Charlie & Isa
About the facilitators
We are Charlie and Isa, exploring embodied consciousness, connection and what it means to come home to ourselves. Our path into tantra has grown through a shared curiosity for the body, intimacy, presence and the spaces that open when we slow down enough to truly feel our body.
Isa brings a background in yoga, free movement, sound healing and creative expression, weaving sound, ritual and movement into her way of holding space. Charlie’s work is grounded in bodywork, embodied practice and creating spaces of trust where people can meet themselves and others with greater presence. Together, we are passionate about exploring the meeting point between sound, touch, breath, movement and authentic human connection. Our work is less about teaching a particular way of being and more about creating spaces where people can listen inwardly and discover what is true for them.
At Villa Vhēla, our space in the forests of southern Sweden, we host practices and gatherings centred around embodiment, connection and shared presence. In the tantric field, we hope to contribute spaces that feel grounded, playful and human where curiosity is welcomed, boundaries are honoured and connection can unfold at its own pace.

Workshops
Awakening Into Presence 🌶️
- Morning Session
A grounding morning practice with meditation, breathwork and music to gently awaken the body and arrive in the present. Participants are invited to connect with themselves and set an intention for the day ahead.
The practice creates a gentle bridge between inner stillness and the vibrant experiences that await. With space for curiosity and inner listening, participants can explore what their body, breath and senses are communicating before stepping into the day. Rather than adding more to the morning, this is an invitation to begin from a place of enoughness, allowing whatever is present to be met with openness and care.
What to bring:
Blanket, Cushion & Yoga Mat
The Open Door 🌶️
– Into Sound, Sensation & Surrender
A ceremonial "open-door" space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. We begin with a closed, one-hour ceremony to dive deeper within through a guided journey, accompanied by live sound and voice activation.
We then gently open the space to rest, reflect, meditate or surrender to music, storytelling and sound bath. Participants are free to connect with others or simply remain in their own space, always with clear attention to consent and personal boundaries. You are welcome to arrive, leave and return whenever you wish, making the space as flexible as your needs in the moment. Stay for the full evening or simply drop in for a while, whether you want to rest, listen, integrate, self-regulate or share the presence of others. There is nowhere you need to be and nothing you need to do, just space to follow your own rhythm and let the day settle.
What to bring:
Blanket, Cushion & Yoga Mat
A Soft Landing 🌶️
– From Experience to Integration
A closing workshop for integrating the experiences of the weekend through dance and movement. Through movement, participants reconnect with themselves, explore what lies within, and feel into what they want to carry with them beyond the festival, meeting and perhaps releasing, whatever arises.
We will go from movement into deep stillness with a sound journey and guided journey within. This is a space to breathe, soften and allow the body to settle after a weekend filled with encounters and intensity. You may leave feeling more grounded, regulated and resourced, with a greater sense of inner calm and spaciousness.
