This workshop is part of the Midsummer Night celebration—a traditional Slavic holiday of fire, water, and love, held during the summer solstice. For centuries, this night has marked a time of rituals connected to nature, renewal, and community celebration. The event begins at sunset and continues until dawn, with a bonfire burning throughout the night—serving as the symbolic heart of the gathering, echoing ancient cleansing and unifying customs. The program also includes wreath weaving workshops—traditional symbols of feminine energy and connection with nature—and Slavic gymnastics sessions, which combine physical movement with spiritual connection to the natural world. Held outdoors by the Warta River, the location reinforces the celebration’s link to the rhythms of the Earth. The aim of the event is to reconnect with ancient traditions, foster community, and offer space for shared cultural celebration in harmony with the natural world.

The summer solstice—also known as Kupala Night or St. John’s Eve—is the perfect time to reflect on your relationship with yourself and your partner. A key element in these relationships is sexual energy, which is a powerful force of both creation and destruction. When conscious and respected, it nourishes and strengthens. When misused or unconscious, it may lead to exhaustion, imbalance, and emotional loss.

Workshop program:

  • Understanding sexual energy in popular culture and in right-hand tantra / Taoist love philosophy
  • The difference between sexuality as nourishment, creation, and mutual exchange, versus sexuality as loss, control, and power
  • The pyramid of desires and how it manifests in our lives
  • Taoist love practices (both individual and in pairs)

The aim of this session is to raise awareness of sexual/life energy through the lens of right-hand tantra. This approach treats sexual energy as creative, sacred, and nourishing, always serving both partners and expanding awareness. The word “tantra” comes from Sanskrit and means “to weave”, “to sow”, “to expand”. In its original form, it was called the Yoga of Love.

This workshop is for you if:

  • you want to understand the deeper meaning of tantra and the Tao of love
  • you wish to transform your relationship with your partner
  • you feel there’s something off in your intimate life
  • you want to exchange and be nourished in a relationship instead of feeling drained
  • – you seek healing, rejuvenation, and conscious connection

The session will be held with respect for personal boundaries and is open to couples as well as individuals.
