Life UNTAMED: The Secret to Becoming Magnetic in Love, Wealth & Power (E)
Alice Hong
Hi, I’m Alice.
I help passionate women create lives that turn them ON — in love, life, and business — so they can have more aliveness, pleasure, and financial wealth.
For the past 15 years as an embodied feminine leadership coach & tantra teacher, I’ve supported thousands of women (and hundreds of men) to create the intimacy, passion, and purpose they only dared to dream of… (and sometimes secretly)…
How do we do that? By connecting you to the wild wisdom of your body, increasing your pleasure (this is a woman’s secret sauce to radiance), and equipping you with tangible tools to align your actions and soul so you can move powerfully forward in life.
When this happens — watch the magic that unfolds (quick) in your life and relationships.
"Through the UNTAMED method, discover what's been blocking you from already having what you want (hint: it's not what you think) and experience powerful tantric activation that creates new neural pathways for receiving more pleasure, abundance, and deep connection.
Learn to channel your erotic life force into manifesting the love, wealth and power you're meant to live."
"I invite you to let go of the stories, the masks, and the weight you've carried, to reclaim your worth, power, and creativity, and remember the power of your erotic nature and pleasure—it is deeply healing and transformational."
Summary
- The workshop focuses on "untaming" oneself by dropping social masks and connecting to true self through breath, presence, and embodied exercises. - Uses the tantric concept of Shiva and Shakti to symbolize awareness (masculine) and experience (feminine), encouraging participants to connect deeply with others. - Participants practice vulnerability by sharing desires and receiving support in groups, highlighting the importance of asking clearly and receiving fully. - Explores conditioning and "taming" from childhood that limits authentic expression, encouraging healing through body awareness and reclaiming erotic energy. - The session includes offers for deeper engagement through retreats and coaching programs aimed at ongoing personal transformation and empowerment.

Reclaiming wild authenticity: how tantra and embodiment practices can unlock personal power
Embodied feminine leadership coach Alice Hong guided participants through transformative exercises at Swiss wellness gathering
At the Heal Play Love Festival in Kemptthal, Switzerland, embodied feminine leadership coach and tantra teacher Alice Hong led an experiential workshop that challenged participants to shed layers of social conditioning and reconnect with their innate power through practices rooted in tantric philosophy and somatic awareness.
The session, titled "Life Untamed," drew on Hong's 15 years of experience supporting women in creating more aliveness, pleasure, and financial wealth by connecting to what she calls "the wild wisdom of your body."
The concept of untaming
Hong opened the workshop by introducing the central metaphor of "untaming"—a process of removing the masks, behaviours, and beliefs acquired through societal conditioning to reveal one's authentic self. She distinguished between the "tamed" version of ourselves that we present to the world and the untamed essence that holds our genuine power and desire.
"When we're little, we're taught all these things about how to be in the world—how to smile, how to behave, what's appropriate," Hong explained to the gathered participants. "But somewhere along the way, we lose touch with what we actually want and who we actually are."
The workshop employed a blend of breathwork, partner gazing exercises, and small group interactions to help participants identify and move beyond these limiting patterns.
Shiva and shakti: awareness meets experience
Drawing from tantric philosophy, Hong introduced the concepts of Shiva and Shakti—representing awareness (masculine) and experience (feminine) respectively. These principles formed the foundation for partner exercises where participants practised being fully present with another person without agenda or performance.
In one exercise, pairs sat facing each other, maintaining eye contact while breathing together. One partner embodied "awareness"—simply witnessing without judgment—while the other embodied "experience"—allowing themselves to be fully seen and felt.
"This practice teaches us how to be with another human being in their rawness," Hong noted. "Not to fix them, not to change them, but simply to witness and hold space."
Tracing conditioning back to childhood
A significant portion of the session focused on identifying formative experiences that shaped participants' beliefs about worthiness, belonging, and expression. Hong guided attendees through a reflective exercise where they traced moments from childhood when they learned to suppress their authentic selves.
Participants explored questions such as: When did you learn you weren't enough? When did you stop expressing your true desires? What did you decide about yourself to stay safe or loved?
"So many of us carry these invisible contracts we made as children," Hong observed. "We decided that being loud was bad, or that our needs were too much, or that we had to perform to be loved. These decisions run our adult lives until we bring them into consciousness."
The workshop then shifted to reconnecting with memories of belonging and joy—moments when participants felt fully accepted and alive. This contrast helped illuminate the gap between conditioned responses and authentic expression.
Practising desire and receiving
In what Hong described as one of the most transformative aspects of the work, participants engaged in exercises around clearly stating desires and fully receiving support. Working in groups of three, attendees took turns expressing a genuine want or need while the others practised offering support or simply witnessing.
"Most of us are terrible at asking for what we want," Hong said. "And we're even worse at receiving when someone actually gives it to us. We deflect, we minimize, we make it about the other person."
The exercise created space for participants to practise both clear communication of needs and the often uncomfortable experience of receiving attention, affection, or assistance without immediately reciprocating or deflecting.
One participant shared feeling "seen in a way I haven't been in years" through the simple act of stating a desire and having it acknowledged without judgment or immediate action.
The role of embodiment and erotic energy
Throughout the session, Hong emphasized the importance of reconnecting with the body's wisdom and what she termed "erotic energy"—not necessarily sexual, but the life force that animates desire, creativity, and aliveness.
"Your body holds intelligence that your mind can't access," she explained. "When we live only from the neck up, we miss so much information about what we actually want and need."
Breathwork exercises and movement practices helped participants drop out of analytical thinking and into felt experience. Hong guided the group through exercises designed to increase sensation and presence in the body, creating what she described as "new neural pathways for embodiment and transformation."
Community as healing force
A recurring theme throughout the workshop was the power of community and witnessed vulnerability. Hong framed the gathering itself as an act of resistance against cultures of isolation and performance.
"Healing doesn't happen in isolation," she told participants. "We need each other. We need to be seen in our messiness and our beauty. We need to practise being real with each other."
The session created multiple opportunities for participants to share authentically in small groups, building what Hong called "relational resilience"—the capacity to remain open and present even when feeling vulnerable or uncomfortable.
Pathways for continued practice
Hong concluded the workshop by offering pathways for ongoing engagement with these practices, including retreats and coaching programmes focused on embodied feminine leadership and relationship transformation.
She emphasized that the work of "untaming" is not a one-time event but an ongoing practice of choosing authenticity over performance, presence over perfection, and aliveness over safety.
"This work asks us to keep choosing ourselves," Hong said. "To keep coming back to the question: What do I actually want? What actually turns me on in life? And do I have the courage to move toward that?"
For participants at the Heal Play Love Festival, the session offered both permission and practical tools to begin that journey—shedding inherited beliefs, reconnecting with desire, and practising the vulnerable art of being fully themselves in community with others.
