Program
The practices and exercises
Tantra Yoga
Tantra yoga embraces the idea that sexual energy can be harnessed and channeled for spiritual growth and connection. It emphasizes the importance of conscious and mindful intimacy, focusing on deepening the connection between partners and experiencing pleasure as a spiritual practice. Tantra yoga includes practices that involve partners, such as eye gazing, synchronized breathing, and physical postures done together.
These practices aim to deepen the connection and energetic exchange between partners, fostering trust, intimacy, and spiritual union.
Tantric Meditation
The Tantric practices involve mantra chanting and guided meditation to activate and balance the chakras and facilitate the movement of energy through the Merkabah.
The Merkabah is also associated with the concept of sacred geometry, particularly the star tetrahedron shape. This geometric form is believed to represent the interplay of masculine and feminine energies, as well as the balance between the physical and spiritual realms. By visualizing and meditating on the Merkabah's geometric form, practitioners seek to align themselves with these energies and access higher states of consciousness.
Tantric Massage
During a tantric massage, the practitioner uses various techniques to stimulate and relax the body, including gentle touch, strokes, and pressure points. The massage may involve the entire body, including erogenous zones, but the focus is not solely on sexual arousal. Instead, the goal is to create a deep sense of relaxation and connection between the giver and receiver.
The intention behind tantric massage is to create a safe and nurturing space for the receiver to explore their sensuality, release emotional and physical blockages, and experience a deeper connection with themselves and their partner if the massage is performed in a couple's context.
The retreat involves a combination of practices and exercises that help couples deepen their connection, cultivate intimacy, and explore their sexuality in a safe and supportive environment. Your tantric retreat experience will depend on your own intentions, openness, and willingness to engage in the practices and experiences offered. It can be a unique opportunity for personal growth, connection, and self-discovery in a supportive and intentional environment. Here are a few factors that make this tantric retreat special:
1. Transformation and self-discovery
Retreat provides a space for deep personal transformation and self-discovery. Through practices such as meditation, breathwork, and energy work, you may have the opportunity to explore and heal aspects of yourself, leading to personal growth and a deeper understanding of your own desires, boundaries, and potential.
2. Connection and intimacy
Retreat emphasizes connection and intimacy, both with yourself and with others. Through partner exercises, conscious touch, and communication practices, you can develop a greater sense of connection, trust, and intimacy with yourself and with others in a safe and supportive environment.
3. Sacred and nurturing space
Retreat creates a sacred and nurturing space for participants. This can include beautiful natural surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and a supportive community of like-minded individuals. The intentional design of the retreat space can enhance your experience and create a sense of safety and relaxation.
4. Guidance from experienced teachers
The retreats are led by experienced teachers who can provide guidance, support, and wisdom throughout the retreat. Their expertise and knowledge can help you navigate the practices, answer questions, and provide a container for your personal growth and exploration.
5. Integration of mind, body, and spirit
Retreat focuses on integrating the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing the interconnectedness of these aspects of your being. Through practices such as yoga, meditation, and conscious movement, you can cultivate a greater sense of wholeness and alignment within yourself.
6. Deepening your relationship with pleasure
Retreat explores the concept of pleasure as a spiritual and transformative force. By embracing and expanding your relationship with pleasure, you can tap into a deeper sense of joy, aliveness, and fulfillment in your life.

- Trust building
- Mindful communication
- Problem-solving exercise

4. Tantric breathwork
Circular or connected breathing: In tantric breathwork, the breath is practiced in a continuous, circular pattern without pauses between the inhale and exhale. This connected breathing technique helps to create a steady flow of energy throughout the body, promoting a sense of unity and integration.
By consciously directing the breath and visualizing the energy flowing through specific channels or energy centers (chakras), practitioners can awaken and harmonize their energy system. Some tantric breathwork practices involve breath retention, where the breath is held in after the inhale or exhale for a specific duration. Breath retention can help to build energy, increase focus, and induce altered states of consciousness.
