“An immersive journey into body, awareness and human encounter”
Intimacy is life force. The pulse of aliveness. The breath of possibility. It’s the warm current flowing through every encounter, every glance, every gentle touch. When clouded by limiting beliefs, seasonal isolation, or unhealed shadows, it leaves us yearning for more—cut off from pleasure's glow, presence's peace, and love's boundless flow. When cultivated with intention, it becomes the gateway to radiant vitality, creative fire, authentic relating, and a world remade through connection.
This winter, awaken that pulse in the heart of Prague. Prague Pulse Festival: marks our first-ever edition in this enchanted city—a cozy, indoor sanctuary timed for the season's introspective hush (think candlelit circles and fireside reflections, all under one roof). Join us for a transformative 2-day mini-festival, Friday evening through Sunday eve, where we weave a mandala of multidisciplinary magic: 7 immersive workshops blending somatic embodiment, shadow belief alchemy, conscious communication, and sensual relating.
Kick off with our Friday opener, Embrace the Threshold: Landing in Sacred Touch—a gentle arrival into our temporary intentional community, grounding you through consent practices, embodied check-ins, and the simple power of welcoming hands. From there, flow through sessions like Body Mandala: Sensing the Sacred (somatic mapping and creative release) and Threads of Touch: Conscious Communion (NVC games and relational weaves), all designed to unravel blocks, ignite pleasure, and forge bonds that linger.
No experience needed—just an open heart ready to journey. Emerge with tools for everyday ecstasy: clearer desires, deeper presences, and relationships that pulse with possibility. With just 50 spots for this intimate mini festival, early bird tickets (Ending 16th of November are 180 EUR) are moving fast—claim yours and step into the pulse. An immersive journey into body, awareness, and human encounter awaits.
Are you someone who is experiencing:
- Absence of Like-Minded CommunityYou life in Prague or the surrounding areas and long for deeper or more fulfilling friendships with like minded people.
- Frustration With Dating AppsYour desires feel taboo, turning sexuality into secrecy, guilt, or compulsive habits.
- Disconnection From IntimacyMany men feel numb, lacking intimacy with themselves and others.
- Struggles In RelationshipsWithout true presence and grounded confidence, intimacy and connection suffer.
- IsolationRarely do men find safe, supportive spaces to explore sexuality and masculinity openly.
- Reduced OptionsNone of us were taught about hot to manage our sexual energy and so we miss out on so much more possibilities and choices.
- Performance & DissatisfactionThe old paradigm told you that you need to perform, to be hard and "give her" pleasure. This overly simple story does everyone a disservice.

- I enrolled in a retreat that Julian was co-facilitating, I got introduced to his work, and I got to know him in different dimensions which brought so much into my journey. He took me on a journey of diving to explore new subjects and go deeper inside to discover more and more about myself. I went there with curiosity and came out on the other side in wide-open wonder. One of the things that is still with me to this day, is learning to "Feel and Follow". This represents the journey I was already in, and it expanded even further.Joao PedroEntrepreneur + Investor 🇵🇹
- It took me years to find a place like Pola's, heartfelt, open, warm, respectful and with Pola as a highly skilled teacher, not afraid to be at her most vulnerable. My heart was opened like never before, and there is really a before and after Pola for me. Connecting your lingam with your heart is life-changing. You realise that frictional sex is so outdated... it is connecting, being vulnerable and growing in your healthy masculine. I have seen people growing and transforming into the best version of themselves. Shame and guilt disappeared, and self-awareness and surrendering grew amazingly. And I made friends for life. Wish I had done this in my 20s... Going felt like stretching my comfort zone, but it was so worth the experience.
Never die at the end of your life regretting things you didn't do.RoelofChakra Therapist, 🇨🇾
This retreat is for you if ...
- ... you feel you have potential not yet realised, we will help you unlock and up-level all areas of your life by addressing limiting beliefs and stories.
- ... you feel disconnected from your life-force or erotic joy, and feel eager to explore new dimensions of pleasure and connection.
- ... you have always been curious what is possible with tantra and tao practices for men, expanded pleasure states and lasting longer in bed + more.
- ... you are ready to overcome shame & insecurity holding you back from asking for what you want and living out your deepest relationship dreams.
- ... you know the lasting transformative power of deep-diving in retreat with committed fellow brothers aligned to the same goals.
- ... you feel it’s time to explore and empower your core relationship to sex and masculinity in a constructive way.
- ... you yearn for added depth in your intimate connections but are unsure what might be missing.
If you resonate with any of this then we are excited and honoured to have the opportunity to serve you in this journey of realising this in your life.
This retreat is not for you if …
- ... you feel uncomfortable exploring topics related to sexuality, intimacy, or masculinity in a safe, guided environment.
- ... you want a retreat focused solely on individual work rather than the power of group connection and shared learning.
- ... you are seeking a purely physical or technique-focused experience without interest in emotional or spiritual growth.
- ... you are unwilling to engage in open, vulnerable, and respectful group discussions with other men.
- ... you prefer to avoid self-reflection or addressing personal limiting beliefs and insecurities.
- ... you are looking for a quick fix or instant results without committing to the transformative process.
- ... you are not ready to connect with a supportive community of men aligned with similar growth-oriented goals.

- Pola's work is inspirational and life-changing to open-minded students. The concept of unconditional love with no sexual intent frees up the mind to new, wonderful possibilities for physical pleasure, which are taught with great detail and a keen sense of humour. I arrived feeling rather vulnerable with a few hang-ups, but soon realised that whatever Pola suggested trying would give me delicious feelings of pleasure and happiness. We start as a group of individuals, and after a few days, we become a team of people who are open to each other but not judgmental and end up as friends. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge, and love with the world. You are truly a beautiful Goddess and Teacher.Jim82, Pensioner, 🇵🇹
- After a massage I gave to a friend from the group just a couple of days ago, in which I got to witness profound surrender/release of stuck energy, I realised how much Love wants to move through my hands and that my being thrives in this tantric practice, cultivating higher presence in a profound act of serving, giving and receiving.UrosGardener, đź‡đź‡·

- Full of wisdom. Julian is hugely knowledgeable and experienced in a wide variety of topics. He was in his element answering questions from the guys in our men’s circle.
As well as a competent facilitator, teacher and bodyworker I’d also point out that working with him was a pleasure. Organised, clear and responsible.Mattia CordaMusician & Coach, 🇵🇹 - I was a participant on a 5 day retreat where Julian was Co Facilitator, and my experience was overwhelmingly positive.

The charming fisherman’s town of Fuseta is just 10 minutes away, and within 20 minutes you can reach the city of Olhão​.

- Julian is extremely gifted at creating and holding a space inviting us all into to true connection and vulnerability with ourselves and others. I felt it was always a space where we can feel free from any judgement. A master on bringing into words our deepest toughs and feelings. I highly recommend working with him.Sandro AguilarEngineer + Practitioner, 🇵🇹
- Julian is an amazingly skilled bodyworker, with a lot of tools. He isn't afraid to dive deep, and his presence is so trustworthy, that it is not difficult to open up to him. He does this with empathy and professionalism. I enjoyed a 7 day private couples retreat with Julian as well as mentoring, coaching and one to one bodywork teachings, I loved all of it.Roelof TimmermanPractitioner, 🇨🇾
- I was fortunate enough to spend a few sessions working with Pola, and it is no exaggeration to say that the work we did together transformed my life. With a combination of Tantric coaching, breathwork, bodywork, and massage, Pola introduced me to Tantra in a way that was both structured specifically for my needs and organic enough to allow the sessions to move in whichever direction felt right. As a complete beginner, I was admittedly nervous when I first contacted Pola, but then we spoke on the phone and she immediately put me at ease. Likewise, the minute I entered her studio and talked about the session ahead, I felt comfortable and reassured. Then, throughout the sessions themselves, Pola was able to show me things which I had never before thought possible, things that opened my eyes and changed the way I perceive the world – for the better. Unfortunately, I do not live in Portugal, but if I did I would like to work with Pola on a regular basis, as I feel there is still so much I could learn from her. In short – thank you, Pola. For everything.Tim35, UK, 🇬🇧
- I had no experience with Tantra. I had been interested in it for a long time and have had a big tantra book for five years standing around, but the book was always too theoretical for me; however, I realised this only with the course. I was really excited before the course. It took a lot of effort to go there, and it also took a lot of effort to overcome myself during the course. But now I can say that it was worth it in several aspects: In the course, I experienced for the first time what it means to love and let love itself. I was able to reduce the fears of touch and performance that I have as a young man. With more self-love towards myself, I can now be softer with the touches and thus enjoy them all the more. I appreciated Pola's awareness and consideration of the female and male participants and their traumas. I felt respectfully treated by her, even though I had difficult moments from time to time. As a group, under Pola’s guidance, we dove into a wonderful world where, for me, the boundaries of age and gender dissolved. I began to perceive my fellow human beings more and more as sentient beings. A big thank you to Pola for your great commitment during the intensive days of the course!Patrick29, Musician, 🇨đź‡

- I just don't have words for this beautiful journey we share.Jorge28, 🇪🇸
- I felt the love and deep connection from how you conducted your training so much. My heart is continuing to open, understand and better give and receive love. You played a big part in helping with that. I so appreciate you.MarcChef, Miami, 🇺🇸
- Inspiring and warm guidance. I have followed several workshops and training courses run by Julian, and each time I've been stunned by his deep knowledge and eloquent guiding. He feels truly safe, trustworthy and inspiring to learn from. Also, he's great and fun companionship :)Tom KeysersSelf Employed, 🇳🇱
- Participating in Julian's mens group was a great experience. He helped me dive into my goal and understand what I needed and wanted to work on, providing insights and support throughout the process. Honesty, clarity, insightfulness, organisation, and good communication.MatteoResearcher, 🇵🇹
- I realise now the space in which sexuality can freely arise. Sharing love without a determination of sexual entertainment or satisfaction opens up the gateway of a sexual experience a 1000 times bigger than my first sexual intercourse. A sexual rebirth, and another confirmation of how nice life can be when boundaries are left behind. I recommend all to join a session with Pola, as it is warm, comforting, without any obligation or persuasion, and completely freeing, very easy to surrender into a warm bath of love.Miguel42, 🇵🇹
- I would like to thank Pola for her ability to bring a group of people together in this format, allowing us to grow and take tantric knowledge to the world out there. This experience was wonderful, especially because of the connections felt between everyone as if they were a family. Each one was able to be what they are. In other words: sharing, union, surrender, love. Definitely, the elements of the Tribe made us go through different experiences and sensations. This is what humanity is in need of. To live love more broadly, to expand love and affection to a wider community and not just to one person or family. An inner encounter with all our nature, with all our senses. In conclusion, Pola managed this gathering in a flawless, great way, adapting each moment to each person’s intensity level.Antonio62, Lawyer, 🇵🇹

ABOUT THE RETREAT
Shadow or ego work is the practice of exploring and understanding the hidden or unconscious parts of yourself: the thoughts, feelings, or behaviours you might push away or ignore because they feel uncomfortable, shameful, or painful. These are often things like fears, insecurities, or past traumas that you don’t want to face.
We will guide you gently to become aware of these hidden parts so you can grow into a more authentic and present version of yourself.

Some exercises may involve non-sexual physical contact, but these are always optional.
Each day, we’ll have sharing circles where you can ask questions and discuss your experiences to ensure you process and integrate what you’ve learned.
We aim to co-create a safe feeling and confidential space with mutual respect, where everything shared stays within the group. Teachers are always available for emotional support, please feel free to reach out anytime.
