🍃 🥷 KARMA YOGA IN TUSCANY '26 🥷🍃

Greetings friends & Happy Buddha Purnima Full Moon! We have just arrived back in Italy and we are getting ready for 🌞The Summer Yogi Season🌞 at our home The Inner Peace Sanctuary in Tuscany, while also being immersed in PhD studies and research! 🤓

During May and June we are opening the space for people desiring to come over, enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this magical Tuscan forest and contribute with their time and energy towards the garden, building projects and the space in general. So, people happy to work outside in nature, cut trees, clear fallen wood, help with fixing stuff, painting etc, that's for you! 💪 ❤️

If you feel the call, DM us and we can see if we align. ❤️

Karma yoga slots will be one week minimum. 🕑 🗓️

As always you can find ALL our upcoming offerings / retreats etc for this summer (as well as more photos of the Sanctuary, naturally) in the link in BIO. 🔗

Come get your hands dirty with us! ❤️😘

We're back after two weeks mostly offline and off social media.

Btw: Meditation - still the best waste of perfectly good doom scrolling and shopping time. ✌️😜

P. S. Three different Meditation Retreats upcoming this July in Tuscany, all details in Bio. Come! 😘

"This was supposed to be a Yoga account! Where is the yoga?" 👀

You are right, it might be confusing when we talk about kink, tango, partnership dynamics, about sitting in complete darkness for days or the neuroscience behind the benefits of meditation (not to mention some of our very random or culturally determined stories).

But that's because the answer is: All of it is yoga, buttercup! 😘

We're not trying to 'spiritualize' everything, bacause, you guessed it, everything is already inherently spiritual.

Yoga means "union" - the practice of integrating what's been split, of bringing all the parts together into ONE through highly trained awareness and mindfulness that penetrates every moment.

The formal practice, asana etc is a great and necessary foundation, but where would the fun be if we were bombarding you with yet more Instagram-worthy asana content? At least we don't see the fun in that. 👀😂

What we are more interested in is bringing the juice of the practice into your actual life. Your relationships, your sexuality, your power, your shadow, your most hilarious and most boring and mundane moments.

After 25+ years, that's what we like to share in the spaces we hold: yes, poses, breath, specific techniques that are time-tested, but most importantly - how the practice integrates into 'real life.'
Cuz without this, what are we even doing on the mat?

Come sit a retreat in Italy this summer. Easter Newsletter Early bird available for 48 more hours. 😘

Thank you all for readings us and riding along on this weird and marvellous journey! 🤗

The Wild Trinity:
Sexuality.
Power Dynamics.
Spiritual Practice.

A couple of weeks ago I conjured this term on the go when I fired my therapist, and a few of my favorite humans loved it.

Why the Wild Trinity? Well, you might have noticed that most traditions keep these separate.

Sexuality over here. Spirituality over there. Power dynamics? Oh, we don't talk about those! (And look where that's gotten us?! 👀🌎)

I've personally attempted to keep them separate for a long time. It's nice when everything is in neat little boxes, isn't it? And of course some things we keep in closed boxes. Sealed with duct tape. Pushed deep under the bed somewhere. It's better that way.

Until it's not possible anymore, because, guess what: they're not separate. They never were.

Sexuality without spirituality is kinda empty. Spirituality without sexuality can be rather disembodied. Power without awareness is dangerous. This is an oversimplification ofc as we got no time for the long version here.

We are often told that the integration of the three is not possible, is not appropriate, is not safe. Or simply: Is. Not. OK. (That being my personal favorite 🙃)

And I would actually agree with one of those: it's not safe. It's edge. But let me argue here that the lack of integration of spirituality, sexuality and power dynamics is what keeps us split, parts of ourselves in exile, never fully who we are. And when we push things into the shadows, when we silence parts of ourselves, we move into deeper separation and duality which leads to all kinds of distortions both individually and collectively.

The Ta***ic traditions work extensively with this triad: your body, your desire, your power. These are seen as the alchemical vehicles on the path of Awakening. They are potent Wildfire. Hence the awareness and training this path requires are immense.

But trying to keep the Wild Trinity at bay doesn't make it go away. (rhyme unintended lol)

If you're called to this, you know it, because you can't have it any other way anymore. So might as well Master it.

Groundbreaking News: Arjuna just wrote his first newsletter in 14 years!

Why now you may ask?
Well, I've been buried in PhD research & stuff (Buddhist Ta**ra, transgression, ritual stuff—you know, light reading), so he stepped in.

Fair warning: his voice is rather different from mine. Imagine less "let me tell you about the flowers, birds, my therapist and integrating kink with spirituality" and more "let's talk about the nature of existence", but Tom Robbins style lol.

In the Newsletter you'll find: what we're up to this summer + new opportunities we're opening up we're quite excited about.

If you're here for the real and quirky, you'll love it. (I did have to push him deeper into edit and finding his 'newsletter voice' & it was so worth it lol)

Tired of cookie-cutter boxes?

"Best practice for this." "Best diet for that." "If you're like this, it means that." (not sure which of those is most dangerous, honestly)

The wellness industry loves categories. It's easier to sell solutions when everyone fits a type.

But people are complex. We are all complex. Context matters. There is no one-size-fits-all. There is no one practice that's best for everyone. (sorry lol, I wish there was)

After 25+ years, we see again and again that the real work is learning to listen to what YOU need and who YOU are. Not what the trend says.

So: Be open. Be self-reflective. And remember: context is everything.

(Also, maybe stop taking advice from people who've never met you and focus on being in spaces and with people providing personalised attention..) 🙃

Yoga is both an art and a science.
Yet art is highly subjective while science is aiming at objectivity.

There is an objective layer of yoga with techniques like asanas and pranayamas being described objectively (even if there's disagreement about details).

The depth and magic of yoga and meditation though is highly subjective though.

Spiritual experiences cannot be fully described, let alone transported from one person to the other (or proven for that matter).

One description of yoga is 'the journey of the self through the Self to the SELF', which exemplifies how it is the ultimate Subjectivity.

Exploring the very nature of our existence and that of the universe, asking the question 'Who am I?' does not work objectively, it's an inherently subjective endeavour.
And we better treat it as such

I just ended things with my therapist. And before you say anything: I don't do things like this lightly, I sat with this for a while and it's done.
Not because they were bad at their job. They weren't. But because they couldn't hold my complexity—especially around kink.

And I get it. Most therapeutic training doesn't prepare people for the integration of the Wild Trinity: Sexuality, Power Dynamics AND Spiritual Practice.

But if I'm going to do the work, I need someone who doesn't flinch when I bring all of me into the room.
The parts that are spiritual. The parts that are sexual. The parts that are dominant. The parts that don't fit into any neat boxes.

It's exhausting to have to edit yourself, even in spaces like therapy, where really you shouldn't have to.

Being brought up by a psychologist, I've worked on myself my whole life, since I was a kid. And so at this point I require a therapist who has greater depth and capacity than me in order to hold mine with all its complexities and nuance.

In the meantime, I'm sitting with this question again: Who holds the one who holds everyone? ❤️

PS. I'm not looking for recommendations, please don't offer such, thank you. 😘
