Program

Given the international nature of the retreat, the sessions will be provided in English.

Arrival July 20, 2025
We welcome all participants from 4:00 PM
There will be dinner at 7:00 PM
There will be an introduction and explanation of the program at 8 p.m Workshop days Monday to Friday

We divide the participants into 3 groups, taking into account (occasional) couples and single men.
The participants always rotate to a different trainer every half day. In the evening there is an optional activity, sometimes as a complete group or sometimes in smaller groups.

What will be covered during the sessions:
– Prana flow massage, prana energy is generated by activating the male and female zones on the body and mixing them into one prana energy. This prana energy is the neutral (non-dualistic) foundation for how the massage intuitively proceeds.

– 5 element massage, to compelling music the 5 elements become earth. water. firework. air and ether activated in the body. After an explanation and demonstration, giving and receiving in couples follows in complete peace and quiet. The entire challenge is to connect the five elements without excluding layers so that the body reaches a balanced state of being and ecstasy.

– Head massage, chakras and sub-chakras are stimulated and thus activated by massage. The points on the body can be divided into sensitive to very sensitive zones. When all zones are open or awake, you can do anything regardless of the order, as long as it feels right.

– Inner flow massage, a massage to make a contract with yourself and turn inward. No or little fire elements but calm, grounding and warming touches and massage movements. The entire body is brought into deep rest and peace, with moments of deep feeling and reflection from within.

– Tantra Kriya Yoga & Pranayams exercises and meditation

– Shamanic & Tantric ceremonies

– Tantra Kaula Massage which is about the importance of the erotic male energy in the development of the positive sexual encounter. Learning how to move and modulate sexual energy

– Lingam exploration massage about developing the awareness and power of the Lingam as an intrinsic part of our orgasmic energy to see the importance of cultivating sexual energy for our daily lives and for our intimacy

– Sexual De-armouring Massage on unblocking energy, muscular system to explore what are the problems that do not allow us to be in the masculine wholeness of your sexual life.

– Sacred Intimacy massage about sensuality and sexuality as tools to broaden the polarities in a sexual encounter and how to give and receive a multi-orgasmic experience in a circular way.

– Temple Night about exploration of your desires and the conscious inner dialogue of communicating your intimacy with others.

Trainers

Johan Raaimakers
I will take you on a tantric massage adventure. Since 2010 I have been following various intensive massage courses that have led to the knowledge and experience of today. My main training is training as a tantra masseur at Tantra Lotus in Breda. This is a Tibetan Buddhist training from the Kum Nye tradition, where a lot of attention is paid to practice (massage), theory (Dharma), yoga and meditation (vipassana and tenang). During this period I have learned and experienced the profound effect that a massage has on our body. Not only physically but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Massage techniques such as Sveda, Vedic and prana flow. I also use duo yoga techniques and meditative techniques in a massage for a stable basis for giving a tantric session. I have gained extensive experience in giving massages. And although all people, wishes and bodies are different, my intention is always the same: to bring balance. I still follow courses and immerse myself in Eastern and Tibetan traditions and visions. Since 2016, I have also been giving practical lessons in Tibetan tantra massage, supplemented with the necessary theory. My goal in these lessons is to let people experience what tantra and the philosophy behind it is and how it feels in the body. Feel and experience.

Andre Kraft
My passion for movement, touch and connection became my profession, where I have been teaching and therapy in tantra for more than 20 years. I have also been teaching Pilates and Yoga for more than 10 years! Over the last few years I have found the essence of everything in Tantra & Ancient Tantra Kriya Yoga – the true combination of our physical body with our sensuality, our emotions and our higher self: the pure essence of who & what we are. The origins of my Tantra vision can be found in Indian philosophy, which is also the home of Yoga. My form in this is the white Tantra of the Kaula family which focuses on the holistic aspects instead of the sexual. Tantra is a journey that awakens and uses the universal life energy. This energy is also called Prana and means energy in any form. In practice, in Tantra we use knowledge about the body's own energy centers (the Chakras) and the Nadis (energy paths) and stimulate them. Join me on a unique, loving journey to let your life energy flow into your body. The group helps you to discover and unblock deeper layers of yourself. The sexual aspect is not suppressed, but is part of the massages and exercises. Experience a unique, loving exchange with like-minded men during a massage exchange.
