Tools and practices that you’ll explore together
Eye-gazing
How often do you truly look into each other’s eyes? Such a simple practice opens the doorway to immense depth. Let yourself be seen and notice what arises in this connection. Learn about yourself through the reflection of your partner and experience deeper intimacy.
Ritual
Ritual provides a framework that supports you to drop deeper into open-hearted presence. It has the potency to invite in sacredness into your relationship and to express and renew your love, appreciation and respect for one another.
Movement
Explore new movements together- whether through dance, play or guided practice. Allowing your body to move freely and intuitively gives space for spontaneity and joy to arise. Thoughts quieten and presence enters. Welcome home to your body!
Massage / touch
Explore the quality and power of touch coming from a place of deep presence and reverence. Your touch communicates your internal state and with that affects the internal state of your partner. It is meant to unite on a physical and spiritual level.
Energy practices
Through the use of sound, breath, movement and focussed awareness you will tap into your life-force, opening your central energy channel and allowing for a free flow of energy. This is the basis for full body pleasure and for cultivating your sexual energy. Practicing together with your partner allows for a connection on all levels of being.
Conscious communication
Learn new tools for communicating. Listening carefully and speaking vulnerably about what is actually alive within allows for deep intimacy. Invite your partner into your inner-experience and hold space for theirs. Though we tend to speak often, how often are we fully present in our conversations?

Rise in Love and Embodied Eros offer you a complete journey and understanding of how to integrate Tantra into your relationship. Rise in Love focusses on presence, heart opening and vulnerability and with that lays the foundation for exploring and understanding the role of sexuality in Tantra, which we will explore during Embodied Eros.
Though perfect companions, the two weekends can also be joined individually. Both weekends include sensual and playful elements and exercises to awaken your energy. Rise in Love focuses more on heart to heart connection while Embodied Eros focusses more on sexual aliveness. Both journeys invite nudity at times but can be done while staying partly covered as well (genital massage is optional).

Retreat Facilitator
If you are new here, welcome! My name is Sophie.
I am deeply passionate about guiding couples into an expanded experience of Love. I create spaces where people feel deeply connected and truly seen, leaving them with a sense of wholeness, connection and greater acceptance. As a space holder I value devotion, sincerity and humility.
I am double certified as a Tantra teacher (700h) and have been teaching Tantra groups since 2022. Since then, I have guided over 200 couples. Currently, I am in training to become a couples and sex-therapist.
Feel free to read more about my own personal journey here.
I look forward to meeting you!
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Sophie for such a beautiful and truly special workshop. It was a wonderful gift for both of us. What stood out most was the remarkable care and mindfulness with which Sophie creates the space—not only the physical setting, but especially the subtle space between all participants. She makes it possible for everyone to feel at ease and fully present, fostering a sense of connection that is supportive without ever feeling demanding. Sophie gently guides participants into connection with one another as a group, while always keeping the focus grounded within each couple. At the same time, she remains present and connected in a way that never diminishes the bond between partners—quite the opposite. The impulses and practices she offers feel like meaningful gifts of awareness, enriching shared physical and emotional connection as a couple. We are deeply grateful for this experience.

FAQs
-
Every couple is welcome. Your age, nationality, religion and sexuality does not matter. If you have physical constraints, please reach out to see if that will hinder your participation.
-
To join any of these weekend workshop for couples, you won’t be needing any prior experience! If you are a complete beginner it is best to start with Rise in Love to receive a holistic introduction to Tantra and from there we deepen the exploration through practices and discourses. Though both weekend workshops offer you an entry into your shared Tantra path.
-
This depends on the number of signups but maximum 6 couples
-
You will be invited to remove some clothing during the massage as well as the ritual. For the heart-opening massage (RiL) it would be beneficial if you are okay with exposing at least your chest and for the Tantra massage (EE) also the genitals. But keep in mind that you don’t have to do anything! At any moment you have the opportunity to not participate or to do something in a way that suits your personal needs and boundaries. We can always find ways to adapt the practice!
-
There won’t be any sexual intercourse during the Tantra weekend workshop.
-
The first invitation is to become present with your sense of not feeling comfortable. Does it have a message for you? Presence is the main practice in Tantra at all times. It allows us to know ourselves and to take care of ourselves. From this presence, you can choose not to participate or to participate in a different way. Either way, you are learning something about yourself.
-
100% yes! You are so welcome. My heart jumps with joy everytime a non-heterosexual couple joins the space. It is so important that this work is available to everyone! Tantra does not have to be heteronormative. I am open to learning from you about how to make it even more inclusive while I share my knowledge of Tantra with you <3
-
Spiritual principles are intrinsically weaved throughout this entire retreat. I aim to offer it in a way that it is relevant to you and your daily life. Tantra is embodied spirituality - the aim is to live it and experience it.
-
Generally, English. If there happen to be only Germans in the space then I could switch to German. Your sharings and questions in German are always welcome.
-
Comfortable clothing, sarongs, water bottle, massage lotion or butter (no oil) & optional: lunch, journal, kimono.
-
For cancellations up to 4 weeks before you will receive 50% refund. After that, no more refunds. If you fear not being able to attend, I recommend getting a workshop (seminar) insurance.
