Our favourite links - recommendations for books on tantra, self-love, yoga & more
If you are interested in enlightenment and being in the now, we would like to recommend Eckhart Tolle's books. In his YouTube channel he mixes the chuckles that we love so much with interesting, objective talk on enlightenment and more. Watching him occasionally change his energy into the one of a happy little schoolboy is so much joy.
Diana Richardson writes recommendable books about spirituality, relationships, femininity, love and slow sex that can radically change your own perspective.
Other favourite authors and personalities who have greatly influenced us
Joy: My journey into being in the now and tapping into the frequency of self-love began with the books Woman Who Runs With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés and Reconciling with the Inner Child (Aussöhnung mit dem inneren Kind) by Erika Chopich and Margaret Paul (that I would strongly recommend to be translated into English language, too). Other formative influences were Richard Rudd’s Gene Keys, courses, videos and audios by Lee Harris, Debbie Ford’s The Dark Side of The Light Chasers, the books by Varda Hasselmann and those by Nicki Scully and Osho.
And to be honest, there were several hundred more – I was a glutton for books in younger years. Soaking up knowledge on all kinds of topics that interested me like a sponge was my favourite pastime. It took me a while to let go of this thirst for knowledge (and the underlying fear of missing out on something or not being enough). My own current non-fiction book, Feeling Loved, is also indirectly about this journey. However, it is not yet available in any language but German. If you want to help change this, please get in touch. 🙂 🙂
Our Favourite Links for Inspiring, Touching Videos
living the same day again and again and again
Bill Murray at his best as the egocentric, cynical weatherman Phil Connors. This movie is not only hilarious, but also incredibly tantric.
by Marcus Markou
A beautiful, touching way of capturing the essence of Tantra in words and images that you won’t forget.
by Dan Millman
Here is one of our favorite scenes from the movie “Peaceful Warrior”. Nothing to add. 🙂 Just watch it.
a spiritual movie about perception and energy
“The Prophecy of Celestine” is an impressive, exciting movie that shows how powerful and life-changing conscious energy work can be.
Finding peace in chaos
A very chaotic, hectic and action-packed movie. At least that’s how it seems in the trailer or at the beginning. But in truth, it radiates peace and tranquillity. A lot of tantric ideas are also incorporated, as well as numerous tongue-in-cheek references to other famous creative projects. And humour is not missing at all either. Enjoy.
A classic and one of the most beautiful romantic-spiritual films ever
A young woman moves into a house that is said to be haunted. If you like working with energies and have a connection to the otherworldly, you will find some things amusingly familiar. 🙂
Beautiful homage to friendship, freedom and being different
A mortician trapped in the daily grind accidentally drives into a man he believes to be mentally impaired. But the young man is a philosopher and turns the mortician’s life upside down in a tragicomic way.
A special event even for non-sci-fi lovers
A super-loving dystopian film that provides insight into the deepest truths of human existence in an exciting and confident way. At least that’s how we feel about it. 🙂

nature fashion by Tanja Vana
When I (Joy) need beautiful, new fairy clothes – or cool yoga pants, Ajna Clothing has been my favourite address for several years. The colours are beautiful, the clothes super comfortable, the cuts unusual and cool – and everything is organic and vegan, too.
By the way, owner Tanja will tailor your new dress in your favourite colours super fast and efficiently.

The minimum stay is 3 days. If a room is available and you are attending one of our seminars, simply contact us – we may have a place for you to sleep.
Our expert for classical Buddhist tantra
Helmut Poller is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Buddhist Tantra. His teachings are entertaining, incredibly informative and profound. Among other things, he is a knowledge holder of the Nyngma lineage. The energy of his greatest teacher, Master Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche, is also palpable within him.
Helmut Poller now mainly teaches small groups (couples or individuals) in his home town of Vienna or online.
But sometimes, in very rare, special cases, he also visits us in Heidelberg to teach in a small circle and possibly even give an initiation or two.
Great overview of tantra events in German-speaking countries
Jan Thiemo, Stella and the rest of the team at “Raum für …” from Freiburg have created some great tantra channels where you can find out about tantra events throughout the German-speaking world.
There is a channel for western Germany, a tantra channel for southern Germany and a supra-regional tantra channel for the entire German-speaking region. Have fun browsing.
Great photographer and dear friend of the family
It’s a tough decision: Kevin in front of the camera as a model – or behind it? With us you can experience him in both roles. You can find some of his pictures on our YouMeUnity pages or on our social media channels. If you want more or are interested in Kevin’s work outside of YouMeUnity, have a look here at Real Souls Photography.
