GROW UP—For Real This Time
This is for you if you thought you were emotionally mature... but your relationships are saying otherwise.
Drama with your mum? Clients draining your energy?
Repeating the same anxious or avoidant patterns in love?
It’s for the part of you that knows there’s more to love than instant sparks that quickly fade.
For the grown-up in you who’s ready to build long-lasting, healthy relationships—
with your partner(s), parents, children, friends... and yes, even your clients.
If you're tired of reliving childhood dynamics in adult clothes, this weekend will help you break the cycle and step into real emotional maturity.
The kind that feels grounded. Safe. Whole.
This is especially for people in helping professions—because you can’t guide others deeper than you've gone yourself.
Why GROW UP?
Because most of us are still struggling to regulate our emotions.
We're still living from a part of ourselves that knows we’re meant for more... but doesn’t quite know how to get there.
We reach for love with hands shaped by unmet childhood needs.
We hope we’ve finally found the one who will choose us, see us, love us.
Or—we get overly independent, go from relationship to relationship and think: “Everyone else needs to grow up.”
But there is a way through.
There’s a place inside you that can see clearly, love wisely, and stand firmly rooted in truth.
Here’s What We’ll Explore
✨ Safer attachment—not just in love, but in all your relationships
✨ Sex, boundaries & intimacy—so your desire doesn’t sabotage your connection
✨ Nervous system regulation—Somatic Experiencing, NARM, Polyvagal tools
✨ Embodied listening—your body as your compass and your temple
✨ Joy as a resource for pain and trust
✨ Embodied truth—raw, unapologetic, and grounded
What You’ll Leave With
🌀 A deeper understanding of your attachment patterns—and how they live in your body
🌀 Tools for emotional regulation you can use both personally and professionally
🌀 Confidence to explore intimacy from a place of maturity and wholeness
🌀 Joy that isn’t performative—but a real anchor in your being
🌀 A toolkit you can use with your clients, friends, or loved ones
🌀 A grounded sense of “I’ve got myself now”
🌀 The connection and belonging of a supportive, growth-oriented community
Who It’s For
🌱 Facilitators, coaches, and therapists who know that your healing comes first
🌱 Seekers with experience in tantra, meditation, personal development—ready to go deeper
🌱 All genders, sexualities, and relationship styles welcome.
Because growing up applies to everyone.
The Method
We blend joy with deep process work.
Drums. Movement. Sacred tears. Belly laughs.
We create a playground for emotional growth—rooted in safety, somatic wisdom, and belonging.
“The body remembers what the mind forgets.”
— Bessel van der Kolk
We move from the body, not just the brain.
From rhythm, not just reason.
From presence, not performance.

Testimonials from participants
“Coming into a space that allows for as much vulnerability and openness as here, and at the same time being very grown-up, has helped my healing tremendously. The grounding, the frank addressing of all aspects presented, as well as the acknowledgment of it being a journey, was great.”
/Johanna“I feel safe and seen. The mixture of dance and process work was really special. I liked how Li and Lotta were playing off of each other. Also, as an SE practitioner, I was inspired—there is always more to learn. I loved it and loved the team, thanks.”
/Misha“Dear Li and Lotta, you have helped me this precious weekend to better identify when my responses or reactions come from a young or immature part of me, and then helped me to be the adult for myself. What I appreciate is the feeling I have that you really want to help me grow up and continue with my life. You seem to want me to heal, not only to sell me another retreat. Thank you for your authenticity and loving presence. I feel that you care and leave it to me to carry myself. Hope to see you again soon.”
/Arild“Thank you, I leave the retreat having been truly challenged, but not more than I could bear. I love how the work is physical and how we were helped to ground ourselves individually and as a group. So nice that the team was so big—it makes for a safe and evolving space.”
/M“What I bring with me are all the beautiful and personal meetings with fantastic people. I feel filled with love after this weekend. I bring with me many tools that I feel I can use to understand myself better.”
/Fredrik“I appreciate the secure setting of the workshop, which allowed me to let all my emotions show. I love the mix of deep exercises and joyful dance.”
/Navid
“Li’s work has helped me find so much more balance in my life, and I am now navigating more smoothly between the needs for connection and love and the need for my own space. During retreats like this one, I also realize that I am only living out of 30% of my capacity in my everyday life. Here, I connect fully with strangers after just a few hours. It’s amazing to explore new beings and myself through play, dance, sharing, and exercises. Thank you.”
/Charlotte“It is a great gift to yourself to practice being a real adult, grown-up person if you feel like you have been pretending your whole life. Recommended to most people who have grown up in Western cultures.”
/S
“In the spaces that Li facilitates, I always feel welcome to express, learn, explore, and try new things—all in a safe, contained environment. I’m always amazed by how, by the end of a workshop, a bunch of strangers becomes so open to each other.”
