Experience the Journey to Truth

Being the Journey to Truth

“Truth is not something outside to be discovered. It is something inside to be realized.”
— Osho

THE INVITATION

If you have been feeling something stir deep within – a knowing that there is more to life than routine – come and let the body confirm what the mind has been circling.

The Awaken Experience Retreat is a five-day immersion into the living practice of tantra, not as philosophy, but as direct felt experience. Together, Ashik, Laxmi and Puja will guide an intimate group through breathwork, subtle body awareness, somatic meditation, sacred sexuality as a path of awakening, and the embodied experience of non-duality. Morning practices root you in the body. Afternoons open the field of connection, erotic life force, and intimacy.

Moreover, the journey does not end when you leave. To support what has opened in you, the retreat includes two private sessions and one follow-up online group session – giving you space to integrate, to continue, and to be held as the work lands in your daily life.

What We Work With

Sacred Sexuality

Immerse yourself in tantric and breathwork practices, and set the stage for profound inner discovery.

Somatic Awareness

Dive into sessions of energy exploration, and unlock deeper levels of sacred intimacy.

Meditation

Meditation sessions from active to still, exploring movement and silence with awareness and love.

Bring Tantra to your Daily Life

A retreat can open a door. However, what lies beyond it is your life – and that is where the real practice begins.

This is not an experience you attend and then leave behind. Instead, it is an invitation to bring Tantra home with you – into your mornings, your relationships, your body, your breath, and the ordinary and extraordinary moments that make up your days. Ultimately, we come together to ignite something that is meant to keep burning.

Ashik

Your guide on this journey

Ashik is an international Tantra master and founder of Awakeland Portugal, a reforestation project and conscious event centre. For the last 25 years, he has walked the path of Meditation, Breathwork, and Tantra, with an innate curiosity for the essence of individuals and conscious relationships.

Inspired by Osho’s teachings, he integrates joy with trauma awareness and the art of intimate relating. Furthermore, influenced by nature and shamanic wisdom, Ashik emphasises presence as essential – creating safe spaces where people can drop performance and be fully engaged in the present moment.

His Sanskrit name means ‘Lover’, which reflects his dedication to awakening the divine connection within each individual.

Laxmi

Your guide on this journey

Laxmi is a lifelong student of the sacred arts, having immersed herself in the transformative practices of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and Tantra for over 25 years.

With a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, she has evolved into a passionate advocate for self-discovery, sensuality, and radical self-love. Moreover, Laxmi’s journey is one of profound personal awakening, and she now dedicates her life to empowering others to embrace their authentic selves — helping them unlock the divine energy within and cultivate a harmonious relationship with themselves and others.

Through her wisdom and warmth, she inspires individuals to explore their inner landscapes, fostering a life of pleasure, balance, and profound connection.
