Philosophy

Tantra

Tantra, over a thousand years old, offers its wisdom to us, today's open-minded people, as a path to personal growth. It describes the energetic relationships, the unity of all being, as the source of a joyful and ecstatic existence that continuously experiences its potential. Tantra is neither religion nor dogma, but an individual journey that culminates in freedom.

My approach is a very passionate, emotionally driven form of Tantra. It connects you with your feelings and fosters clarity and independence in daily life. And it profoundly opens your capacity for compassion. Suppressed emotions often lie like a veil over reality, constantly clouding perception and also your zest for life. They prevent intimacy, openness, and deep, fulfilling encounters. In Tantra, you have the opportunity to shed your skin like a snake: to recognize and feel the entanglements. Awareness creates space for freedom. The more you regain control of your own life, the more you know every corner and space, the more you can work with your energies: The liberated sexual energy is available to you as a companion for everyday projects or for spiritual practice.

Beyond consumption, Tantra is based on the cultivation of sexuality; indeed, it is about increasing energy and the sacred aspect of sexual being. In Tantra, the body is revered. Likewise, Shiva and Shakti (the divine essence residing beyond the personal, within man and woman) enjoy the greatest veneration and respect.

Encounters based on such an attitude are becoming increasingly rare under today's circumstances, with their performance pressures and prejudices. The Tantra seminars offer insights into my work, exploring questions about love and sexuality from a tantric perspective. To preempt a potential question: there is no "nude session" or sexual interaction in the short, two-day weekend seminars. Only the willingness to be fully present is required.

Body therapy

The focus is on intensive bodywork. Techniques used include bioenergetics, holotropic breathwork, rebirthing, and elements of Tantra yoga. Professional and individualized adjustments help ensure that even a short seminar can produce noticeable results.

For beginners, this is a challenging time: It's absolutely essential at the beginning to soften what's rigid and frozen. The work always starts with your own "armor," increasing your sensitivity and your power. Yoga practices quickly grant greater freedom of movement. A large number of guided, emotionally focused sessions repeatedly bring you back to yourself and allow your issues to surface.

Bioenergetics

Modern bioenergetics and sex therapy utilize the fundamental experiences and concepts of the Austrian sex researcher Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen, his American student (bioenergetic analysis). The consensus is that, throughout their development, humans defend themselves against feelings that are too much or too difficult for the overall system to process at that particular time. As a result, people develop "armor" over the course of their lives. Most of the time, those involved are unaware of this. However, this so-called "armor" can also become visible, for example, in the sexual sphere. A common issue for men is the inability to experience pleasure for a longer period (precocious puberty). In women, it can manifest, for example, as orgasmic dysfunction.

Modern bioenergetics and sex therapy utilize classic bioenergetic exercises and postures from yoga. Music and spoken language are used to support the process and restore the unity of breath, voice, and movement. The duration and number of repetitions vary depending on the length of the exercise.

Interaction of Tantra, body therapy and bioenergetics

The seminars are based on proven methods from bioenergetics and yoga, as well as tantric techniques. This combination of modern Western and Eastern methods helps to release and reliably increase life energy! A truly unique aspect is the professional guidance and the instructor's compassionate connection with the group.

All exercises are powerful tools that can also be practiced independently later on. Tantra requires mutual respect and esteem as a prerequisite for interacting with one another.

Tantra rituals

Tantric rituals hold a prominent place in Tantra seminars, and especially in the year-long Tantric Matrix training program. Each extended seminar culminates in a ritual. These Tantric rituals are often quite elaborate and characterized by sensual and magnificent performances. Traditionally, a purification phase precedes the rituals, which in earlier times consisted of fasting. We now use modern methods to cleanse body and mind, allowing us to commune with the divine. Therefore, rituals are only performed in extended seminars or the year-long Tantric Matrix training program. Nudity is required for these sessions.
