The Stretch Festival can be both a powerful and overwhelming experience. And on top of that we still live in the midst of turbulent times. Are you looking for a space where you can express your feelings and share your experiences in a loving and supportive community? Then join us.
The Heart Circle is a practice that originates from Native Americans, adopted by the Radical Faeries as a way to build community. It is a place where we can speak from the heart and listen with our hearts, honouring the different ways from which we come in a safe and non-judgmental space.

Marco Astolfi and Torsten Bless have been hosting the Village Heart Circle (live since Summer 2017, as well as online since the first Covid lockdown in 2020). Torsten works as an editor and writer, Marco as a literature translator. Both based in Berlin, they joined the Stretch/Village community almost from the beginning, first as attendees, then as volunteers and facilitators. They graduated at the Authentic Eros One-Year Training (Torsten in 2016 and Marco in 2018).
