Ida’s teachings are centered on enhancing your contact to yourself. Of the power of taking it slow. And the gifts that can be had when we dare return to ourselves and our bodies and nervous system. She is passionate about ART (art of relating) and work with dealing with consent.
She writes about her philosophy:
'My greatest teacher is the wisdom that lives in our bodies and its innate link to the wisdom of the Earth. I am devoted to reconnect us to this wisdom so that we can live our lives in service of the Earth.

Vilhelm Alfarr Kruse
FACILITATOR
Vilhelm represents a unique voice within the tantric world. He will give workshops throughout the festival period.
After a life-changing awakening experience in 2007, Vilhelm left his old life in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. He even changed his name to Alfarr but little did it help – he stayed flawed, human, and mostly rather grumpy.
Disgruntled about life, in general, and specifically unhappy about sex and the mystery of relating to other humans, he ventured down the path of the tantric mystic.
Never quite obtaining full tantric guru status, he settled for becoming a teacher in the field he, in spite of years of discovery, still felt he knew next-to-nothing about. Sex, intimacy, and love.
Teaching something you know little about may not sound like a winning combination, but it turned out to be a great idea. It inspired him to try even harder to figure it out.
And that is where you’ll meet Alfarr today. He won’t be telling you how it is, what you must think, and how you ought to do it. Rather, he is offering you a framework to literally figure it out yourself–a roadmap for you to become the master of sex, love, and intimacy in your life and on your terms.

Falcon Ener Kise
FACILITATOR
What fascinates me a lot about humankind is the plasticity of social structures. A series of small changes to the surroundings can fundamentally transform the culture of a social group. I find it exciting and adventurous to facilitate such transformations, and I enjoy seeing the growth of the individual team members in this process, and how the group evolves.

DJ MEZQUIDA
RESIDENT DJ
Our Stockholm based DJ will perform 6 sets at the Rave scene which will be an integral part of the Big Heart Big Mind experience.
She’ll perform from 23:00 and until she’s run everyone through the floor!
Let's go a bit darker and harder shall we! It's been amazing to follow Mezquida's musical evolution closely during the last couple of years.
What started as a hobby, sitting and mixing tracks in her living room, continued on to become a passion.
You can hear it and most of all see it. Mezquida has that joy when she plays live, she turns the dance floor to her personal bubble of mayhem. Not a dull minute passes. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
So many dj's never interacts with the crowd or even looks at them when playing. Mezquida is the total opposite, she plays with her whole being and really connects with you.
It's amazing to witness! Her sets are like that to be honest. You can feel the passion... dark passion... but still with melodies and a never ending drive that never says pardon.
Mezquida’s mixes presents everything between deep house, down tempo organic to high energy techno. But one thing is clear, Mezquida always takes you an intense journey with groove and force.
Since she started playing in her home she has been performing at Substitutet, Slakthuset, Borderland, Dekadance, Kink Vibe and Nobelmuseet among others.

Celestine Andersen
FACILITATOR
Celestine is the founder of Edens Have and co-founder of the Tantric Sexologist education in Copenhagen.
She has worked with tantra for the past 23 years and combines tantra and tantra massage with therapy and trauma release.
Celestine is known for her deep and loving presence combined with her playful nature.
“I am here to create balance in the world between the masculine and the feminine, the light and the dark. When we are met, seen and loved with all we are, we become free and can heal our wounded parts. I see us all as holistic human beings, and unite spirit, body, spirituality and sexuality. Tantra is a tool to achieve perfect union in ourselves as human beings between our masculine and feminine side.
My passion is to hold space for shame and shadows and help people liberate themselves into their true beings.”
Celestine will be facilitating different workshops on the festival both for singles and couples. The main topics will be tantric embodiment through sensuality, tantric intimacy for couples and liberation through shadow work.
