Axel, a former engineer and boat designer-turned-photographer, and his partner Laura, a bodywork therapist, explain that the Hacer el Amor idea came about after studying various things, including psychomagic. Formulated by Alejandro Jodorowsky, a Chilean artist, writer and philosopher, the therapeutic practice holds that witnessing a performance of a problem can heal psychological wounds. Axel and Laura have taken this idea further, Axel claiming that “love making is a very precise mirror of who we are and how we live and ‘observing’ it can help us understand where our problems lie.” So, they decided to create a series of two-day seminars dedicated to awakening the senses and increasing body consciousness, in an effort to help participants re-learn what it means to make love.
