HYPNOTIC KINK RETREAT 2026

 

Join us in the jungle of Chemuyil, Mexico, for an intimate immersion into altered states of play.

Across the retreat, you will engage in live facilitation, collective rituals, and immersive experiences rooted in hypnosis, embodiment, and ceremonial pacing. Play unfolds within a curated group, allowing space for depth, precision, and meaningful connection.

This is not a retreat focused on technique alone. It is an entry point into a different way of relating to power, sensation, and presence.

An initiation into perception, embodiment, and intentional play.

What Will You Learn?

The focus is not on collecting techniques, but on understanding how and why they work, and how to apply them with precision, ethics, and presence for your play.

You will revisit and sharpen foundational elements of erotic and hypnotic play, including framing, induction, anchoring, conditioning, emergence, and aftercare, while exploring how these principles come alive through ritual, embodiment, and creative expression using whatever tools you like.

This retreat draws inspiration from multiple disciplines, including Shibari, theatre, martial arts, mesmerism, ritual practice, and performance, offering perspectives that extend play beyond any single modality.

Why Kink?

Power dynamics, when held consciously, reveal how we relate to authority, surrender, control, and trust. They surface the conditioning we carry around worthiness, visibility, and desire. They make visible, in real time and in the body, the patterns that ordinarily run beneath awareness.

Sensation, when used with intention, is not stimulation but communication. Touch, breath, restraint, and intensity speak directly to the nervous system, bypassing the interpretive layer of the thinking mind and landing somewhere older and more fundamental.

Altered states, which kink reliably produces when approached with skill and care, share significant overlap with trance, ritual, and meditative absorption. Research in psychology and neuroscience has documented that consensual BDSM can produce measurable changes in cortisol, flow states, and stress response, with some studies noting effects comparable to meditative and peak performance states.

This is why kink belongs in a conversation about embodiment, consciousness, and transformation. Not because it is edgy or exotic, but because it works. It cuts through. It reaches places that talking, thinking, and conventional self-development rarely do.

This Retreat is for you if…

✅ You feel drawn to the erotic arts, altered states, and the power of trance within consensual play.
✅ You are curious about how hypnosis, attention, and imagination can deepen BDSM dynamics.
✅ You want to explore dominance, submission, and polarity beyond technique, through presence and perception.
✅ You are interested in working with touch, breath, gaze, and timing as communicative tools.
✅ You sense that pleasure is not only physical, but shaped by meaning, context, and focus.
✅ You are drawn to spaces where eroticism, ritual, and embodiment coexist intentionally.
✅ You want to refine how you hold space, lead scenes, and guide experience with clarity and care.
✅ You have explored related paths such as tantra, temple work, theatre, ritual, or performance, or feel ready to enter this terrain now.
✅ You wish to engage with power dynamics consciously, ethically, and creatively, whether as a player, facilitator, or artist.

This retreat is for those willing to pay attention, to slow down perception, and to engage play as an art rather than an act.

If something in you recognizes this language, the work begins there.

This Retreat is NOT FOR YOU if... 

🚫 You are unwilling to engage erotic energy with presence, respect, and personal responsibility. This retreat requires emotional self-awareness, maturity, and the capacity to communicate clearly around boundaries and consent. If you are not prepared to meet yourself and others with care and accountability, this is not the right container.

🚫 You are looking for therapy, healing work, or trauma processing. While the experiences here can be meaningful, this retreat is not a therapeutic space. It is an exploration of power, trance, ritual, and embodied play, not a place to be fixed, rescued, or treated.

🚫 You are drawn to hypnosis as a means of manipulation, coercion, or ego reinforcement. HYPNOTIC work is rooted in consent, clarity, and ethical responsibility. Any intention that compromises the sovereignty or safety of others is incompatible with this space. Participation may be denied or revoked to protect the integrity of the group.

🚫 You expect a rigid, academic training with certificates, exams, or guaranteed outcomes. This is a living immersion rather than a classroom. While you will encounter clear frameworks and practical tools, you will also be invited into experimentation, ritual, performance, and uncertainty. If you require predictability and fixed structure, this may not be the right environment.

HYPNOTIC is a space for those willing to engage consciously, not casually.
For those who understand that freedom in play comes from responsibility, not from its absence.

What they say about the retreat

Heartfelt testimonials from past participants

"I cannot describe how life changing our week was for me, because of each and every one of your energies. BUT to TRY to describe it to you… right after on Monday morning I dyed my hair BRIGHT Red—because that’s how much I felt transformed in my level of gratitude, boldness, and happiness."

"To everyone, thanks for this week. It was an incredible time. I also believe we are here to experience and the way you open up and communicate your bliss is a way forward for humanity. Thanks 🙏 Im grateful for every moment and every soul I met at the magical villa!."

"Merci David. Merci à vous toutes et tous pour cette semaine hors norme. Au plaisir de vous revoir !"

"From the depths of my heart I admire your devotion, care and nurturing & playful ways of guiding us through BDSM + Hypno explorations. I really felt seen and cared for by you both, by your authenticity and vulnerability. Bringing innocence into collective loaded and fearful connotated aspects of eroticism and sexuality is such a gift receiving from you. It feels like a key to transform and build liberating beliefs of expressing who we are - beautiful sexual creatures who long to create, connect and unite, to be so close to life. It made my heart crack wide open and trust to express what wants to express through me. Thank you for the fun, sexy and innocent BDSM+Hypno playground!!!"

"I could write about the level of professionalism, care, imparted knowledge, and the sheer value of what was on offer at this retreat. There was all of that for sure, but what I want people to know about is the absolute life-changing magic that this work is. Or more appropriately, this play is. Because it was a week full of play, connection, creativity, art, intimate moments, edges being explored, fun, eroticism, and the beautiful vulnerability of humans being humans, showing up with more of themselves to be seen, and loved. My heart is blown wide-open and I am in deep gratitude to David and Maïa for their vision, and for the incredible team of facilitators that helped them birth it into the world. This is the medicine the world needs."

"At the airport now 🥹 Feeling so good, supported, and fulfilled. But honestly… it’s really hard to leave Ibiza and our “kinky camp” 💚 I truly believe that when life brings people together, there’s always a reason. Like a butterfly’s wings, and this small movement will create waves somewhere, somehow.💖🦋❤️‍🔥"

"Hey my beloved kinky people 🖤 After a long journey we're all back in our wonderfully messy routines — and I'm still carrying the warmth, the memories, and the inspiration from our time together. I came home with a creative fire and turned my card decks into a web app you can install on your phone. It grew into something bigger than I expected - three tools in one studio, each one a different doorway into the same territory we explored together."

"I am honoring and celebrating you both for having this vision, the courage to go for it, and the capacity to execute it in the way that you have. That in itself is a magical combination! And the level of grace that you both hold in the midst of a little chaos is golden."

"This was an empowering and life affirming experience for me. I am so happy I attended! It allowed me to connect deeply with myself, expand my view on BDSM beyond the obvious cliches, challenge my comfort zone, explore my edges… 10/10 experience. You guys did an outstanding job and would love to participate in further editions and I think the shorter intensives will also be a hit!"
