Rise in Love is a two day Tantra weekend retreat for couples in the city center of Berlin. It invites you into the experience of deeper love, understanding and communion with your partner. Explore yourself and each other in new ways, allow yourselves to be held and guided into deeper intimacy and immerse in an experience that may naturally flow into every aspect of your relationship.

This is for every couple that longs to

• Spend meaningful, uninterrupted time together with the sole purpose of truly connecting
• Experience deeper intimacy on a physical, emotional and spiritual level
• Invite more joy, playfulness, spontaneity and eros into your partnership
• Strengthen your bond and feel more deeply alive and connected together
• Feel whole and complete within yourself and in your relationship
• Meet each other again with presence and authenticity
• Explore new ways of being intimate together

This Tantra couples immersion is a holistic initiation into Tantra for newcomers and offers a valuable deepening for more seasoned practitioners. Whether you’ve been together for years or are newly together - this weekend workshop is for any couple who want to experience deeper intimacy, invite in more aliveness and meet themselves and the other more deeply.

#### What to expect:

• Understand Tantra through discourse and experience it through practice
• Well balanced program with a variety of partner practices (see below)
• A curated journey designed to guide you deeper
• A sensitively and lovingly held container
• Cosy and comfortable studio
• Small group with max. 5 other couples (all couples welcome!)

#### 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.
• 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
• Partner meditation; connect heart to heart and experience connection beyond words by cultivating open-hearted presence
• 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.
• Ritual; honour your connection, invoke sacredness and a profound sense of closeness through Tantric 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.
• Massage / sacred 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.
• 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?

#### Who is this for?

This is for every couple that wishes to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship - emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is for couples that are looking for new ways of being intimate and are open to growing individually and together. Previous Tantra or meditation experience is not required but ideally you bring some spiritual curiosity. Also for more seasoned Tantra practitioners, this 2-day Tantra workshop is likely to expand your current understanding and practice.

#### How your day will look like

The total practice time each day is about 7 hours, divided over 3 practice blocks. The schedule looks a little different for each day but here you’ll find an example of how your day will look like.

10.45 - 11.00 arrival

19.30 - 20.00 closing
Please count with the possibility that we’ll go 30 minutes over time

Introduction to Tantra - a workshop for beginners

Sat, May 30 · 3:00 PM 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
