A 7-Day Intensive Retreat
Somatic, Tantric & Shamanic Exploration
The Energy Journey is a 7-day deep-dive into the subtle and powerful landscape of your Energy Body and the flow of energy between yourself and others. Through immersive daily practice, ritual, movement, and breath, you will awaken, amplify, and refine your energetic awareness.
This journey invites you to integrate your physical, emotional, and energetic bodies into greater harmony, sensitivity, and coherence. The practice of sustained immersion over seven days allows a fundamental shift in how you experience yourself not just as a physical being, but as energy in motion.
What this Journey offers
Each day combines moments of knowledge, sharing, and reflection with deep experiential practice. You will be guided through a variety of rituals and embodied explorations designed to enhance your capacity to sense, move, and direct energy.
Rooted in Tantric practices, Somatics, Shamanic intention, and Breathwork, this week offers a full spectrum of energetic experience - from foundational awareness to advanced energy exchange.
You will explore and practice:
• Energy Resourcing & Expenditure
• Circulating Internal Energy
• Solo Fire Breath & Orgasmic Energy
• The Multi-Layered Human Energy Field
• Yin & Yang / Kundalini Activation
• Energy Exchange & Penetration
• Breath & Energy Integration
• Energetic Bodywork Techniques
Most practices do not involve physical touch or skin contact. Some include optional, guided partner work - always with full consent and clear boundaries.
The Experience
This 7-day immersion offers a safe and brave container - a sacred space held with care, consent, and integrity. You are invited to feel, express, and transform through embodied energy practices that awaken your innate sensitivity and expand your energetic capacity. As you explore different forms and intensities of energy, you may experience a deep energetic reset - a rewiring of your somatic, neurological, and cellular systems. This creates space for expansion, integration, and new levels of embodied awareness.
Unlike many retreats that separate energy and sexuality, The Energy Journey embraces sexual energy as an essential current of life force. We consciously work with all energy centres - base, sacral, solar, heart, throat, third eye, and crown - integrating creative, emotional, intuitive, and sexual energies into one living flow. In a culture that often suppresses or distorts this natural power, reclaiming your sexual energy as sacred life energy is both an act of healing and liberation.
​
​In modern society, many have lost touch with their energetic nature. Ancient and indigenous traditions have long honoured the energetic dimension of life - intuition, life force, and the unseen currents that connect all beings. Today, we often value the mental and physical over the subtle. Our relationship with energy - and especially sexual energy - has been misunderstood, suppressed, or shamed.
This retreat offers a path of reclamation:
To reconnect with your natural energetic intelligence, to trust your body’s wisdom, and to engage energy consciously - from intention rather than reaction. Through awareness, breath, and embodied practice, you begin to remember yourself as energy: powerful, sensitive, alive, and free.
Creator & Facilitator
ELAINE YONGE
My learnings and skills around Energy arise from Tantric and Shamanic practices, combined with 20 years of working as a clinical scientist, using many Energy medical modalities, including ultrasound waves and other energy medicine tools such as light lasers and radiofrequency. As someone with years of experience working with science, physiology and the body, I was a healthy sceptic and cynic when I was first introduced to this concept of ‘humans as energy fields’.
I realised that often people misperceive the relationship between the mystics and scientists. As someone who holds both a Bachelors’ and Master’s degree in Scientific specialities, my understanding is that science at its authentic core is always the question and not the answer.
"Your expression and way of teaching is motivating
and was one of the major turning points in my life.
Thank you deeply."

Groups from Previous Retreats
What participants expressed
after being on a Journey with Elaine
Elaine is truly something special. I was blown away by her power, grace & effortless ability to hold deeply transformational spaces. She holds an incredibly high standard with her work & attention to detail. I am amazed and grateful to Elaine for the depth of her service. A true powerhouse and inspiration.
​
Tamar
Elaine manages to create a safe space for individual processes in the group as well as she seems to sense group dynamics before they even arise. Thanks to her great teaching experience is able to adapt the curriculum according to the group's needs. Her ability to merge the scientific view with shamanic rituals, heart, spirit and the body is of great inspiration to me and I've not come across any other teacher yet who has integrated these dimensions to the same degree and with the same virtue in their teachings as Elaine does. The bridge Elaine manages to built between science/the skeptical mind and truly shamanic experiences that need no rational explanation amazes me again and again.
Julia
I am very grateful to Elaine for the love, care, time, and energy that she contributed toward making this an unforgettable experience. I look forward with much joy and curious delight to my next opportunity to share magickal space with her!
Elaine brings such a deep level of integrity. Her containers are as clinical as the medical labs she used to work in for many years :) such a rare combination of feminine and masculine as well as deep knowledge of the body and spirit. Deeply grateful.
