TANTRA in Berlin

Tantric Date Night - Tantra workshop for couples

Tue, Sep 1 · 7:00 PM CEST

Sophie Heldens Tantra, Praxis Köpi, Köpenicker Straße 175, 10997, Berlin, DE

! All sessions in English except for 24.03, 21.04, 09.06, 28.07 & 01.09- these sessions will be in German !

Wanting to connect deeper with your partner? Looking for new ways to be intimate? Hoping to foster love, awareness, and communication in your relationship?

Take some quality time away from the daily grid and explore Tantra together through embodied practice. The practice is designed to foster deeper intimacy, attunement and harmony between the two of you.
Tantra invites you to allow your life force energy to flow without inhibition and to cultivate it for self-realization. Part of the practice is about inviting in more opening. Openness creates union, resistance creates separation. Deep connection, more pleasure and joy are a result of experiencing more openness.

Tantra is for everyone! All couples are welcome regardless of sexual orientation and experience level. Not in a romantic relationship? Feel free to bring anyone you'd like to practice Tantra with.

What to expect:

• Discourse, demo practice and Q&A: learn about Tantra through discourse, ask your questions
• Tantra meditation practice: presence, movement, sound and breath
• Sharing before and after practice: share about your fears and desires & reflect on your experience
• Cozy studio setting: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment
• No partner-exchange: practice only with your partner
• Fully clothed: you may keep your clothes on during the entire practice

What to bring:

• Wear comfortable clothing
• Water bottle to stay hydrated

Tickets: 69€ per couple.

Introduction to Tantra - a workshop for beginners

Sat, Sep 5 · 11:00 AM CEST

Sophie Heldens Tantra, Praxis Köpi, Köpenicker Straße 175, 10997, Berlin, DE

What is Tantra? How does Tantra differ from other spiritual or self-development practices? What is the role of sexuality in Tantra? What are the core principles of Tantra? Can Tantra be practiced alone or is it mainly for couples? How does Tantra enhance personal and spiritual growth?

This 4-hour workshop is designed specifically for beginners who are curious about Tantra and want to get a first taste of its profound teachings. With the aim to demystify, we’ll address common questions and misconceptions through both discourse and direct experience.

After the introduction round and discourse, you’ll be invited to practice a series of guided exercises designed to deepen your comprehension of Tantra's core principles. These practices include active meditation, energy practices and both solo- and partnered exercises, allowing you to tap in to an embodied experience of the teachings. You will gain tools that can be applied in your daily life, enhancing both your personal and spiritual growth.

What to expect

• Discourse and Q&A: learn about Tantra through discourse and ask your questions
• Guided practice: experience Tantra through guided embodiment and meditation practices, both solo and with partners
• Conscious connection: explore yourself through the meeting with others. Learn new tools and skills to initiate deeper intimacy.
• Sharing: integrate your experience through sharing with others.
• Cozy studio setting: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment.

By the end of the session, you are likely to leave with a renewed sense of peace, a deeper connection to yourself and others, and a more profound understanding of Tantra. This workshop serves as a gentle yet powerful introduction, equipping you with the knowledge and experience needed to explore Tantra further.

What to bring:

• Wear comfortable clothing
• Water bottle to stay hydrated

Dearest fellow human,

Have you ever wondered how your life might be different if you’d be free of fear, guilt and shame? If you stopped playing small and embraced all that you are- your body, your mind and your spirit? If you were fully attuned to your intuition and your body’s innate wisdom and you’d feel confident to express and live in accordance with your truth? If you’d be so firmly rooted in self-love that nothing, no situation or person, would be able to take you out of it?

What if, instead of trying to make sense of what is happening unconsciously, you were able to be fully present in your relationships; noticing and owning your triggers, projections and patterns? What if you had the capacity to hold space for all of it, both the pleasant experiences as the so-called bad ones?

And, how would the world look different if we’d let go of judgment and mistrust towards one another? If we were curious and accepting, respecting our differences while celebrating our oneness? If we recognised the beauty that is inside every one of us and that is surrounding us, always?

Imagine how life would be, if you were to live it with an open heart.
Creating a better world starts with oneself.

It starts here.

This is for you if you are ready to...

• Step in to your power
• Gain deeper self-awareness
• Lean further in to self-love
• Find erotic pleasure from within
• Initiate deeper intimacy with others
• Release the past and find forgiveness
• Release the armour around your heart
• Become a wider and fuller expression of yourself
• Let go of shame, judgement and self-limiting beliefs
• Experience more ease in relating and other areas of life
• Increase your capacity to feel and hold your experiences
• Enhance the connection between your body and conscious mind

The pillars of the program

• Embodiment

Embodiment refers to a state of being fully present and engaged in one’s physical body. It involves a deep and conscious connection between mind, emotions and the body. Embodiment also refers to bringing something from the subtler realms in to the physical (a concept, idea, archetype etc.).

• Shadow work

Tantra invites you to see yourself and turns everything that is not yet love in to love. Shadow work is an integral part of Tantra and always present in each and every practice. Some exercises during this retreat are specifically designed to integrate your shadow and turn it in to power and insight.

• Conscious connection

Get to know yourself through the meeting with others. Every person provides you with a different reflection on to yourself. During this retreat you’ll be invited to work with others (in pairs, groups or at times the whole group). You’ll learn tools and skills to feel save in relating and to initiate deeper intimacy.

• Energy practices

These practices lay at the foundation of achieving spiritual transformation. Tantric practices focus on awakening and balancing the chakra’s which helps in achieving physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Besides focussed awareness, we’ll be using the three keys to energy; sound, breath & movement

• Meditation

The practice of Tantra is always to cultivate open-hearted presence and bringing this in to everything we do. When you are in a state of loving awareness the divine will reveal itself to you and through you. Whatever comes in to your field of open-hearted presence will be transformed.

• Ritual

Rituals serve as a way to purify the body and mind. In Tantra, the body is seen as a temple, and the mind as a tool for spiritual evolution. Rituals can be used to cleanse any physical, emotional or energetical impurities. They provide a framework through which to invoke sacredness in ordinary actions.

Living Tantra workshop: Love - explore Life's essence

Sat, Sep 19 · 3:30 PM CEST

Sophie Heldens Tantra, Praxis Köpi, Köpenicker Straße 175, 10997, Berlin, DE

A nourishing space for self-reflection and growth. Explore the principles of Tantra through direct experience and welcome a more liberated version of yourself.

Living Tantra is a workshop series created for those who wish to deepen their exploration of Tantra. Inspired by ancient Tantric philosophy, each gathering takes us into a new theme through embodiment, meditation, energy practices and more.

These sessions are for anyone who’s curious about Tantra as a path for healing, expansion and connection. Whether you are looking for an opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper way, to connect authentically with others, to find wholesome nourishment or, to be inspired; this Living Tantra workshop series provides a regular moment of connection with yourself, with others and with the teachings of Tantra.

Love
This time, we’ll be asking ourselves the question ‘what is love’? Tap into your inner wisdom through embodied experience and you might find an answer.

In this edition of Living Tantra, you will be invited to:
🔸Explore different expressions of what we call Love
🔸Tap into a sense of devotion
🔸 Surrender into the universal heart

Expected benefits
These journeys offer a space for self-reflection and growth. The growth that happens in this space allows for a more liberated sense of self outside of the space. You are likely to emerge with a renewed sense of connection and peace.
