Divine Fetish by Haus of Somatica

This workshop is a guided somatic workshop exploring the relationship between spirituality, sensuality and embodied self-expression through movement, breath and sound. The session begins with a Kirtan opening, a collective call-and-response mantra practice that helps ground the group and create a shared energetic space. Participants are guided through breathwork and embodied awareness exercises designed to connect with bodily sensations and release tension. Crystal singing bowls will be used to attune the sacral and heart chakras, supporting emotional openness and grounding.

The workshop then moves into somatic movement exploration, where participants are invited to follow their internal rhythms through guided prompts and music. Movement may range from slow, meditative gestures to more instinctive and primal forms of expression. Tantra-inspired embodied practices are introduced to explore presence and sensory awareness. Some exercises may involve blindfolds, temporarily removing visual cues in order to explore sensation and presence.

Participants may also be invited into optional partner exercises, such as breathing together, gentle touch practices or eye-gazing, designed to explore boundaries and consent in a mindful way. All partner work is optional, and solo alternatives are always available.

The workshop expands into Primal Free Flow, an open movement phase where participants are invited to embody different aspects of themselves and move freely without choreography or expectation. The session concludes with a closing circle, bringing the group back together through sound and collective resonance.

What to bring

• Please bring a yoga mat.
• Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement.
