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 when it comes 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?

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.

Every couple is welcome. Your age, nationality, religion and sexuality does not matter. The most important thing is that you are curious and open to discover what Tantra means to you. The course will be conducted in English so you’ll need to have a sufficient understanding of the English language (pardon the dutch accent;). If you have any physical constraints, please reach out to see if that will hinder your participation in any way.
-
To join this weekend workshop for couples, you won’t be needing any prior experience! We will start with a holistic introduction to Tantra and from there we will deepen the exploration through practices and discourses. This weekend workshop could offer you the perfect entry into your shared Tantra path.
-
Between 6 and 8 couples in total.
-
You will be invited to remove some clothing during the massage as well as the ritual. For the massage it would be beneficial if you are okay with exposing your chest. But keep in mind that you don’t have to do anything! At any moment you have the opportunity to not participate or do something in a way that suits your personal needs and boundaries.
-
There won’t be any sexual intercourse during the Tantra weekend workshop. That you’ll save for when you are at home ;)
-
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 learn from you how to make it even more inclusive while I share my knowledge of Tantra with you <3
-
Very! But I always like breaking these concepts down in such a way that it is relevant to you and your daily life. Tantra is embodied spirituality. We don’t want to get stuck in ‘woohoo’ - we want to live it and experience it.
-
English with German translations here and there if needed. Your questions in German are welcome :)
-
Comfortable clothing, sarongs, water bottle, lunch & optional: journal, altar item, additional meditation cushion.
-
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.
