection without abandoning your individuality.
You may leave with a deeper understanding of how intimacy can hold both unity and differentiation – and how greater peace becomes possible when we learn to honour both.

Undressed by Design
Workshop description
Many spiritual traditions speak of transcending the body in order to reach Oneness. Tantra offers another doorway: the body as temple. Human Design offers another map still: the body as a precise expression of our unique energetic architecture.
So where does truth live?
In this two-hour immersive experience, we will explore the mechanics of Human Design – including aura, Energy Type and layers of conditioning – through an embodied and Tantric lens. Rather than using these systems to define or improve who you are, the invitation is to notice what has been learned, performed, suppressed or adapted along the way, and to reconnect with what feels most original and alive beneath those layers.
Through breathwork, somatic activation and partnered practices, we will explore the relationship between desire, design and consciousness, asking what becomes possible when the body is no longer something to override, but something to listen to.
The journey moves from self-consciousness toward a deeper awareness of Self: a place where individuality and interconnectedness can coexist, and where your own life force becomes something to recognise rather than manufacture.
What you will receive
You will be invited to experience, rather than simply understand, the difference between conditioned desire and authentic life force.
Through direct embodied exploration, you will begin to recognise how truth expresses itself through your own body, where conditioning may interfere with that signal, and what greater inner alignment can feel like when there is more space to listen.
The workshop offers practical reference points for relating to desire, energy and decision-making with greater awareness, while deepening your trust in the intelligence of your own design.

The Wave (Emotions beyond Your Design)
Workshop description
The emotional wave is not something to fight or control. Within Human Design, it is understood as a form of intelligence – one that moves in cycles, rises and falls, and asks to be experienced rather than immediately resolved.
The Wave is an embodied exploration of the Human Design emotional system through movement, breath, sound and collective presence. Together, we will move through the different qualities of an emotional cycle – the low, the amplification, the rising tide, the peak and the return to shore – allowing the body to experience what a wave actually does when it is given space to move.
Rather than asking you to suppress, explain or perform your emotions, this workshop invites you to become more intimate with their rhythm. Through guided somatic practices and vocal expression, you will explore the difference between being consumed by an emotional state and learning how to remain present while it moves through you.
The intention is not to become less emotional, but to develop a more embodied relationship with the intelligence of your own emotional landscape.
What you will receive
You will leave with a more embodied understanding of how emotional waves move through your system and how your own patterns may differ from those of the people around you.
The workshop offers practical ways to recognise emotional intensity without immediately reacting to it, create more space around what you feel, and begin distinguishing between being overwhelmed by a wave and learning how to move with it.
You may also gain a new perspective on some of the ways you were taught to manage or contain emotion, and discover what becomes possible when feeling is approached with greater awareness, permission and trust.

The Altar of Desire – Eros as a Sacred Practice
Workshop description
Desire is not something to manage, suppress or hide. When met consciously, it can become a current that leads us deeper into truth, connection and the sacred.
In this embodied exploration, Eros is approached as devotion: the experience of wanting and being wanted, touching and being touched, and allowing desire itself to become a form of prayer. Through breath, presence, somatic awareness and conscious relational practices, you will be invited to meet your own desire with greater honesty, curiosity and permission.
Together, we will explore what becomes possible when desire is freed from shame, expectation and performance, and when intimacy begins from a place of genuine presence. The practice creates space to listen to what you truly want, recognise what you do not want, and communicate both with greater clarity and care.
This is an invitation to experience Eros not as something to achieve, but as a living intelligence that can deepen your relationship with yourself, with others and with life itself.
What you will receive
You will be invited to cultivate greater self-acceptance around desire and explore the difference between authentic wanting and the desires we may have learned to perform or suppress.
Through embodied and relational practices, you will develop greater clarity in expressing desires, boundaries and consent, while experiencing forms of intimacy rooted in presence rather than performance.
You will leave with practical tools for listening to your body, communicating more authentically and bringing a more conscious relationship with desire into everyday life – alongside the possibility of deeper connection with yourself and others.

Healing Through Authentic Human Connection
Workshop description
We do not awaken alone – every person we meet can become a mirror, reflecting our beauty, our defences, our longing, our joy, our wounds, and the parts of ourselves still waiting to be met with greater love and awareness.
This experiential workshop is an invitation into authentic human connection through vulnerability, play, embodiment, eye contact, movement, and conscious relating.
Rather than focusing on techniques or prescribed ways of connecting, we will practice presence: noticing what arises within us when we truly meet another person, and allowing that encounter to reveal something about ourselves.
Through a series of embodied and relational practices, you will be invited to soften habitual masks, become more aware of projection and protective patterns, and explore what it feels like to meet another person with greater openness, curiosity and compassion.
At its heart, this workshop reminds us that connection can become a path of self-discovery – and that in truly seeing one another, we may also begin to see ourselves more clearly.
What you will receive
You will be invited to explore the courage of allowing yourself to be seen more fully, while practising how to meet others with greater presence and less performance.
Through embodied connection, you will develop greater awareness of the projections and assumptions that can shape relationships, and explore how curiosity and compassion can create more space for genuine contact.
The experience offers an opportunity to open the heart, deepen relational presence and reconnect with the shared humanity that exists beneath our differences.

The Untamed Infinite Heart
Workshop description
Who are you beneath your roles, your stories, your wounds, and the identities you have inherited?
This workshop is an experiential journey beyond the layers of personality and into a deeper encounter with your authentic nature. Through movement, breath, emotional expression, archetypal embodiment, conscious connection and community ritual, you will be invited to explore what remains when familiar identities begin to soften, and there is more space to simply be.
Rather than rejecting any part of yourself, the practice welcomes both light and shadow into awareness. By meeting the parts you celebrate alongside the parts you may hide, resist or judge, you can begin to relate to yourself with greater wholeness and compassion.
As the journey unfolds, the boundary between personal exploration and collective connection begins to soften. Remembering yourself becomes inseparable from remembering one another, revealing the shared humanity and deeper interconnectedness beneath our individual stories.
This is not an invitation to become someone new. It is an invitation to return more fully to what has been here all along – and to experience, through the body, the possibility that beneath our differences, we are all one.
What you will receive
You will be invited to experience greater freedom from identities and stories that may have become limiting, while developing a more compassionate relationship with both the light and shadow within you.
Through embodied and relational practices, you will deepen emotional presence, expand self-awareness and explore more authentic ways of meeting yourself and others.
The workshop offers a felt experience of belonging, interconnectedness and unity, alongside the possibility of remembering yourself as both a unique individual and an inseparable part of something greater.

Erotic & Ritual Bodypainting
Workshop description
Inspired by ancestral body-painting rituals found across cultures around the world, this workshop explores the body as more than a surface for decoration – as a sacred vessel, a living canvas and an expression of the divine.
Through colour, touch, symbols, forms and geometries, participants will be invited into a sensory and creative exploration of the body as the temple of the Soul. The practice draws on the ancient relationship between body, nature, and ritual, opening a space to reconnect with instinct, sensitivity, presence, and the expressive language that exists beyond words.
At the heart of the experience is an exploration of sensual and erotic energy as a source of aliveness, creativity and expanded awareness. Through conscious encounter and non-verbal expression, participants will be invited to notice habitual ways of relating, soften social masks and explore connection with greater presence – always while honouring individual boundaries, choice and consent.
Participants will also have the opportunity to experience ritual body painting directly with a partner, using colour and conscious touch as forms of communication. The process becomes an exploration of creativity, trust and presence, allowing symbols and patterns to emerge intuitively across the body.
All materials required for the experience, including professional body-painting colours, brushes and artistic tools, will be provided. All colours are certified, skin-safe and specifically designed for body art.
What you will receive
You will be invited to experience body painting as a symbolic, embodied ritual that reconnects creativity with the sacredness of the body.
Through colour, touch, and non-verbal expression, you will explore sensual and erotic energy as dimensions of aliveness, while developing greater awareness of sensation, presence, and the subtle ways you relate to yourself and others.
The workshop offers space to deepen trust, vulnerability and authentic self-expression, while discovering an intuitive visual language through symbols, patterns and body art.
You may leave feeling more connected to your body, your creativity and your capacity for conscious connection – with a renewed appreciation for the body as both an artistic medium and a sacred vessel.

SOMA: A Journey Through Light, Sound & Consciousness
Workshop description
Explore how carefully designed light and sound frequencies can influence brainwave activity and support shifts into deeply relaxed and expanded states of awareness.
Blending neuroscience with immersive technology, this workshop offers a guided experience with SOMA light and sound, inviting participants to rest, turn their attention inward, and explore the relationship between sensory stimulation, brainwave entrainment and altered states of consciousness.
Alongside the experiential journey, Erblina will introduce the science behind how rhythmic light and sound can interact with the brain and influence states of attention, relaxation and perception.
No previous experience is required. You are simply invited to lie back, soften into the experience and observe what unfolds.
What you will receive
You will experience a guided SOMA light and sound journey while gaining an accessible understanding of brainwave entrainment and its relationship to different states of consciousness.
The experience may support deep relaxation, mental spaciousness, creativity, and a greater sense of inner balance, while offering an opportunity to explore consciousness through a safe, non-invasive sensory practice.
You will also leave with practical insights into how intentionally shifting states of awareness can become a supportive tool for wellbeing, self-exploration and personal growth.

Guide of Embodied Creativity
ELEMENT: One Clay, Infinite Forms
Workshop description
This workshop invites you to slow down, return to yourself, and encounter clay as more than a material.
Clay is earth in one of its most tangible forms. It reminds us that everything begins from the same source, while every form that emerges from it is entirely unique.
The experience begins with a short guided meditation and intention-setting practice. With eyes closed, participants will first meet the clay through touch, noticing its weight, texture and presence before beginning to shape it.
Through gentle reflection, you will be invited to listen for what wishes to emerge – perhaps a symbol of an intention, a memory, a feeling, a transition, a personal quality, or simply a form that asks to be created.
Rather than deciding everything with the mind, the practice invites you to trust the conversation between your hands, the clay and the present moment.
There is no right or wrong result. Clay naturally invites play, curiosity, patience and presence, while gently softening the need for perfection.
Clay forgives.
If something does not feel right, it can be reshaped. In this way, the material becomes a quiet reminder that we, too, are always capable of beginning anew.
Throughout the process, participants can personalise their pieces through textures, symbols, fingerprints, letters or impressions from nature, allowing each object to become a unique expression of the experience.
The pieces will not be kiln-fired during ADA, but participants may carefully take them home as delicate keepsakes or choose to continue the process by having them fired at a ceramic studio afterwards.
At its heart, this workshop is a remembrance: we all come from the same earth. We take different forms, carry different stories and leave different marks, yet remain part of the same living whole.
Leave Your Mark.
What you will receive
You will experience a grounding creative practice that brings together mindfulness, self-reflection and artistic expression.
Working directly with clay offers an opportunity to reconnect with the intelligence of the hands, slow the pace of the mind and explore creativity through presence rather than perfection. Each participant will create a personal object shaped by their own intention, feeling or experience of the moment.
Through the process, clay becomes a mirror for how we relate to ourselves: how we respond when something changes shape, when an outcome differs from what we imagined, and when we are invited to soften, adapt, or begin again.
You will leave with a handmade clay piece, a deeper connection to your own creative nature, and a renewed sense of relationship with the Earth, yourself and the shared source from which every unique form arises.

Guardian of Conscious Temple Culture
Consent, Boundaries & Desires are Sexy
Workshop description
Boundaries and consent are the foundation of every meaningful encounter.
When we can recognise what is true for us, communicate it clearly, and trust that our choices will be respected, connection becomes safer, freer, and more authentic. A clear “no” creates space for an honest “yes,” while understanding our own desires allows us to meet others without abandoning ourselves in the process.
This educational and interactive workshop creates a space to explore consent, boundaries and desire in a practical, embodied and open way. Drawing from Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent and the R.B.D.S.M.-Talk, Lexmy will guide participants through different relational dynamics, helping us become more aware of how we ask, receive, give, choose and communicate within connection.
Together, we will explore how consent goes far beyond simply asking for permission. It includes noticing our own internal signals, distinguishing genuine desire from obligation or people-pleasing, changing our minds, communicating limits, hearing another person’s boundaries without taking them personally, and staying attentive to the subtle dynamics of power, expectation, and energy that can arise between people.
The workshop also invites us to become more comfortable with both our “yes” and our “no,” recognising that neither needs justification. When boundaries are clear and respected, they do not diminish intimacy – they create the trust and spaciousness in which deeper intimacy, play and exploration can become possible.
Through conversation, reflection and interactive exercises, participants will have the opportunity to strengthen their relational awareness and develop a shared language for navigating intimate and embodied spaces with greater confidence, responsibility and care.
This workshop is required for anyone wishing to enter ADA’s Temple Nights, ensuring that everyone who steps into these spaces shares a common understanding of consent, boundaries, communication and personal responsibility.
What you will receive
You will develop greater confidence in recognising, expressing, and honouring your own yes, no, and maybe, while becoming more attentive to others’ boundaries and signals.
You will gain a clearer understanding of consent as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time agreement, along with practical tools for communicating desires, asking for what you want, declining what you do not want, and navigating moments of uncertainty or changing consent.
The workshop will also offer insight into relational and energetic dynamics that can influence intimate encounters, supporting greater awareness of patterns such as people-pleasing, assumption, pressure or over-responsibility.
Above all, you will leave with a stronger embodied sense that your boundaries belong to you, your desires are yours to communicate, and authentic connection becomes possible when everyone involved has the freedom to choose.

Temple Night - Intimacy Beyond Form
Workshop description
What if intimacy could mean far more than romance, touch or sexuality?
This Temple Night invites you to explore intimacy as a way of meeting life itself – through presence, sensation, emotion, desire, creativity, vulnerability, and authentic connection.
Together, we will co-create an intentional space where you can deepen your relationship with yourself, with others, and with the life force moving through you. All of you is welcome here, while nothing is ever required to happen. Every invitation is optional, every boundary is honoured, and your own inner signals remain at the centre of the experience.
Throughout the evening, we will explore what becomes possible when intimacy is freed from expectation and performance. Rather than trying to create a particular kind of encounter, you will be invited to notice what is already alive within you: joy, tenderness, playfulness, longing, desire, grief, fear, expansion, resistance, love, or simply stillness.
As we gather with presence and a willingness to meet one another authentically, a collective field can begin to emerge – one shaped by the people within it and greater than any individual experience. Within this field, nothing needs to be fixed, forced or transformed. Whatever arises can simply be witnessed and met with curiosity, care and compassion.
Through embodied and relational explorations, we will practice staying connected to ourselves while staying connected with others. We will listen more closely to the body, honour clear boundaries and consent, and explore the difference between following expectation and responding to what is genuinely true in the moment.
You may encounter pleasure or discomfort, connection or solitude, openness or contraction – there is no destination you need to reach. The invitation is simply to remain present enough to discover what intimacy wants to reveal when we allow it to exist in its full spectrum.
What you will receive
You will be invited into a lived experience of intimacy as something much wider than romance, touch or sexuality – something that can exist within presence, truth, emotion, creativity and the simple act of deeply meeting what is.
Through the evening, you may develop a greater capacity to remain present with both pleasure and discomfort, while becoming more familiar with your own boundaries, desires, and internal yes, no, and maybe.
The experience offers space to deepen your relationship with your body and emotional landscape, recognise patterns of protection or contraction with greater compassion, and discover new possibilities for connection rooted in sensitivity rather than performance or expectation.
Above all, this Temple Night invites you to experience what can emerge when a group of people meets with authenticity, responsibility and openness – and to remember intimacy as a quality of presence that can extend far beyond the Temple and into the way you meet life itself.

Time Keeper & Custodian of the Five Elements Wisdom
Mastering the Five Elements
Workshop description
Across many ancient spiritual, philosophical and esoteric traditions, the elements of Nature have been used as a map for understanding both the world around us and the forces moving within us.
Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether (Spirit; Space) each carry distinct qualities, expressions and forms of intelligence. Together, they offer a language through which we can explore our character, emotions, patterns, relationships and the way we move through life.
In this workshop, Marin will guide participants into the wisdom of the Five Elements as a practice of inner balance. Rather than approaching them only as abstract symbols, we will explore how each element can be recognised in our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions – where certain qualities may be naturally strong, where others may be underexpressed, and how imbalance can shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us.
Drawing inspiration from ancient elemental teachings and Marin’s own study and practice, the workshop invites participants to look toward Nature as a teacher. Just as the natural world continuously moves toward balance, we can learn to recognise and consciously work with the elemental forces within ourselves.
The intention is not to become dominated by any one element, but to develop a more harmonious relationship between them – cultivating greater stability, adaptability, vitality, spaciousness and awareness in the way we live.
What you will receive
You will learn how the qualities of the Five Elements can express themselves within personality, emotions, behaviour and everyday life.
Through reflection and practical exploration, you will begin to identify which elemental qualities feel most present within you, where imbalance may arise, and how you can consciously strengthen or soften particular elements to support greater inner harmony.
Marin will also share perspectives from traditional elemental wisdom, including teachings and connections that are less commonly encountered today.
You will leave with a practical framework for continuing to observe and work with the Five Elements in your own life, using Nature’s intelligence as a guide toward greater balance and self-awareness.

Calendar from Atlantis
Workshop description
How we measure time shapes how we understand ourselves, our societies, and our relationship with the natural world.
In this workshop, Marin Vayu invites you to explore the history and meaning of calendars, asking what becomes possible when we approach time not only as something to measure, but as something to live in relationship with.
At the heart of the experience is the Five Elements Calendar, a system created – or, as Marin describes it, rediscovered – through his study of elemental wisdom, natural cycles and ancient approaches to timekeeping.
Designed around the movements of the Sun and Moon and the rhythms of Nature, the calendar is intended not only as a way of tracking time, but as a tool for self-observation, personal development, and inner balance.
Marin proposes that just as the wisdom of the Five Elements appears across many esoteric and spiritual traditions, similar elemental principles may also lie beneath some of humanity’s earliest systems of measuring time. It is from this possibility, and from the idea of an ancient source of knowledge shared across civilisations, that he gives the system its evocative name: The Calendar from Atlantis.
Throughout the workshop, participants will be invited to reconsider the Gregorian calendar we use today and explore how modern timekeeping can distance us from direct awareness of seasonal, lunar, and solar rhythms.
More than a conversation about dates and months, this is an invitation to question our relationship with time itself – and to imagine what a calendar might look like if it were created as a bridge between human life and the cycles of Nature.
What you will receive
You will explore how calendars have influenced the development of civilisations and their relationship with agriculture, astronomy, religion, ritual and social organisation.
Marin will introduce key moments in the evolution of different calendar systems and share lesser-known perspectives on how the calendar used by much of the world today came to take its present form.
You will also be introduced to the principles of the Five Elements Calendar and Marin’s perspective on the relationship between elemental wisdom, solar and lunar cycles, and personal balance.
The workshop offers a new lens through which to consider time – not simply as a sequence of days to organise, but as a living rhythm that can deepen our awareness of Nature, ourselves and the cycles through which we move.

Guide Through the Wisdom of Breath & Cold
Awaken Through Breath & Ice
Workshop description
Awaken Through Breath & Ice is a guided journey into presence, conscious breathing and the transformative encounter with cold.
Rather than beginning with intensity, the experience unfolds gradually, allowing time for the body to settle, awareness to deepen, and trust to develop within the group. The journey begins with something we carry with us every moment of our lives, yet so often forget to notice – the breath.
Through simple awareness practices, reflection, and an introduction to conscious breathing, participants will first explore their relationship with the breath and how it responds to different states of the body and mind. Each person will also be invited to connect with an intention for the experience – creating an inner point of reference to return to throughout the journey.
From there, Betika guides the group into a meditative breathwork process that begins gently with nasal and diaphragmatic breathing, then gradually moves into a more active practice inspired by the Wim Hof Method, including conscious breathing and breath retention.
Her intuitive guidance and meditation accompany the process throughout, allowing the experience to become more than a breathing technique and opening space for deeper presence, sensation and inner awareness.
After the breathwork, there is time to remain in stillness and integrate before approaching the cold.
For Betika, the ice bath is not a challenge, competition or test of endurance – it is a continuation of the meditation.
Participants who choose to enter the ice will be guided to meet the body’s natural response to cold with awareness, gradually returning attention to the breath and exploring whether intensity can coexist with softness, presence and inner steadiness.
The cold becomes an opportunity to notice resistance without fighting it, to listen closely to the body, and to discover what happens when we remain connected to ourselves within an unfamiliar experience.
After leaving the water, participants will learn simple warming, breathing, and movement practices they can carry into everyday life as tools for reconnecting with the body and returning to a greater sense of grounded presence.
The journey closes together in a circle of reflection and gratitude, allowing space to acknowledge both the individual and collective experience.
For Betika, the breath is not the destination – the breath is the path. And the deeper invitation of the cold lies not in conquering it, but in discovering how we choose to meet ourselves while moving through something that once seemed impossible.
Please note: Participation in this workshop is required for anyone wishing to join the ice bath immersions offered throughout ADA. Ice bath sessions will be booked separately and will include a small additional contribution.
What you will receive
You will be guided into a deeper relationship with your breath, body and inner awareness, experiencing conscious breathing not simply as a technique but as a practical pathway back into presence.
Through the gradual progression from breathwork into cold exposure, you will have the opportunity to observe your relationship with discomfort, resistance and fear, while exploring how breath and attention can support greater steadiness within intensity.
The experience may strengthen your trust in your capacity to listen to and respond to your body, while offering a different relationship with the cold – one based on presence and curiosity rather than force or endurance.
You will also leave with accessible breathing, movement, and warming practices that you can integrate into everyday life whenever you wish to pause, reconnect with yourself, and consciously meet moments of stress or intensity.
Above all, this workshop invites you to remember that one of your most immediate resources is always with you: your breath and your ability to return to yourself through it.

One Divine Love - Ecstatic Breath of Love & Light
Workshop description
One Divine Love is an embodied breathwork journey into the meeting of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine within ourselves and within the collective.
Inspired by the ancient principle of Hieros Gamos – the sacred inner union of feminine and masculine essences – this experience invites participants to explore vulnerability, compassion, presence and unconditional love through breath and conscious connection.
The journey begins by gathering in a mandala, with the feminine and masculine principles held symbolically within two circles. From there, participants are guided into eye gazing and consciously connected breath, creating an opportunity to experience what it means to be both seen and witnessed beyond the roles and protections we may ordinarily carry.
Supported by music and Sophia Magdalena’s guidance, the breath becomes a pathway through emotion, tenderness, joy, laughter, intensity and stillness. Rather than asking for any particular emotional response, the practice invites whatever is present to be met with awareness, compassion, and permission.
As individual breath gradually becomes collective breath, the workshop explores the possibility of experiencing connection beyond separation – recognising another person not as someone fundamentally different from us, but as another expression of the same living consciousness.
At its heart, One Divine Love invites us to remember the sacredness within both our feminine and masculine qualities and to experience how their integration can create greater balance, openness, and love within ourselves and in the way we meet one another.
What you will receive
You will be invited to explore seeing and being seen with greater openness, allowing both feminine and masculine aspects of yourself to be witnessed without needing to perform or conceal them.
Through eye gazing, conscious breath, and collective presence, the workshop may create space for emotional expression, vulnerability, and a deeper connection with the qualities of love, compassion, and inner wholeness.
You will also have the opportunity to experience breath as a bridge between individuality and connection – recognising yourself in another while remaining rooted in your own presence.
The journey ultimately offers a felt exploration of Sophia Magdalena’s central teaching: that the Source of Divine Love is something we can encounter within ourselves and share through conscious connection with one another.

Embodying Love - Sacred Tantric Breath
Workshop description
Embodying Love is a journey of radical self-inquiry, conscious breath and compassionate remembrance.
Many of us carry stories about whether we are lovable, worthy, desirable or deserving of pleasure, joy and connection. Some were formed through our own experiences, while others may have been absorbed through family, culture or relationships. Over time, these beliefs can shape how we meet ourselves and how much love we allow ourselves to receive.
This workshop creates a space to bring those stories into awareness with curiosity rather than judgment.
Beginning with a guided meditation and radical inquiry practice, participants will be invited to explore their relationship with the inner Beloved – noticing memories, beliefs and emotional patterns connected with love, rejection, worthiness and belonging.
From this place of awareness, Sophia Magdalena guides participants into her Love’s Breath practice: an extended conscious breathwork journey supported by sacred music. The breath becomes an opportunity to stay present with whatever arises and to gently create space around beliefs or emotions that may have felt fixed.
Compassion and forgiveness are woven throughout the process, inviting participants to return beneath learned narratives toward a more essential relationship with innocence, self-acceptance and love.
The experience concludes with integration and a sharing circle, allowing participants to ground what has emerged and reconnect with the collective space.
At the heart of the workshop lies a simple remembrance – love is not something we must earn; it is something we can learn to recognise and embody from within.
What you will receive
Participants will be invited to recognise beliefs, fears or patterns that may influence their capacity to receive love, experience pleasure or feel worthy of connection.
Through radical inquiry and conscious breathwork, you will have the opportunity to meet these inner narratives with greater compassion and explore what becomes possible when you no longer treat them as unquestionable truths.
The workshop offers an embodied experience of reconnecting with self-love, acceptance, and the felt sense of an inner source of love, alongside greater awareness of how past experiences may continue to shape present relationships.
You may leave with greater emotional spaciousness, a renewed relationship with your worth, and a deeper connection to the possibility of choosing how you wish to meet yourself and others moving forward.

A Love’s Breath Journey - One Source of Divine Love
Workshop description
A Love’s Breath Journey explores sensuality, innocence, self-acceptance, and the sacredness of our life force.
Through guided self-inquiry, conscious breathing and sound, participants will be invited to explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped their relationship with their bodies, sensuality, sexuality and capacity for pleasure.
The journey begins with compassionate awareness: noticing judgments, shame, guilt or conditioning that may have influenced how freely we inhabit and express ourselves. Rather than pushing these parts away, the practice invites us to meet them with curiosity, forgiveness and tenderness, creating greater space for a more accepting relationship with the body and the self.
From there, Sophia Magdalena guides the group into an extended Love’s Breath and sound journey. Through breath, sensation and inward attention, participants are invited to reconnect with the qualities of sensuality, beauty, pleasure, joy and creative life force that Sophia understands as expressions of our Divine Feminine and Masculine nature.
The experience culminates in a shared ceremonial space, bringing participants back into connection with one another and exploring the possibility of recognising the sacred not only within ourselves, but reflected through those around us.
This workshop holds sensual and sexual energy as part of our wider human aliveness – something that can be approached with innocence, reverence, compassion and conscious awareness.
What you will receive
You will be invited to explore your relationship with sensuality, pleasure, sexuality and the body through a spiritual and embodied lens.
Through self-inquiry, conscious breath, and sound, you may become more aware of conditioned beliefs, shame, guilt, or fear that influence how you experience and express your sensual nature, while creating space to relate to these patterns with greater compassion.
The practice offers an opportunity to reconnect with pleasure as a dimension of aliveness and to explore what Sophia describes as the erotic innocence within our feminine and masculine sacredness.
You may leave with a more accepting relationship with your body, greater permission for authentic sensual expression, and a deeper sense of connection between sexuality, creativity, love and the unique expression of your whole being.
