RIDING THE TIGER – FROM LETTING GO TI INNER STRENGHT
9 – 12 of July 2026
In this workshop, we explore the qualities of playfulness, lightness, and the inner strength that arises from them. Instead of control, it’s about letting go; instead of effort, it’s about presence. We explore how inner freedom gives rise to genuine impact. “Riding the tiger” stands for the conscious use of our life force: courageous, sensual, alert, and at the same time unattached. Inspired by the principle of “Lalita – the cosmic game,” we view our lives as a play that we are allowed to co-create.
Invitation
For people who are curious about inner transformation, spiritual depth, and vibrant creativity. For all who have the courage to reinvent themselves and blossom in play with the world.
“Riding the Tiger” represents a conscious approach to our life force: courageous, sensual, alert, yet unattached. Inspired by the principle of “Lalita – the cosmic play”, we view our lives as a play that we are privileged to help shape through co-creation.
The following questions guide us:
How can I let go of patterns and act with greater freedom?
What inner attitude creates stability – without becoming rigid?
How does erotic, creative power become a resource in everyday life?
How do I remain tenderly connected to the world without losing myself?
Our tools are: tantra & dance, singing & yoga, relaxation & playing.
Bilingual: German/English
About the ZEGG
The ZEGG (Centre for Experimental Social Design) has been a living community and an educational centre since 1991. On a 16-hectare site surrounded by woodland in Bad Belzig, southwest of Berlin, 120 people live here and create a model for a sustainable world. An ecological lifestyle and individual transformation are just as relevant as the exploration of relationships – with ourselves, in love and partnership and the world. At ZEGG, a more conscious way of living and working together is created, for new ways of living and a more humane world.
We are an international team, who work together with the local communities where we are.

Barbara Stützel
She is a qualified psychologist (licence to practise behavioural therapy), actress, singer and yoga teacher. She is booked worldwide to teach her knowledge of community processes, group communication and topics such as love and freedom.
She has been on the yoga path since 1987 and joined the ZEGG community in 2001. In her work, she explores how people can grow authentically and in connection with each other. What she loves most are the moments in which something new arises from being present with oneself and others. For her, Kaula Tantra Yoga is a path of experience that enables this present contact and thus transformation to authentic being.
