Pentecost Tantra Retreat
Sacred Spirit -
Earthly Desires
A Tantric Pentecost Experience for the Curious and Advanced
Friday before Pentecost 22.5.26 to Whit Monday 25.5.26
at the SandsteinHof seminar house, Elmstein, Palatinate
Our Pentecost Tantra Retreat will be wonderfully erotic and healing at the same time! Let’s celebrate the enthusiasm with which we can use our sensuality to be better, stronger-willed, more loving people. Together we’ll explore what really fulfills us and makes us happy.
This seminar helps you as a single person, couple or someone in any other constellation to reconcile the love of your heart with your sexuality and your mind. We playfully learn how we can be more loving and fun.
Find the balance in everything that belongs to you. During our seminar, you will be asked to consciously act from your Higher Self, your sacred, superhuman side – and at other times to play with your humanity, your desire and your passion.
Sacred Spirit – Earthly Desires, our tantric Pentecost retreat, will take place this year at the SandsteinHof seminar house in the historic Elmstein Valley – a place that offers space and freedom and at the same time grounds you. The Palatinate Forest, with all its light and power, helps us to open up spaces in which mind and body can unfold in equal measure.
Feel and explore balance on all levels at the Pentecost Tantra Retreat
The most important prerequisite for being able to move safely, freely and unihibitedly in a tantric space is that you can feel and communicate your boundaries, which we will practice together thoroughly. Only if you can communicate your “no” clearly (verbally and with body language) can others believe your joyful “yes.”
At Pentecost, we also invite you to explore your perception in a new way. For certain sequences, we will consciously withdraw our sense of sight in order to sharpen our other senses and savour the feeling of bliss that arises when we can sense much more, because there is no visual distraction keeping us from seeing energetically. This new and different sight of vision increases our awareness of the big picture. Energy, presence and connectedness can unfold in a completely unknown, exciting way.
Explore the right dose of intimacy and distance, touching and not wanting to be touched, company and being alone. Feel and appreciate your body on an intense, integrated level and bring your heart into harmony with your clear mind and sensuality. You will immerse yourself in the field of universal love to a depth that you have never experienced before.
At YouMeUnity we work with exercises from the Kashmiri and Tibetan tantra tradition. Mindful physical presence increases the release of the happiness hormone, oxytocin. Powerful experiences in a protected space, alone, as a couple or in a group, strengthen your ability to stand up for yourself, to present yourself truthfully and authentically in every moment, to trust yourself, love and life in general more and more. Yin Yoga and meditation help you become freer and not hold fast to your experiences.
Pentecost Tantra Retreat - the content
The schedule is simple: Friday evening is time for arriving, getting to know each other, first tender or wild encounters and the first temple night together. On Saturday evening, you’ll get a little more into feeling, into the now. You’ll get to know yourself and the other participants better. A tantric ritual follows, then free temple time. Sleep helps you to regenerate and start the next morning fully energized.
On Sunday morning we start with Yin Yoga / a morning meditation and after breakfast we dive into the other seminar modules, which can also include a systemic constellation if required. In between, there is time for a sauna, a refreshing dip in the seminar’s own natural pond, relaxation or a massage for each other. The wonderful evening festival ritual followed by free temple time allows you to immerse yourself once again in an open, sensual space, from which you can of course also withdraw if your need for solitude, peace or sleep calls you.
On Whit Monday we start again with yoga or a meditation, before we get to know practical exercises for sensuality and clarity of mind in our tantric morning module, which will deepen our common Pentecost experience once more. A verbally and physically nourishing final experience rounds off the seminar.
At home, you will digest what you have experienced, let it sink in, cultivate new habits and become aware of many new concepts and realizations in the days and weeks that follow. You can also book an individual or couple’s session for yourself before the seminar begins. In such a private session you can clear up important topics for yourself in advance, allow absolute openness in a protected intimate setting or receive exercise recommendations tailored to you personally.

Why the Palatinate Forest is so well suited for our Pentecost Retreat
A personal insight from Joy
Pentecost stands for spirit, inspiration and connection beyond the visible. By temporarily refraining from seeing, we open up spaces for deeper perception - beyond roles, images and expectations.
The Palatinate Forest is particularly well suited to this. It is alive, breathing, everything is always in motion, there is something new to discover every day. You can feel this particularly well when you are out and about barefoot. Sometimes the floor is soft, sometimes prickly, sometimes cold, sometimes it feels really cozy.
It is also a place of secrets and joyful discoveries. This is exactly what makes it an ideal place for Pentecost - a celebration of the spirit, of inspiration, of the in-between.
Perhaps we walk through the darkness at night, which after a while is no longer so dark. As soon as we concentrate more on sensing, we become a part of the forest, a part of this living, pulsating ecosystem. The forest invites you to trust yourself and life more.
Do you like water, movement and the play of the elements? Around our seminar location you will find springs, pools and ponds that invigorate and clarify. The Karlstal Gorge is a fun way to cool off on hot days.
And sometimes you don't even need to be in the wild:
Just arriving at the SandsteinHof is enough. Sitting on the terrace, feeling the wind on your skin, refreshing yourself in the natural swimming pond or letting the warmth of the sauna take effect.
The Palatinate Forest carries all of this.
It doesn't impose itself.
It opens up spaces.
For embodiment, for a lust for life, for the spirit that blows where it wants.
I came back filled with so much love and was really able to take a lot with me, both a wonderful memory of the experience and the interpersonal relationships. I was also able to gain some very valuable insights about myself. I have rarely felt so well looked after as I do with you.Many, many kind regards
In new situations and with new people, I'm always cautious at first, to sound out the situation, so to speak. I always have to get to know people a bit first. But I felt comfortable in the group right from the start. Everyone was very open and positive.
It was a very healing experience for me to have the space to go at my own pace and really feel inside myself whether I was feeling yes or no.
Your exercises and the discussions have given me a lot of confidence. I have been working on the topic of setting boundaries for some time now. In the past, I often overstepped my boundaries because I did things for others until I got into an overload situation. Back then, I didn't really feel my limits and I often wasn't even aware that I was overstepping my boundaries. My awareness has already changed a lot, but sometimes I still find it difficult to offend people when I put my needs first.
The retreat showed me a lot in this respect. I always had the others in mind and asked myself how the others were doing, but I always tried to keep to myself. That really strengthened me. The energy in the group was so loving and appreciative that the retreat is still having an effect and I feel very fulfilled and full of new energy.

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.
