WHO’S BEHIND OUR WORKSHOPS?

This is a team effort! Bear Carnival‘s production team designed the event concept and manages the events. Aya House is responsible for the premises, insurance and all on-site services. Regarding the therapists, we send our love to Arnie, our long-standing wellness and tantra collaborator, who will not be able to participate in 2024 due to personal reasons… and we now say hello to Patrick Emmanuel and Jesee Elkins, the actual facilitators of this year’s experiences, coming from Germany and the USA respectively. You can contact them directly for technical or specific questions about the workshops.
