Primal Instinct
A full-day immersive embodiment experience to reconnect with your primal nature.
Sept 12 2026, 1pm onwards
Primal Moves, Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles
Primal Instinct is a full-day immersive embodiment experience to reconnect you with your primal nature, let go of overthinking, and awaken your aliveness.
There is a part of you that already intuits.
It feels deeply, moves freely, expresses what's true. It is your primal nature — connected to the earth, to the elements, to something older than the roles you play. And it is also longing for connection to others: your social primal instinct, a longing for community and union.
Primal Instinct is a day to live from that place. A day with your body, your senses, your animal nature — where you move, breathe, eat with your hands, and let go of your usual persona. A day to connect with others in a way that's real.
To play, to have fun, to simply be.
The event flow
Part One — The Animal Within
Afternoon, 2:00–5:30 PM
Breath, movement, embodied exploration — your body leading, your mind stepping aside. A playful edge arrives with Prey & Predator, an invitation to feel what it's like to hunt, to hide, to be pursued.
Part Two — The Social Animal
Evening, 7:00 PM onward
A feast, eaten entirely with your hands.
Poetic immersive theatre that opens the space.
Guided social connections with others — games, dance, eye contact, sound, scent, touch — held within a very clear container, where you practice absolute sovereignty and proactive consent.

Marie Sauvage
Marie Sauvage is a one of the world’s leading Shibari artists. Over the years, her work has evolved into a ritual of mindfulness, subverting traditional power dynamics and making rope art more accessible, especially to women. Her performances emphasize intimacy, trust, and connection rather than the dominant themes of SM culture. For Marie, shibari is both an artistic expression and a collective ritual, reminding people to embrace emotion, pleasure, and deep human connection.

Mariya Grinina
Mariya is the founder of Feel, a transformational somatic coach, and a tantric love facilitator. She creates immersive experiences that awaken the body and sexual energy, deepen connection to themselves and others, and return to erotic innocence. Her work brings together tantric principles and practices, embodiment, somatic trauma release and integration, and personal development, offering a space where intimacy becomes a path of awareness and spiritual connection, rather than performance.
