About Us

Attention, curious people: Refugium Aschaffenburg is creating a workshop location for adults who want more.

More from life, more from themselves, more from the world.

Our Vision:

A place for conscious encounters and mindful connection – with oneself and others.

A workshop location where the full spectrum of adult education can be present. A space where sexuality can be considered and valued.

A place where people feel comfortable and know they can embark on their journey.

Just as we were fortunate enough to experience it ourselves.

The Founders:

We are Jay and Christian. Three years ago, we attended our first Kinky Flow workshop at Lomi Ausbildung Berlin. The people, the environment, the atmosphere – we wanted more.

After two days at the basic module of the training, we knew we would continue on the path to becoming an Advanced Lomi Lomi Practitioner. What we didn’t realize: instead of “just” learning to massage, we had embarked on a journey that would change our lives forever.

To create a space ourselves where formats are possible that sustainably change something in the lives of the participants – that became our dream.

A dream that is now becoming a reality at Refugium Aschaffenburg.

Our Values:

We are about community. As cliché as it sounds, we strive for a better world where every person is respected and has the opportunity to develop, grow, and find happiness.

We know that in our world, there is a lack of spaces where sexuality can be explored. That’s why Refugium is a decidedly sex-positive space.

We also offer opportunities to slow down, reflect, and come back to oneself.

Real connections. Honest connection. An awareness that we are all unique, yet form a community.

If you recognize yourself in this, welcome!

Our Premises:

You can find our workshop location in the heart of Aschaffenburg. It’s currently still under renovation. We will soon be able to share impressions.

If you are interested in renting the rooms, it is gladly possible:
