In fertile soil
re:treat
Retreat with Camilla Steen Larsen
May 15-18, 2025
Langeland, Denmark
Our story lives within the body. There is calmness in knowing that in our soft tissue nested in the deep body of our pelvic bowl we are home. Here our life source, our creativity and our passions reside.
In the fertile soil of your body the movement below the skin fills the cells with slowness rather than a rhythm faster than we sometimes can follow.
Maybe we were told our longing was too much and we clenched it, held back and dimmed ourselves to fit in.
Can we give ourselves permission to be all that we are? This is the invitation in.
In these four magical days together we will open for the creative stream of consciousness sourcing wildly within us so that we can evoke our truest desires - our biggest dreams to be spoken out loud - and all that we are come visible.
The invitation is to soften into the totality of longing’s ache and discover the love that trembles beneath it all. We drop into ourselves in our not so polished ways,
We will connect with self, each other and nature allowing that which is dormant – our inwardness – to be nourished and surrender ourselves through movement, poetry, art, witnessing and ritual to discover the layers of our creativity vividly swirling within us. In fertile soil the seeds of newness are planted. Pleasurable and playful life force readies to be birthed back into the light and taken into life.
Camilla says:
“I’ll meet you there - in a field of love wildly sourcing through the fertile soil of your body. Led by pleasure and ease, turned on by life so that you and I can do our soul’s work we came to do."
· feel curious to learn refined listening with the body and living life pleasure led
· know there is more for you to step into
· wish to let play on purpose be your body’s way as a new world leader.
· are ready to free the story of the past, the future, yourself or another
...please join us.
No prior dance or movement experience is needed. Whether you are a beginner, a professional mover, or anything in between - this workshop is for everyone!
All you need is your body, your curiousity and a willingness to learn.
Please bring an open heart and a soft belly to the various ways In fertile soil might express.

Facilitator is Camilla Steen Larsen
I am here to remind you what you already are.
In my experience our tendency to hide is driven by a deep rooted feeling of not being enough.
I am here to change that.
Camilla brings 35 years experience of teaching movement in stillness and sound. She is a mentor, embodiment coach, teacher, facilitator, writer and motivational speaker.
She believes that every single one of us is unique and not only are we necessary, we are needed as you and I take Remembership.
Moving presence, mindful living, embodied leadership and conscious relating are some of what she brings to the floor as well as in the everyday.
Her heart strongly beats for the power of leaning into the arms of community to learn from one another.
“I tore 20 years of teachings apart, added what I felt was missing and created what I myself needed - embodied permission." ~ Camilla
About Embodied Permission
“In fertile soil” will be in the field of Embodied Permission - a somatic approach to living, loving and leading with pleasure, play and purpose.
Embodied Permission is the bundle of conscious movement practices, nervous system regulation, physiology and anatomy, right left brain communication for living and leading life as a moving meditation.
As we find safety within the only one we need permission from is ourself.
Whether to selected music from contemplative to powerful or in the sound of silence supporting us, in a safe space where there is no judgement, no right or wrong, where everything is possible and nothing is expected you can relax, feel yourself and express freely - giving yourself embodied permission.
“Being around her is being in the presence of clear and fierce life force."
“Camilla truly is a living breathing embodiment of permission, to be yourself, fully alive with what is moving you. Being around her is being in the presence of clear and fierce life force, ready to embrace and move with whatever this moment brings."
- Ida Helmers,
Somatic Relating
"Embodied Permission gives me the permission to be me."
That is freeing, liberating and scary at times because it means for me to leave old patterns behind and daring to truly become myself. Not the version adapting to what I assume the expectations of others are. I enter a delicate and intriguing space of now.
- Anne Stilling,
Psychologist & Movement Teacher
"First time meeting Camilla it was like coming home."
"I felt truly seen and experienced a permission to be all of me, even the parts I’d rather hide. Being on a floor with Camilla is fun, sensuous, expanding and also challenging in the best of ways."
- Magdalena Perers,
Embodiment Teacher
"It is coming home to myself, my body, the bigger "we", to being human."
"Being and moving together keeps widening my heart, it melts me into tears to fumble and stumble with words and emotions with less shame.
- Lisa Moser,
Soul Motion Teacher
"Camilla changes people’s lives simply by stepping into their field."
"I've seen it again and again. As soon as she enters the room everything changes"
- Pete Longworth,
Creator of Content That Matters
"I don't have to think about what is allowed or not, there is just a permission."
"I have a permission to slow down. I get to practice here then to go into the world with more confidence not needing validation.
To have someone here is such a fruitful ground for practicing."
- Anna-Riikka Kärnä,
Coach
"I allowed myself to be the size I am without trying to me smaller or less visible."
"Nothing is required and you get just as much out of it as what you put into it.
I found a new joy in movement and dance and my honest emotional expression"
- Marko,
Business Manager
"I am coming out of hiding and coming home. "
"With Camilla's guidance, practices and the community she created in Embodied Permission Training is a thrilling journey that I am still on, and truly as she puts it, a journey of a lifetime!
- Anne Stilling,
Movement Teacher & Psychologist
