Dr. Diva
Dr. Diva is an actor and director for stage and film, performer and international workshop facilitator: Dirty Talk, Changing Reality, Shame, Self-love, Play Heaven and many more at Schwelle, Xplore, the Art of Love Festival, Sexolution and Into the Wild (Sydney) to name a few.
He is the creator and host of the Opium Berlin and SKIN events and has performed in various legendary clubs such as KitKat, Insomnia, Dark Side or Torture Garden London.
„My kink is connection. If you really see the other, if you are truly seen by the other – see means: really mean – there is a quantum leap in feeling, desire, lust and love.
And all that is so much greater than the perfect ass or the most beautiful eyes. It takes you away from ‘I want’ to a moment together, a magical dance, even if it’s only for one night.“
„I am fascinated by the huge, hidden potentials in us and the ways to set them free. My approach is playful – with ease, humor, empathy and love. Love for myself and people with all their facets.
My motto: I have got a thousand faces and all of them are true. (Henry Miller)“

Mel Merio
Mel Merio
Schwelle vienna is my home, my creative playground and a place where I am welcome as a woman with all my knowledge, my strength and my passion and (sexual) energy.
At Schwelle vienna I always provide musical entertainment at the parties and lead various workshops, for example: Ecstatic Dance, Ritual Posture and Ecstatic Trance ® and Lovemore Playground etc….
I believe that “good” sex, which I see as an expression of our potential and being, is important, necessary and extremely healthy.
It is primarily about the relationship with yourself, which is reflected in the experience with others. Knowing your needs a yes and also being able to say no.
Many conditioning and beliefs have to be let go and the threshold supports each and every one of them and is a very carefully managed place and leaves a lot of space to experiment.
In my workshops I work intensively with the body, music and dance, the state of consciousness trance and ecstasy, your life energy, sexual energy, humor, letting go of conventions and beliefs, gratitude and joy. And self-love. And celebrating life and being.
We are here to have fun and to experience and learn.
I originally come from the creative industry, worked as a presenter for television and radio for a long time and then lived for many years in Germany, America and England. Traveling is my passion, which I still pursue.
At the moment I’m working parallel to my work on the threshold as a djane and musician.

Event Details
With liberating and surprisingly simple exercises you will trick your self censor and let arise and pronounce thoughts, images, stories, which are fantastic, erotic, poetic, dirty, provocative, unexpected and often simply very, very funny.
Originality and spontaneity are authentic, and authentic is attractive and sexy.
Talk is silver, talking dirty is gold.
And the great thing about it: Everyone can do it, you just have to give yourself permission.

Event Details
The skin as metaphore for our past life, tattooed, painted and covered with all our experiences, the good and the bad ones.
In this first gentle then intense ritual we peel off our skin and become pure, soft, innocent like a new born baby, beautiful and sensitive like a mountain on a winter morning, covered with fresh white snow.
Discovering ourselves lightly we meet the other beautiful beings.
