Burn The Script

Join us for 7 days of fire medicine, Sex Magick, embodied ritual and creative practice. This journey is an alchemical portal which asks you to burn the scripts that keep you from sharing the fullest expression of your voice, power and purpose with the world.

About Burn the script

It’s time to return to the raw and untamed truth of who you truly are.

The Script is a set of rules and norms you’ve decided to bend down to. It’s the things you “should” be doing. The boxes you’ve squeezed yourself into. The shackles which keep you stuck. It’s a prison with walls you can’t see.

This journey asks you to listen to the call of your deepest core. The one that’s been whispering, waiting, aching to be set free. The part that knows that there’s so much more. The part that’s ready to embrace her magic.

This is your invitation to step into the fire and burn. To offer everything to the flames that’s between you and the fullest, unapologetic expression of your aliveness. To strip yourself bare and stand in the naked truth of your soul. It’s a fierce and full-bodied homecoming to your essence.

Do feel the tension between who you currently are and who you know you’re meant to be? Then this journey is for you. No more hiding. No more playing small. Are you ready to show the fck up?

Liberate your voice. Liberate your sex. Embody your magic.

This journey is for the witches who are ready to burn.

Is this you?

  • You’re on the edge of something - your skin has gotten too tight.

  • You know that you have so much more to give to life than what you currently are.

  • You’re ready to offer your scripts around money, sex & power to the fire.

  • You want to explore the somatic-erotic mysteries and learn to cast spells with your body.

  • You have no more time to waste - the moment to step in & show up is now.

  • You’re ready to take responsibility for the fullest expression of your power, pleasure and purpose.

 
 

“Burn the Script is not just a retreat, it is an embodied way to live. It is a living, breathing organism. I bow deeply in gratitude and the particles of my body remain forever changed.”

Retreat Testimonials

  • "One of the most profound aspects for me was working with the witch wound. I believe experiences like this can create a ripple effect to heal our relationship with the Earth. Burn the Script was a potent reminder of our collective power to feel deeply, and to love wholeheartedly. It was nothing short of life-changing."

    JULIA

  • "It was a retreat that made sense to the all other teachings I gathered along the way for me. I feel like everything came into place like puzzle pieces and I could see the bigger picture finally. It put an end to the patterns that I am crawling back into or drawing circles around. It felt like home."

    Nilda

  • “I came into Burn The Script with no expectations and left the retreat with a feeling of extreme lightness and sensitivity to the world around me. When I returned home my partner asked me whether I was pregnant because I seemed to be glowing so much. The journey was so full of magic and strength."

    Phoebe

  • "If you want to try on or expand parts of yourself without judgement and in full acceptance I recommend this experience to you. You can make of it what you need it to be. Expect an opportunity for your own radical expression to be seen in a no bullshit environment with bucket loads of nourishment in all the forms."

    Robyn

  • "Burn The Script is deeply transformative and a path to really trusting in yourself and your depths. This is an experience of the huge and potent capacities of your body, your heart and soul. It is an experience to meet your power!"

    KIM

  • "I felt supported in a way that enabled me to go even deeper than I ever thought was possible, and meet parts of myself that I hadn’t met before. The whole experience was fcking MAGICAL, and I’m coming away from Burn The Script feeling incredibly inspired and more able to express my honest self in an unapologetic way."

    Bronwen

  • "It was such an empowering experience to give myself permission for the witch in me to come home. I am now eager to make myself and my gifts visible to the world! No more hiding, just powerfully following my path. Knowing that I have my sisters at my side to support me."

    Ana

  • "We shared stories, dance and touch. We let go of social conditioning to show ourselves for who we are. Embracing the darkness as much as the light. I think a retreat like this does not only break and rebuild the individual but can create a shift for humanity towards a more open, honest, kind and loving world."

Burn. Burn until you rise again. More alive, more wildly in love than you’ve ever been.

THE JOURNEY

Working with sexuality is fire medicine.

“Step into the flames. Burn everything that’s blocking the flow of life, the truth of your heart, the sound of your voice, the flow of your art. Burn until you rise again, spitting flames and ashes. Pulsing with life. Eyes gleaming with the knowing that this moment, right here, is to be tasted and savoured and lived fully. That this body, this earth is the home you’ve been longing for.”

This is a journey of deep listening, of community and of practice. Our week will be rooted in erotic embodiment, temple rituals, heart shares & connection. It will be inspired by the dreams, symbols, themes & impulses that will emerge from our group organism & the land.

These will be our guiding pillars:

 
 

FIRE MEDICINE

Working with the element of fire as an ally requires your willingness to meet your edges and question everything you thought you knew. The alchemical process is one of trust and surrender - of stepping into the flames willingly and consenting to let it all go. This is the true embodiment of snake & phoenix medicine - a courageous act of transformation.

SEX MAGICK

The practice of the witch is being in deep communion with her body and the earth. By aligning your intentions to your heart and charging them with erotic vibrancy, you learn to cast spells with your body. You utilise pleasure as a portal to invite the soul down into your flesh, blood & bones - and to be guided from a place of depth, truth and love.

RITUAL & CREATIVITY

Creativity is a form of personal expression that allows you to shape your reality according to your desires, free from external limitations. Ritual and spiritual practice supports you in aligning these desires with the purpose and fullest expression of your soul. You learn to use art and prayer as a pathway to liberation and devotion.

"Attending Burn the Script was a deeply transformative journey that felt like a rebirth.”

MEET YOUR LEAD FACILITATOR

I’m Luzi. Witch, Somatic Sexologist, Facilitator & Erotic Artist.

What brought me here was the desperate longing to move beyond the only Script I knew - pain, depression, and disconnection. When I found Self Pleasure, I felt like I discovered the world’s best kept secret - I found what I’d been looking for my entire life.

It took me on a f*cking wild ride. All the lost parts, the undesirable parts, the exiled parts - they returned under the touch of my hands. And with the homecoming of each part the knowing in my body grew stronger, until every single cell in my body remembered: “You are whole. You are loved.” Magic. I felt it. I’d always known that I was a powerful witch. Finally, I allowed myself to embody it.

When I realised that I was burning the Script one orgasm at a time, my life started shifting at a speed I could barely keep up with. Within a few months I decided to leave my life in London, pack my bags and follow the whispers of my heart. This was the moment I decided to fully step into my soul’s purpose. Running a successful business & living a life beyond my wildest dreams of is the result of offering all of me to the flames.

I’m here to remind you of the magic that’s already living inside of you - and inspire you to shine brightly and share your gifts with the world. Read my story here.

  • You’re ready to burn your scripts around money, sex & power.

  • You know that you have so much more to give to life than what you currently are.

  • You’re willing to be and breathe with discomfort and emotional intensity in your body.

  • You’re ready to surrender your illusions, fears & masks to the fire.

BURN THE SCRIPT is not for you if…

  • You need to know what’s going to happen. This journey does not have a fixed plan or schedule. It requires your willingness to be in the mystery.

  • You are looking for therapy. This is an experiential space with potential for transformation. While it may have deeply therapeutic effects, it is designed so you can meet your edges - and stretch beyond them. This requires a level of self-responsibility and a willingness to meet discomfort.

  • You’re looking for someone to teach you “the way.” This is a journey of sovereignty and an invitation to listen to your body and inner guidance.

  • You have no experience in working with your sexuality / transformational / temple / ritual spaces. This journey is not suitable for total beginners.

  • This is up to you. This journey requires you to have a solid sense of your own boundaries and capacity. While there will be invitations for intimate touch and sensual explorations (alone and with other participants), you choose what feels right for you in each moment.

  • Yes. You need to have laid some foundations with working with your sexuality, embodiment and ritual (such as JUICE, ISTA, Tantra workshops, temples etc). This is not a space that’s suitable for total beginners.

  • Yes! This is a queer-loving space which welcomes free gender expression. Please be aware that we work intimately with the body - this includes the vulva, breasts/chest and the (energetic) womb space. And while I don’t subscribe to binary gender norms, conversations around identity and “womanhood” will most likely be part of it. There are full and partial scholarships available for QTBIPOC folks - please get in touch to apply.

  • €1,777 (shared room) payable in full or in instalments.

  • Arrival: Sept 7 (between 3 and 4pm)

    Departure: Sept 13 (at 11.30am)

    Please plan to arrive and leave on time. Shuttles will take around 3 hrs from Lisbon and 2 hrs from Faro.

  • You’ll receive all the relevant info including a packing list via email.

  • The journey will be structured around our 3 communal meals - besides that, it remains in the mystery.
