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 are 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.

Testimonials
It was a most wonderful retreat. Sophie, sensitive and encouraging, led us with her open heart to find presence, love, self acceptance, and freedom. The place is just great. food was amazing, the assistants were loving and most supportive. The participants were the people I would want to have in a retreat, and the whole atmosphere was kind, loving and sensitive. Thank you Sophie for that wonderful opportunity to learn so much more about myself and so many ways to continue my path towards love and self fulfillment.

The retreat was transformative in its most beautiful form. Sophie has the gift of creating and holding a space with a great deal of calmness, precision and presence in which you can open up completely and meet yourself and others in this self. The individual days and their program were very well coordinated. Everything built up on each other and Sophie created a true journey to yourself. The practices were intense and the ceremonies in the evening were my personal highlight. What could be more beautiful than being given a space to encounter yourself and to be allowed to meet other people in this self, in all its vulnerability and devotion, in order to experience true encounters and connection. Sophie has connected us all in true love and I am immensely grateful for this experience.
- Hanne
The Tantra Rebirth retreat was a very special experience for me. I have already taken part in various seminars and retreats in the field of personal development / breathwork, among other things, but this was my first Tantra retreat and the first retreat that I attended together with my husband (which was very special). In the space that Sophie created, I felt very safe, seen and accepted. Her holistic approach really appealed to me and I found the structure of the retreat to be very harmonious. I particularly liked the evening rituals, which connected my husband and me on a deeper level. I was also especially impressed by the energetic exercises (e.g. Full Body Activation, Chakra-Breathing). I have the feeling that since the retreat I am more connected to my primal feminine power and I feel expanded. The entire setting was very nice, the musical accompaniment by Michael was wonderful, the retreat location was very nice - and I have never had such good food at a seminar before! I can wholeheartedly recommend the retreat!

Facilitator
Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world.
I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.
During this retreat, I will be supported by two assistants who are also expierenced spaceholders, one of them has extensive experience in psychotherapy.

Frequently asked questions
This is for anyone who is interested in Tantra as a path for healing, expansion and connection. It is created for individuals as well as for couples that like to grow together. All experience levels are welcome. Beginners will enjoy the smooth progression, more advanced will enjoy its depth.
No! This retreat is designed to meet you where you are at and progressively takes you from there. You can be a total Tantra newbie and still participate in all practices of the retreat. You are always encouraged to express your needs and boundaries, which is something that we will also practice.
This retreat is created for individuals and there is no need to come with a partner. This retreat is also open to couples that are open to engage in group exercises.
No, you don't have to do anything. During some practices, nudity is invited. You are free to choose if and how much you'd like to undress. Participants are asked to bring a sarong (a thin cloth) that they can use to cover themselves in case they like to feel nude without being nude.
No, this is not part of the program.
Yes, you may come with your partner and practice together. Though, you should bring some openness to work with others as well as there are some exercises in which you’ll work in groups of 3, 5 or with the whole group.
Welcome to Tantra! :D You will most likely feel uncomfortable at times. This means that you are meeting the edge of your comfort zone and this is where growth happens. There's a thin line between the growth and trauma zone and we want to stay in the growth zone. There is nothing that you have to do!
I have never asked participants for their age, but I'd say between 28 and 58. There is such beauty in having a mixed group of people! Each person will give you a different reflection on to yourself, vareity greatly serves this purpose. You are all most welcome!
I aim to provide a space that is inclusive. Tantra guides you back to your natural expression and all expressions are welcome. All genders should bring openness to practice with all genders. If you have a strong preference of working only with a specific gender, it is best to bring your own partner.
Very! ;) I have a deep interest in spirituality. It is what inspires me endlessly. A slight spiritual curiosity is good to have but it does not need to be your intention for attending the retreat. My approach is grounded and relatable and my main intention is to guide you towards your truth.
