Tantra Initiation Retreat

8 - 12th of October 2026

Heal, Transform & Celebrate!

The Tantra Initiation Immersion offers a gateway to move beyond the ordinary and meet life with presence, aliveness and intention. It is a journey of trusting your nature, dissolving old armour, and awakening the radiant power of your life force energy.

In this journey, you will experience individual, partner, and group practices within a transformational process that weaves together ancient Tantric wisdom, Neo-Tantra , Psychology, and energy practices.

Leonie, the main facilitator, draws on her experience as a psychologist to create a supportive and nourishing environment for deep transformation — a space where you can be yourself and listen within.


Content and program

Course Content

In this 4,5 day Retreat we work with the following elements:

The Initiation Immersion combines Neo-Taoist Tantric practices and ancient Tantric wisdom to awaken your life force, unlock your inner power, and embody your authentic being.

Through breathwork, movement, rituals, meditation, and partner practices, we’ll explore the dance between the inner and outer masculine and feminine energies, activate the creative flow and awaken new dimensions of connection and consciousness.

These practices invite presence, emotional depth, and provide tools to allow the circulation of life force energy for vitality and balance. Ancient Tantra brings ritual, devotion, and sacred embodiment. Thanks to all these, the body is opened, the heart awakened.

In this immersion boundaries and consent are not just guidelines — they are part of the practice. We learn to listen inwardly, feel our truth in each moment, and express it with clarity. This is an embodied way of reconnecting with inner authority, trust, and self-respect.


Clear boundaries and conscious consent are pathways to presence and love. By honoring your own boundaries — and those of others — we create a space where it’s safe to soften, open, and relate from authenticity.


In this Immersion, you’ll be guided in how to explore these skills with care, clarity, and compassion — discovering how true connection grows from freedom, not pressure.

Rituals are portals—into presence, clarity, and deeper connection. They help us shed old patterns, set intentions, and open to new energy with purpose and ease. Through sacred space, we release what no longer serves and strengthen what wants to grow.


When we gather in ceremony, our intentions are amplified—calling in transformation, connection, and remembrance. Ritual is a homecoming to yourself and life.

Breath is a gateway—into deeper awareness, expanded energy, and the untapped intelligence of the body.

In this Immersion, you’ll explore a range of breathwork techniques designed to regulate the nervous system, awaken the chakra system, and open the natural flow of life force energy. Through Conscious Connected Breath, sublimation practices, and other Tantric breathwork techniques, you’ll be guided on a journey through the physical, emotional, and energetic layers of your being—unlocking hidden potential and inner clarity.

We are the body—yet so much more. We are powerful, energetic beings, deeply interconnected with all of life. When we tune into our energy body, we unlock new dimensions of connection, presence, and aliveness.


In this Immersion we’ll explore how to expand consciousness through different energetic practices. We’ll dive into the intelligence of our life force energy and its role in creation, flow, and transformation.

At our core, we are beings of unconditional love, joy, and sensitivity. Reconnecting with this truth brings ease, presence, and freedom into our lives.

However, unprocessed experiences often create armor around our hearts, limiting our ability to fully express and receive love. In a safe space, we explore these defenses, allowing hidden parts to surface with compassion.

As we soften and release the mechanisms that once protected us but now keep us closed off, we create space for deeper authenticity, intimacy, and freedom. We break free from old cycles of fear and shame and reclaim our power through love.

Many of us have been shaped by society, and along the way, we’ve lost touch with our true sovereignty. This can limit our experience of life and create distance from the richness of existence and our intuition.

In this Immersion, we invite you to reconnect with your wild essence, move beyond fear, and express yourself more freely. From this space, emotional fluidity can return—just as it did in childhood, but now held by the wisdom of your adult self.

Here, we honor and celebrate your inner authority, allowing the wild essence within to rise, to move, and to dance.

How it Works?

We will create a safe heart-centered container with the intention to explore Tantra. We are all different, and in the retreat, we invite you to embrace what makes you unique. There is no need to do anything that does not work for you.

There is no sexual intimacy in this retreat. Because we work with polarities, we will balance the number of men and women in this course. It is also possible to work with the same sex.

I highly recommend Tantra from the Heart. Leonie is an incredible facilitator who powerfully holds the space with wisdom, humour and a lot of heart. As a facilitator myself, I experienced her mastery at what she has carefully crafted. The 4 ,5 day immersion is a journey into self, expansion, pleasure, possibility and heart opening connection. Her team is amazing as well. I would do another of her offerings in a heartbeat!
