E L E C T R I C H E A R T
24-26 April 2026
E L E C T R I C H E A R T is 4 days entirely devoted to recognising and working with the passion and purpose alive in your heart.
And reminding yourself that you know how to take exquisite care of it.
In doing so, we will meet the precise energetic opposites that live secretly below the surface of awareness. Electric heart is an invitation to uncover all the love and absolutely everything else that lives inside of your heart and chosing to open up again and again and again.
As Spring awakens around us, with all its typically irratic, flirtatious and unpredictable seduction, we’ll gather to empower those parts that are hungry to reopen, to start unfurling and get your face in the sun.
Stepping into a container like this, that is held in masterful, loving guidance and rooted in a courageous community is a generous resource for anyone who’s chosen the path of living an embodied, heart centred existence and reclaiming agency and self responsibility.
ELECTRIC HEART is for those who want to feed true and real desire, to remember that life is precious and full and that each and everyone of us is powerful and brimming with potential to participate in small and mighty ways. As always, we will work through the mental, physical, emotional and energetic layers of the body and the practices of unifying all those layers, we’ll gladly meet and work with resistance, doubt and scepticism as well as receptivity, trust and generally opening to life.
If you’re ready to learn and be humbled by teachings that are dripping in pleasure, full of respect for the depths of being alive and sensitive, and sprinkled in a gorgeous measure of mischeive and humour, then step on in.

The place - Inn Vivo
Inn Vivo is home to Sandie + John and their two children. They host guests all throughout the year. An eco-friendly, sustainably built labour of love, they have been tending to the evolution of this house for over a decade.
We practice in the Winter Garten or on the decking at the front of the house, with a view to the river Oder. Or we go into the wilderness of their garden, bursting with fruit trees and shrubberies. The surrounding area is a beautiful mixture of ancient forestry and wetlands.
accommodation
all rooms are shared 3-4 people per room. They’re all are hand crafted and stunning, each with their own special flavour and each with a take your breath away view. There is also a cabin in the garden that sleeps 3 guests.
The hand built sauna is available for us to use the whole time we are there.
food
We’ll be served delicious, vegetarian food by John + Sandie’s French cuisine. The menu is simple, hearty and healthy and always made with love.
Grace Farmer
My role, whenever I am holding a container like this, is to offer an exquisitely loving space in which you can meet yourself through the teachings and the practices. I’ve spent my life overcoming the need to control everything and hide myself behind a myth of perfection, so I know very clearly the kind of surrender and courage that this work will ask of you.
I will set the framework and offer very clear invitations to journey through the layers of your subconscious, body, mind and energy. I’ve been doing this a long time now and my intention is always to work with what is present in the space at the time. That means that all of you is welcome, exactly as you are. And it means that I will teach ways to meet yourself in that fullness and work with it, beyond the usual coping mechanisms or conditioning - like blaming, shaming and off gasing big sensation, for example.
The nature of any work that goes towards buried spaces in the human psyche, is at times confronting and can feel edgy. My job is to accompany you, show you some of the doors and which keys you need, whilst you venture as far as you are willing and capable. And I like to do that with a generous amount of pleasure and play because why else would we bother?
I bring practices from different disciplines, including yoga and meditation, dance, music and energetics. What we do on these weekends is ceremonial, ritualistic, and it will ask you to be open and receptive as well as discerning and very much awake to your own reactions and responses.
Valerie Hartwich
I’ve called in my dear friend and experienced facilitator Valerie Hartwich to join me in the space holding this spring and I am so glad she accepted the invitation. Valerie is a psychosomatic bodyworker, coach & yoga teacher with a psychology & sociology background, and honestly she is so much more than that.
I know wholeheartedly that she will bring a world of wisdom and curiosity to the weekend, but the real reason I wanted to work with Valerie this time is because of her deep devotion to play + pleasure in her own life, which is in part born from the skills she’s developed in navigating the descent and for that I have much respect for her. She really understands what it is like to live an embodied life.
It’s been a beautiful process for me to call in support from my community. I made the decision after acknowledging that no matter how well I take care of myself before and during the weekend, holding a space for 4 days on my own is a strong compression on my system and always brings about a certain amount of contraction. Valerie stepping in has instantly shifted towards more ease and that feels great!
