💆💆🏼♀️ You need to join together with a partner / friend (see info below)
This one-day course offers a grounded and experiential introduction to tantric massage.
In an atmosphere of openness and awareness, we explore how presence can transform the way we touch and connect — with ourselves and another.
You’ll learn to give and receive a full-body massage. When giving, you’ll explore techniques as well as the quality of touch — how to meet the other from presence, respect, and attunement to what is alive in each moment.
As a receiver, you’re invited to surrender to the experience and notice how mindful touch can deepen your connection with your body, allowing whatever arises to be felt fully and consciously.

What is Tantric Massage?
Many people have heard of tantric massage and feel drawn to it, yet still wonder what it really is. There isn’t a single answer. Tantra invites us to meet life as it is, beyond right or wrong, and to experience rather than explain.
In the tantric tradition, prana is often described as the current of life that moves through us. You can also see it physiologically: as the natural rhythm of breath and heartbeat, circulation and digestion, the nervous and hormonal systems, and the subtle processes that connect body and mind — both consciously and unconsciously. Either way, it points to the same experience of aliveness and presence.
During tantric massage, this sense of aliveness can increase. Through touch, warmth, and presence, the body relaxes, muscles soften, and the nervous system calms. When there is care, safety, and no pressure to be different, we can begin to trust and let go.
As we turn inward, sensations, emotions, or tension may surface — they can be felt, expressed, or simply noticed. The body may also respond more vividly: through trembling, waves of heat or cold, emotional release, or a heightened sense of inner flow. From a Tibetan Buddhist perspective, by connecting with what is present without resisting or wanting, we can return to a state of balance.

About Me
I’m Laura, and I've been on the yoga and tantric path for more than ten years, starting with more modern approaches and gradually deepening into classical tantra. This journey has enriched my life in many ways, helping me connect more deeply with myself and others.
I have a small massage practice and have trained in sports massage, Lomi Lomi, Ayurvedic massage, and tantric massage. My biggest passion is tantric massage, where everything comes together — presence, awareness, and touch — in a practice that is both kind and profound.
For several years, I’ve assisted my tantric massage teacher, and over time the wish grew to start offering my own workshops and retreats. I bring this experience into my teaching and sessions, creating a space where participants can explore, give, and receive with care and attention.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Warmly,
Laura
