Director of the “Bewusst Sein im Fokus” Center, Co-Founder of BlissPlanet, Co-Founder of The Cocoon
Driven by an untamable lust for life, by the freedom of dance, connected with the world of the seen and unseen and in love with the people and beings of this planet, I create inner and outer spaces for unfolding, healing and pure joy of life — spaces that help overcome suffering and transform human existence into a profound and ecstatic celebration.
Community Catalyst, Curator for Bliss, Schwelle and The Cocoon, Creatrix of ASPACETOAMAZE
I am a Holistic Trauma-Sensitive Integration & Empowerment Coach and practice through the accelerated lenses of Compassionate Inquiry and Somatic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapeutics. With a warm heart and a soft kick-ass mentality, I approach my 1:1 work with clients, as well as workshops, festivals and experience designs. With reference to my creative and communicative background, I bring tools and methods that turn your journey and process into a playground for being and becoming aware. Nervous system regulation, sensual pleasures, radiant authenticity, conscious relationships, somatic sovereignty, and boundaries, baby — these are just a few of my keywords that invite you into the creation of life.
Co-Founder of The Cocoon and Founder of Schwelle
Reinhard Gaida is the founder of Schwelle and a visionary guide in the fields of relationships, embodiment and expanded states of consciousness. With over two decades of experience in therapy, breathwork and hypnosis he creates spaces where people can explore who they truly are – beyond shame, norms and societal expectations.
His mission is to support individuals in discovering relationship formats that truly fit them – free, conscious and deeply alive. He envisions a world where love and connection are not bound by convention and where intimacy becomes a source of power, creativity and joy. His work invites deep transformation – in body, mind and soul. His work has been featured in national and international media for advancing conscious intimacy and relationship culture.
Co-Founder. Creative tinkerer. Web whisperer. Has strong feelings about spacing.
I’ve always had a thing for making things feel right. Websites, brands, words, colors — it’s not just about how it looks. It’s about how it lands. I can spend hours tweaking a button or rewriting one line of text… not because I’m a perfectionist, but because I care. A lot.
I build websites and brands — not the flashy, empty kind, but the kind that feels like you, tells your story and actually works. I like building stuff that’s real. Deep. Alive. And I love working with people who aren’t afraid to be all that, too.
I work best when there’s trust, a bit of chaos and snacks. I tend to fall for things that are a bit weird, a bit wild and way too honest. Same goes for people.
Visual Artist & The Cocoon Interior Designer
As an artist and scenic painter, I create spaces that invite people to open up, feel safe and explore new parts of themselves. I believe that the environments we move through have a profound impact on our energy and our inner state.
Through my spiritual journey, I understood how deeply our surroundings shape us, often more than we realize. This insight has inspired me to weave together my work as an art therapist with the creative process of crafting meaningful spaces. My intention is to design atmospheres that support transformation, connection, and a gentle return to one’s own essence.
Photographer (Camera Fairy) at The Cocoon • Embodiment Facilitator • Curator of Spaces for Growth
My main passion is creating spaces for growth and transformation — spaces where people can reconnect with their inner wisdom through their bodies. I weave embodiment and awareness-based tools with elements of dance, inviting presence, curiosity, and the intelligence of felt experience.
Along my path, I discovered that my presence and witnessing take on a special resonance when I’m holding a camera. Photography became another way of offering people the gift of being truly seen — and of seeing themselves in their raw, deep authenticity. Not so much as a photographer, but as a witness of the moving essence.
We’re thrilled to bring together two trusted communities — BlissPlanet and Schwelle — to create something entirely new.
BlissPlanet, known for conscious and transformative festivals and Ecstatic Dances in Austria, brings its heart‑centred energy, experienced facilitators, and warm, genuine community culture.
Schwelle is known for courageously pushing boundaries. It is a place for deep relational work, lived presence and the shared exploration of the full spectrum of human experience. Schwelle creates spaces where people meet themselves and each other in raw and authentic ways.
When we, Reinhard, Christian, and Niko began designing this retreat, we realized it was high time to bring together all our visions, experiences, and skills to create something truly special. Together, we shaped a deep and powerful format that unites the exploratory, expansive vitality of “Schwelle” with the warmhearted and transformative consciousness work of Bliss Planet. We have brought an event into the world that lives on a new level of embodied awareness — and through it, we aim to inspire thousands of people to live a fulfilled, fear-free, and joyful life. Freedom!!!
Whether you’re coming from BlissPlanet, Schwelle, or discovering The Cocoon Retreat for the first time: you’re invited to arrive as you are, and be carried by the shared aliveness of two aligned communities. Let’s co-create this field of presence. See you in Crete!
