Tantra understands male and female as two different energy poles; as polarities of the same ONE energy which is life itself, Divine, Godly and spiritual. When men and women understand the true meaning of their opposite,they learn to harmonise with and support each other in a more spiritual way and in so doing, live their individual potential more fully. Our perceived separateness is able to dissolve and a deeper experience of the ONENESS,the non-separateness of all life draws closer. In this sense, the relationship between man and woman always has a spiritual objective. This is not limited to a love relationship or marriage, but applies to any male/female relationship: father/daughter, mother/son, as well as friendships and professional relationships of opposite gender. In fact every encounter, every interaction between a man and a woman,be it pleasurable or hurtful, be it meaningful or mundane, has a spiritual objective, and becoming aware of this, we learn from each other and grow through each encounter. More importantly however, the spiritual objective is to unite with life itself through relating to each other. In doing so consciously, we are able to experience something of the Divine Nature that we all are. The most intimate form of this uniting is in the sexual act." Ma Anand Leandra, 2009 |
The Tantric Fire Couple's Retreats focus on specific issues relating to women and to men while focusing on the understanding of the "other" and relating to one another. The work will be of a playful, sensual and of a healing nature as well as therapeutic, informative and practical.
At the beginning of a relationship a couple usually experiences a wonderful "heaven on earth"connection creating the illusion of a melting of time and space. Here is someone, who understands you deeply, who accepts you... and so all your elementary needs seem to be fulfilled. As time passes and particularly in dealing with daily life, shadows tend to creep in: controversy, misunderstandings, jealousy, withdrawal, and even loss of respect is often the result. These emotional and practical problems are usually reflected in less frequent and a more superficial sexuality.
How can two people in a relationship consciously create and maintain a condition of solidarity, love and intimacy? How can they renew their connection? Is it possible to fall in love all over again?
This workshop gives you tools to do just this. In a loving and accepting atmosphere, you will learn to connect again - with yourself, and with life - more consciously, more intimately and more lovingly - and in so doing connect equally consciously, intimately and lovingly with your partner.

Not only partners of many years can run into this kind of trouble, also new couples, freshly in love, can benefit from receiving the crucial keys that the Art of Tantra offers, in order to unlock, unfold, grow and retain a deeper quality of love and the ecstatic potential of your sexuality.
In co-coordinated tantric and sensual exercises, you will learn to unfold and expand your sexual energy and consciously draw this into your whole body. You will learn it to embrace your difference as a male or female, and to accept, respect and celebrate this difference in your partner.
We do this through a variety of exercises of a meditative, experiential, sensual as well as sexual nature. We do this playfully and joyfully and thus develop an atmosphere in which you can be authentic individuals connecting towards a common fulfillment of your relationship.
We work at it with a variety of elements from Tantra, tantric massage, sexual therapy, couples therapy, emotional therapeutic processing.....and laughter and a lot of fun!
The Tantric Fire Couple's Retreat is a beginner's weekend. We create a warm, safe and comfortable atmosphere for all the work. You will be guided every step of the way, your boundaries are respected at all times. There is no explicit nudity involved.
