Welcome to Expand Festival. For five days, we gather in community exploring relational intelligence, embodied intimacy, sacred sexuality and the joy of celebrating together. We welcome consent-aware human beings of all experience levels, whether this is our first step into this world or one of many.
Every morning we gather as one group to deepen the field we share. From there our days open into workshops, some led by our facilitators, some co-created by us participants, and they close in celebratory, sex-positive temple spaces. In our daily integration pods and the community circle, we support each other in whatever moves in us.
We keep the programme deliberately spacious, so that instead of rushing between options, we have room to breathe, feel and integrate. We will announce the programme and facilitators soon.
Tickets from CHF 444.-, plus food and accommodation from CHF 460.-.
Relational intelligence
How can I stay authentic with myself and others? How can I stay present and communicate my truth? Can I express my boundaries and desires? Can I ask for support when I need it? When do I feel triggered? How can I navigate situations when I'm challenged?
Embodied intimacy
How do I express my authentic truth and full emotional spectrum? How can I drop the performance? How can I honour my felt boundaries? How do I regulate my nervous system? How do I find safety within my own body? How do I move from thinking about connection to feeling the connection?
Sacred sexuality
How do I cultivate eros as life force? How can I shift my focus away from goals, peak experiences and performance? How can I integrate my heart into erotic connection? How can I honour the body as a temple? How can I shift from doing in order to feel pleasure to inhabiting intimacy and pleasure themselves?
Celebration in community
What brings me joy and fun? How can I experience celebration not as passive entertainment, but as a shared creation? How do I move through the field when I know I am accepted regardless of my appearance, gender, ethnicity or sexuality? Can I bring my gifts and my genius in service of community?
Your hosts
Guest facilitators will be announced soon.
Tinka
Tinka is a visionary facilitator, mentor, and temple guardian dedicated to awakening body and soul to the fullness of intimacy, erotic power, and authentic life force. With a deep commitment to co-creating a nonviolent, heart-centered culture, she holds high-frequency spaces where mental constructs dissolve and true somatic sovereignty begins.
Her work is rooted in formal studies in Systemic Dance Therapy and Sexological Bodywork, enriched by profound immersions into Tantra, conscious BDSM, Shamanism, and personal research around mortality. This unique tapestry allows Tinka to hold an unshakeable, highly grounded container for shadow integration, deep de-armoring, and uninhibited self-expression.
Alp
Alp is an experienced facilitator of events and workshops on embodiment and conscious touch. He uses his experience in bodywork, meditation, tantra, breathwork, energywork, and communication practices to empower others to growth and transformation.
His intention is to contribute to a vision where human beings embrace their authentic, vulnerable selves, and open their hearts to deep connections with honesty and integrity.
