Simon Paul Sutton
An alchemist of love. Author of Burglar to Buddha, transforming from the inside out. Creator of ‘NAKED The Retreat’ a 10-day transformational incubator inviting a deep inquiry within, to face our lies, undress our radical truth, reclaim our aliveness, and live embodied in our erotic sovereignty, NAKED and free.
During his training as 'sexological bodyworker' he profoundly realised ‘the guru’ was hidden in his pants and his sex was a hidden pathway to truth. He took this wisdom to further support others to experience this through self-pleasure rituals and guided choreographies, reframing the sin of masturbation into a self-loving meditation.
Drawing experience, skills, and tools from, professional acting, temple arts, yoga, motivational speaking, MC, mentoring, PT, massage therapy, sexological bodyworker, breathwork, neotantra & transformational facilitation, he impressively weaves direct life experience and a whole heap of fun & laughter into his talks, sessions, temples, workshops & retreats.

Zoka
As a world-wanderer, I travel through many levels of existence.
I coach people to open up to the beauty of life by letting go of their attachments and reconnect to their life-force.
With Breath-work, I discovered a way to create this space without medicine.
My heart's desire is to guide you into the deep stillness that permeates everything. In this stillness you recognise yourself as eternal presence having a human experience.
The deeper we dissolve into the stillness and vastness of our being, the freer we become.
To be in tune with this place of essential presence inside of us, is the base for truly connecting with others on a tantric level.
Max Le Guerer
I’m Max and I have been intensely studying and practicing different meditation and relaxation techniques for the last 12 years.
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation journey, deeply restorative for body and mind. It is especially powerful as it allows you to set intentions and anchor them in the subconscious during the practice. They may then manifest during your life when the right moment is there.
My mission is to provide a container for integration and restoration during the festival.
