We are proud and excited to present Berlin based Micha Stella as the guest facilitator for this weekend event. Micha is the creative co-director of IKSK in Berlin and has facilitated a wide range of sex positive events throughout Europe for many years. Everyone who has attended one or more of the Xplore festivals – the recurring European festival for art and lust – probably remember Micha for their wildly creative and conscious mind-body-soul approach.
CREATIVE MORNING
Creative Morning is a free-flowing immersive 3 hours workshop exploring embodiment, sensuality, connection and creative expression.
It is a very empathic space and even if it has a similar structure, it's never the same experience. Always ludic, sometimes more performative or emotional, kink and sensual and even spiritual, most of the time, all of that at once.
Creative Morning has now existed for the past 5 years and it’s really a collective journey where, thanks to the expression of individual wishes, the support of instant composition and body somatic & artistic practices, we address meaningful topics and by using a variety of techniques, we come together to play, feel and explore with radical honesty, radical empathy and radical listening. And we co-create a space where we grow, heal and train humanity while exploring FREEDOM.
We begin the class with a Lazy Warm Up and after we will explore different embodied exercises that I create on the spot, inspired by the written needs and desires of the participants. If your wishes are picked up, you will even get rewarded by a special bonus!
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Creative Morning is open to every Creative Being. It's a space where people from different backgrounds, age, culture, sexual orientation, identity and level of experiences have the chance to connect and relate with each other in a ludic, self-aware and intimate environment.
CAN I JOIN AS A BEGINNER?
Of course, Creative Morning is particularly accessible to beginners and it's a perfect place for beginners and advanced to meet.
DO I NEED A PARTNER?
No, you can join alone, or with a friend, even as a group, and of course also with your partner/s. I invite you to be open to different settings throughout the whole workshop and you might even experience new types of encounters, between individual body parts.
I always suggest trying out different combinations (duo, trios, & group exercises) and celebrate a fluid and collective experience. Nevertheless you will always be allowed to establish your own settings and to adjust all exercises to your own needs, and even to pair up exclusively with your partner(s), if that feels right for you.
DRESSCODE
Be comfortable, be beautiful, be erotic, be able to move around freely. Something that makes you feel good.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Micha is a Berlin-based, French-Italian, queer artist, parent, and filmmaker.
In their work, they explore creative collective and healing processes, gender, sexuality, activism, love, and relationships, with an ironic, erotic, and feminist point of view.
Under the name of Nehra Stella, they directed 3 films: Paris laNuit, Berlin-Sarajevo, and Vivre Berlin and are currently editing “Le bel animal“. They recently created a long immersive performance “I’ll be your woman“ that was presented in DB studio during the berlin gallery weekend of 2024.
Parallel to their artistic work, they research different body practices such as yoga, dance, meditation, fasting, and hypnosis and facilitate workshops combining acting techniques and conscious body-mind, gender fluidity, personal growth, sexual empowerment, consent, and conscious kink.
Micha Stella is a creative co-director and consultant at IKSK (Institute for body research and sexual culture of Berlin) where they teach regular classes such as Creative Mornings, Sexual Empowerment, Girls with cocks, and Creative Playfight, as well as weekend retreats and immersive play spaces.
Micha believes that through Creative & Collective processes with our conscious body-mind-soul, it is possible to survive patriarchy and to transform violent, traumatic, and sex-negative upbringing into a joyful path of recovery. Stella is convinced that by coming together, with all our differences, with Radical Honesty, Radical Listening, and Radical Empathy, we can set the path that leads to a world where all beings can be happy and free.
