About this event
This weekly workshop is for everyone who wants to live and love authentically. Each session explores some of the core principles of Tantra through embodiment, meditation and conscious connecting.
The practice offers a potent opportunity to alchemize wounds into wisdom, pain into pleasure, shame into confidence and judgment into compassion. You will leave with a deep sense of connection, joy and expansion, and with new tools that enable you to create deeper intimacy with yourself and others.
This workshop is perfectly suited for beginners as well as for more advanced practitioners who wish to practice regularly. You are welcome to come alone, with a friend or with a partner. Please come dressed comfortably, and feel free to bring any items that enhance your meditation and embodiment practice.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Sophie is a Tantra and feminine embodiment facilitator. Her greatest passion is to create spaces in which individuals are able to (re-)connect with the beauty of life, the beauty of being human and the beauty of being themselves.
Her own Tantra journey started in 2020. After years of spiritual exploration through meditation, yoga and dance, she suddenly felt an undeniable calling to walk this unknown path. Two years later, the call was so strong that she decided to leave everything behind to travel and study Tantra. Very quickly she also found herself teaching. Sophie is now back in Berlin to share the transformative practices that have touched all areas of her life.
She is double certified as a Tantra teacher (700 hours) and has studied with teachers in Greece, Thailand, India and Ibiza. Her workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered.

TESTIMONIALS
Sophie holds space with calm, deep presence. I attended several of her tantra workshops in Thailand and I benefitted deeply from her work. I felt safe enough to open my heart to new experiences, share more authentically with others. I met my edges but always felt able to express my needs or boundaries at any point. Thanks Sophie for creating such a loving container for this important work.

Sophie's tantra workshop was absolutely incredible! The exercises were both challenging and liberating I was able to explore my relationship with different aspects of myself in a way that was deeply transformative. I left the workshop feeling more connected to my body and more confident in my identity than before. Sophie's passion for the work was evident in every moment, and her skill as a facilitator was truly inspiring. I can't recommend her workshop enough - it was an incredible experience that I'll never forget. Thank you, Sophie!

I attended several tantra workshops run by Sophie in Koh phangnan, Thailand.I felt very safe and supported during the workshops, and Sophie was an excellent facilitator. She brought playfulness and fun, warmth and heart, energy and care, and also knowledge and wisdom. I would highly recommend a tantra workshop with Sophie.

Sophie’s tantra classes are fantastic. She is highly knowledgeable and her passion comes through in her teaching. She is sensitive to everyone’s needs and creates a space that feels incredibly safe and allows you to relax (which is essential for growth and healing). I felt safe, held and guided by her and was able to develop my understanding of intimacy and connection on both a mental and emotional level. I feel privileged to have experienced her classes as they allowed me to develop my self-awareness, recognise my emotional blocks and carry these lessons into my life. Thank you so much Sophie for sharing your sensitivity, wisdom and gift with others!!!

Frequently asked questions
These sessions are for anyone who’s curious about Tantra as a path for healing, expansion and connection. To be able to participate in the sessions it is necessary that you fully understand English and that you're able to move and sit without constrains. Feel free to reach out when you have doubts.
You can wear layered, comfortable clothing. Further you can bring anything that you need to be comfortable during the class but there is no requirement to bring anything. You may want to bring a refillable water bottle, your own meditation pillow or a journal.
Yes, you can practice together. There will be solo-, partner- and at times also group exercises. During the partner exercises you can choose to work only with your partner. Some of the partner exercises might involve a third or a fourth partner.
I aim to meet you where you are at and take you from there. Wherever you are is okay and more than welcome! Everyone is usually nervous and everyone brings their own bullshit. Fear, shame, judgment, patterns, conditioning. These sessions offer a beautiful opportunity to release and transform.
During Tantric Thursday we are keeping our clothes on.
During the sessions we’ll be moving, standing, laying and sitting on meditation pillows. If you can not do some of these things it might be better to wait till your injury has healed.
Yes this is possible. You are always invited to stay within your boundaries. At the same time, this could be a beautiful opportunity to (begin to) reprogram these negative experiences. You can let that idea sink in and simply see where you are during the class.
That's fully depending on your own preference. The class is created for individuals - though couples can join as well - so usually there will be some rotation in partners. If you feel more comfortable with a friend in the room, then I’d say yes.
I aim to keep the energy balanced in the room. Though, it can not be guaranteed that there will always be a woman available to work with you. In this case, you can either do the exercise by yourself or, by choice, with another man. Both cases offer the opportunity for self-exploration.
