A spiritual journey towards the union of the sacred and the sensual

This workshop invites you to return fully to the body, not as an object, but as a living temple, traversed by subtle dimensions of being.
Immerse yourself in a transformative experience where the body rediscovers its sacred and alchemical dimension. This workshop invites you to explore the mysteries of tantric union, an ancient tradition that awakens subtle energies and transforms the meeting of bodies into a ritual of spiritual awakening.

The essence of our approach

This alchemical workshop is an invitation to experience sensuality as an inner path, to restore ritual and the quality of presence to their rightful place in intimate experience, and to allow a union to emerge where desire and spirituality resonate with one another.
At the heart of our approach lies the transmutation of energies: how the union of two beings can become an alchemical crucible where the lead of ordinary passion is transformed into the gold of awakened consciousness.

What you will discover

During this placement, you will be guided through:

  • The foundations of tantra: principles of energy circulation, awakening of kundalini, conscious breathing
  • Dance, active meditations, mantras
  • Tantric and sacred touch (including massage)
  • The union of polarities: harmonisation of the masculine and feminine principles present in each of us
  • Rituals: practices inspired by various traditions (Tibetan Buddhism or Kashmiri Shaivism) to channel creative energy towards manifestation and personal transformation

For whom?

This workshop is aimed at people wishing to deepen their relationship with sexuality in a spiritual dimension, whether they are in a relationship or on an individual journey. The approach is non-dogmatic and respectful of all spiritual paths.

Both beginners and experienced practitioners will find plenty here to enrich their practice and understanding of the mysteries of union.

An invitation to an inner journey

More than just a teaching, the Alchemy of Souls is an invitation to rediscover sexuality as a path to awakening and self-knowledge. It is a sacred space where the body becomes a temple, where desire becomes a prayer, and where the meeting of two beings can open the doors to subtle dimensions.

Join us for this initiatory journey to the heart of tantric alchemy, where breath, movement and consciousness merge to reveal the divine nature of union.

Sacred union: at the heart of the living – Merkaba, tantra & sacred geometry

In nature, everything is a relationship.
The breath of the trees, the rhythms of the tides, the spirals of flowers and shells remind us of a simple truth: life is a dance of unity, balance and living intelligence.

This internship is a invitation to return to the heart of this experience of unity... not as a concept, but as a reality to be experienced in the body.

Through the conscious breathing, the movement, the meditation, the mindful touch and some tantric practices connected with nature, you are exploring another quality of presence: more embodied, more sensitive, more open.

Little by little, the body calms, the energy flows differently, and an inner space opens up – a space where the heart, body and consciousness cease to be separated.

In this immersion, you are invited to feel what it truly means sacred union :
that of the inside and the outside, of the inner masculine and feminine, of matter and consciousness.

Nature then becomes a living mirror, a support and a guide in this profound reconnection with yourself and the living world.

A journey to inhabit your body fully, rediscover the simplicity of the moment... and let a more unified, more vibrant, more free presence emerge.

What You Will Experience

  • Explorations of movement, breath and sound – the three essential gateways of Tantra according to Margot Anand (SkyDancing Tantra School) – to awaken and harmonise your life force.
  • Energy activation and circulation practices to refine your presence, release tension and let life flow more freely within you.
  • Rituals inspired by the alchemical principles of sacred geometry: Egyptian pyramids, Merkaba and other universal symbols of transformation.
  • Times of mindful touch and guided tantric massage, to deepen the connection to oneself and to the other in a space of respect, presence and subtle listening.
  • Collective experiences connected to nature, to honour the living world, open the heart and feel more deeply the unity between you and the world. The nature of the Hameau de l'Étoile is ideal for such experiences (its river as well as other surprise locations!) 

🕉 For whom?

This residential workshop is aimed at people wishing to better understand the different facets of their being (body, heart, mind, energy), whether they are in a relationship or on an individual journey. The approach is non-dogmatic and respectful of all backgrounds.

Workshop open to beginners as well as those who have already experienced tantra workshops.

Join us for this unique tantric celebration where breath, movement and awareness unite to reveal the quintessence of your being – where breath becomes light and every moment becomes sacred.

and spiritual

Summer Tantra Workshop

An immersion in the magic of Tantra, where every gesture becomes an act of love and awareness.
