Couple time-out in Carinthia at Lake Weissensee
Tantra Retreat Austria – Caribbean feeling in the golden late summer at Lake Weissensee
Tuesday, September 8 – Sunday, September 13, 2026
Your Slow Intimacy Retreat in Carinthia – a tantric time-out for couples and practicing couples
“4 Elements – One Love”, this is what we will explore together at the shores of the autumnal Lake Weissensee from September 8 to 13, 2026. Connect with the power of the 4 elements, let the love within you and for each other shine strong and powerful and illuminate your path together:
With your feet firmly planted in the ground, breathe in the clear mountain air and marvel at the glistening lake in the autumn sun. Celebrate yourselves with us, your love for each other and enjoy yourselves and life with all your senses. Let the fire that we kindle in ourselves through mindfulness practice and tantric rituals burn confidently and powerfully – during the retreat and beyond. In this atmosphere of presence, devotion and love, we give you as a couple a time-out to connect, nourish and inspire you.
Fire, water, earth and air will also accompany you in the tantric rituals during our 6 days together. Allow your hearts to open wide for each other and, thanks to Slow Sex, take a completely new look at the supposedly familiar. Let your body, heart and soul speak, dance, do magic and even fly together. Remember: Life may be easy!
Pure Caribbean feeling: the Weissensee Nature Park in Carinthia with its turquoise-green-blue water awaits you
If the weather permits, we will be out and about a lot with you at the Tantra Retreat Austria and visit some wonderful places of power for our spiritual rituals.
A special highlight is our tantric tea ceremony with Blue Lotus – an invitation to combine stillness, sensuality and consciousness in a new way.
And of course, with all the focus on “slow”, slow food should not be neglected. Enjoy the incredibly delicious vegan-vegetarian gourmet cuisine – take your time with every bite – true to the Japanese motto “Hara hachi bu”.
In this tantra retreat, we want to give you new impulses for all areas of life. And this special place – also called the “Carinthian Caribbean” by some – will be supporting us.
At YouMeUnity, we draw on various tantric traditions – in particular the Kashmiri and Tibetan tantra teachings. Our work combines elements of meditation, yoga, touch, movement and encounter.
Between sessions, there is plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of the location – swimming in the lake, taking a deep breath on the private beach, wellness at the hotel or excursions into the mountains. Cable car rides and a boat trip are also part of the optional program.
And if you like, you can simply add a few days’ vacation after the end of the retreat and reflect on your time together at Lake Weissensee.
Tantra Retreat Austria - what to expect
This retreat gives you as a couple a precious break from everyday life – embedded in the tranquillity of one of Austria’s most beautiful landscapes. At the Strandhotel am Weissensee, a hotel that stands for sustainability, gourmet cuisine and understated luxury, a space for depth and closeness opens up. Here you can slow down, consciously enjoy yourselves and celebrate your partnership on a new level.
We also give you space for
- Deep couple experiences: As a couple, you immerse yourselves in tantric rituals and exercises that take mindfulness and intimacy to a new level.
- Touch & presence: You learn to be even more attentive to each other, to feel boundaries clearly and to create a safe space through touch.
- Meditation, yin yoga & stillness: In addition to this feeling of being truly alive, there are moments of calm – guided meditations, yin yoga, quiet times and contact with nature around Lake Weissensee.
- Community with couples: You are embedded in a group of couples who, like you, are searching for depth and connection – a protected, appreciative field.
- Nature & indulgence: In your free time, you can swim, hike or simply relax by the lake. The hotel will spoil you with vegetarian-vegan gourmet cuisine, a wellness area and an atmosphere that lovingly invites you to slow down.
- Ritual & renewal: In addition to the tantric experiences, there is also space for what is important to you as a couple – perhaps even renewing your marriage vows or celebrating new steps together.

Why we chose this hotel
Joy S. and Thomas Hochgesang
For us, a retreat is more than just a seminar - it is an immersion in a world of its own. That's why we were on the lookout for a place that not only looks beautiful, but is also harmonious at heart.
We found this place at Lake Weißensee: an incredibly beautiful landscape with mountains, a crystal-clear lake and a tranquillity that immediately has a profound effect.
We were also deeply impressed by the friendliness and warmth of the people in the region.
By the way, it's exciting how the topic of food has taken on a special significance. We were actually passing through on our way to Italy with a short stopover at Thomas' Austrian relatives. Our hostess spent hours in the kitchen every day to provide us with incredible delicacies from the region and to give us gifts of the harvest from her own garden. We could feel in our entire enthusiastic, grateful human system how unbelievably much Carinthian cuisine has to give.
The Strandhotel Weissensee will provide you with that which we got in private - during our spiritual couple's time out together at the Tantra Retreat Austria: the ingredients there also come directly from the garden or from the region, are also organic and vegetarian in any case - and mostly even vegan (completely vegan on request). Joy's animal-loving, empathetic heart leaps for joy at the thought.
During our tour of the hotel, we were able to absorb the positive, friendly, calm energy of the wellness resort and are already looking forward to spending time with you in the seminar, in nature, on the private beach, in the swimming pool and in the sauna.

Joy S. is a musician, author and specialist in self-love. As an intuitive guide, she helps people find the courage to discover their innermost longings and face their shadows. During spiritual events, Joy turns into a body or musical medium, often playing with fairy-like healing tones and frequencies, while expressing her Kali side when she is standing on stage as the lead singer of rock bands – thus covering the entire tantric spectrum. Together with her husband Thomas, she provides a safe space for deep tantric experiences and supports participants in their self-healing process.
As YouMeUnity, we are offering to accompany you on your journey to yourself. We enjoy it so much to see people arrive at their innermost core. In doing so they are getting ready to embrace one or several relationships that can last and that are honest, deeper than ever before and 100 % heart-open. Such a secure bonding includes honest and appreciative communication, an open heart and a readiness in everyone involved to fully love themselves – and by doing so, learning to love everyone and everything on this beautiful planet, too. Self-confidence, courage, authenticity and embracing what is are also part of this – as well as accepting everything about yourself, even those character traits that you are not particularly proud of. And, of course everything that reminds you of your innate Buddha within yourself.
