Body wisdom - the female way
A journey to your body, your lived sexuality and your inner power - a journey to you.
October 18 - 23, 2026 | Ouranos Club, Agios Stefanos | Sea view seminar room "Thalassa"
Back to yourself - in the circle of women
This week invites you to step out of the daily grind - and turn to your inner experience.
What do you feel - beneath the surface?
What does your body say when you pause?
What strength, longing or tiredness comes up when you give yourself space?
The women's circle gives you this space.
Far away from everyday life. Close to you.
In the light of October, in the gentle rhythm of the sea, you will find a place to feel, breathe and let go.
Your gaze opens up - to what is alive within you.
Sexuality, femininity - as a path, not a destination
Female sexuality is not something you have to be able to do.
It is a lived relationship - to your own body, to history, to pleasure, to the world.
This week you can explore how your femininity and your sexuality want to show themselves - right now, in this phase of your life.
Not functionally. But tangibly.
Not performed. But felt.
Not standardized. But genuine.
You are invited to take a loving look at your sexual biography - with all its imprints, ruptures, questions and growth paths.
What did you internalize early on - what did you never really experience?
How does your experience change - as a mature woman, as a seeker, as a curious one?
This is not the beginning of therapy - but a reconnection with yourself.
Physically, emotionally, sensually.
Allow change - rediscover body image & sensuality
The menopause - or other transitional phases - change a lot.
Not only physically, but also emotionally, energetically and relationally.
What happens when you don't work against your body - but feel it as an ally again?
When sensuality is not created through performance - but through slowness, presence, nervous system regulation?
This week you can listen to what forms of closeness, excitement, intimacy and inner expansiveness are right for you.
Perhaps new. Perhaps familiar. Always real.
Eroticism as an inner space - inspired by Angelika Eck
Dr. Angelika Eck's attitude and the concept of sexocorprel accompany our understanding of sexuality:
It is not a technical repertoire, but a living experience in your whole system - body, mind, emotion.
Impulses from this work:
Pleasure is not innate - it can be developed.
Lust and desire arise in safety, personal contact and presence.
Sexuality can be diverse - tender, playful, quiet, powerful, spiritual, intuitive.
This attitude opens up spaces - not for 'more performance', but for more truthfulness in your sexual development.
Archetypes & inner parts - a mirror of your femininity
During the week, you will encounter archetypal forces:
the clarity of the queen
the wisdom of the ancients
the wild lust of lovers
the vulnerability of the girl
the focused energy of the warrior
Structure-giving inner aspects - such as demarcation, presence and willpower - also find their place.
Not as opponents of your femininity, but as integral facets of your womanhood.
