Our Echo
I have been a seeker of sorts my entire life. I have spent countless years following an intuition somewhere deeply embedded within me that ushered me forward. My path was messy, unclear, and quite troubled. It was this way because my inner world was messy, unclear, and troubled. Through trial and error and a well of suffering, angst, and self-pity, I had a few wake-up calls that brought me out of my victimization and into conscious choiceful living.
I was deeply humbled in the darkest of my days.
I can tell you about all of the education I have received, the trainings, the certifications, the programs, the retreats, and the therapy but what has shifted my life's direction is my desire.
My true desire to be a better person, a better lover, and a kinder and more responsible human within the global ecosystem.
That is what finally brought about change. Once I saw the suffering I was perpetuating within myself, and its effect on those closest to me I dove into "The Work" in the last several years it has been my guiding light. My lighthouse.

Luzi Pods
I’m Luzi, Somatic Sexologist, Temple Facilitator, witch & erotic artist. As a somatics nerd & nature lover I feel most alive when I’m naked in the forest. I love facilitating spaces which give permission for our most wild, creative and free expression. I honour the body as life’s true oracle and sexuality as magic. I’m here to feel and pour as much love as I can into the world.
I’ve dedicated my life to Self Pleasure because nothing is closer to my heart. When I fell apart and lost myself, this practice was (and still is) what returns all of me back home. It reminds me of the love I’m made of, every time I put my hands on my body. It’s my medicine, my prayer, my commitment to myself and the people I love.
I believe that working with Self Pleasure is the most radical thing we can do. Loving and returning to the body in a disembodied society is necessary for the evolution of this planet. It’s peace work - it creates a more compassionate way of living and relating. And how needed that is. If I had the power to teach humanity one thing - this would be it.

Eran Freiwald
I guide individuals, couples and groups to explore these themes and invite them to connect in a deeper way to themselves and the world around them.
Among the modalities I work with are Sexological Bodywork, Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP), NARM (trauma healing modality) and Biodynamic breath work (BBTRS).
I am inspired by community, tantra, conscious movement, the gift of music, spirituality in many of its colours and forms, and poetry. Some of the qualities I bring into my work with people are open curiosity, body and self-exploration, clarity, self-acceptance, depth and lived spirituality.
My vision is a world where we meet ourselves and each other in peace and with an open heart, connected to our insatiable curiosity for the crazy mystery of life.

Max Leguerer
I’m Max and I have been intensely studying and practicing different meditation and relaxation techniques for the last 12 years.
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation journey, deeply restorative for body and mind. It is especially powerful as it allows you to set intentions and anchor them in the subconscious during the practice. They may then manifest during your life when the right moment is there.
My mission is to provide a container for integration and restoration during the festival.

Hans Herrmann
I teach Yoga, organize retreats and offer bodywork (ayuryoga, a mix of abhyanga, thai massage and yoga stretches) since around 15 years. In the last 5 years I started my immersion into tantra and conscious sexuality. After several workshops and retreats like ISTA, I attended a tantra therapy training a year ago. I also developed a new passion - shibari. The intuitive and creative flow with the ropes have been very present in my life. In the Zurich Tantra festival I want to offer you a sensual and sensory experience. Beside the excellent quality of touch you can expect presence, care and the invitation to fully surrender. Book your tantric massage or shibari session with me or together with Camila.
