Frequently asked questions
If you don't find an answer for your question, please fill up the form below and we will answer with pleasure.
nb: There are no stupid questions, only questions.
Do I/we have to be naked during the retreat?
During the whole of the retreat, there is nothing you HAVE to do. Every exercise/meditation is an invitation. For some processes (for example massage) we will offer the option to be naked. If you don’t feel comfortable with this you are welcome to keep as many clothes on as it feels good to you.
Do I have to practice with someone else than my partner?
No you don’t.
There might be group meditation where you will interact with other participants but all of our processes are made to be explored within your partnership. That is our focus for this retreat, especially because it is the room to explore: How can I do this meditation with my partner when I feel disconnected or mad at him/her/them?
I don't know anything about Tantra, can I come?
You are very welcome in this retreat even if you don’t know anything about Tantra!
Our practices are influenced by tantric tradition but we are also bringing many intimacy and relationship tools coming from different teachers & modern sciences.
Do we have to be in a long term partnership to come?
This retreat is for people in a loving relationship with each other, who want to come together.
You can be married for more than 20 years, friend +, dating, or in an open relationship it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you both want to deepen that connection.
Can I come alone to the retreat?
You cannot come on your own to this retreat.
This retreat is only open for people in a loving relationship with each other, who want to come together. You can be married for more than 20 years, friend +, dating, or in a open relationship it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you both want to deepen that connection.
Which place will have sexuality during the retreat?
We will address sexuality in some talks, exercises and meditations. This will happen very consciously by respecting your boundaries and – of course – without having orgies or public sex.
Sexual energy and play between partners are welcome during our retreat, as long as they are consensual and respectful of the whole group.
We are in a same sex relationship, is this retreat also for us?
Yes, you are very welcome to our retreat!
Tantra plays with the duality of two energies, that of Shiva and Shakti also called male and female principles. It is often shortened to male energy = man & female energy = woman, and in heterosexual couples, it is mostly true.
However we all have a part of both energies in us, and in a couple, we tend to balance depending on the context. The focus is on the play of those 2 energies in a relationship.
Our limit is that we are a cis-gender white heterosexual couple, and our bias is that we only know this living experience. As we teach from our experiences we might say things that do not resonate with you or your vision.
English and/or German speaking, is this retreat for me?
The retreat will be taught in English and German, in a fluid manner as Claire is mainly English speaker and Stephan German speaker.
If you are not German speaker, no worries we will translate all Germans part in English if needed.
If you are not English speaker, no worries! We both speak German (Stephan’s maternal language) and we will adapt to the need of the group. We can always translate if you need and you don’t need to do your sharings in English.
Most of the processes will be between you and your partner; you can speak whatever languages you wish!
