The Essence of Tantra
Your journey to love, touch and freedom
Essence of Tantra – Tantra Intensive Weekends
Bookable as one of 5 individual workshops and as a complete annual training course. For singles, couples and other constellations
Our Annual Tantra Training is suitable for singles, couples and people with several partners who want to deepen and enrich their relationships – whether with themselves or with others. We combine classical tantra with knowledge gathered from our counseling sessions and can thus provide you with a comprehensive training that enhances both your individual development and your relationship skills.
What we would like to gift you with
Our goal is to support you in allowing deeper connections – with yourself, your beloved or even with several partners. Through the combination of tantric practices, conscious touch and mindful communication, you will experience yourself in a new, sex-positive space for personal growth and authentic encounters.
Flexibility and entry
You can join this annual training at any time, as each module is self-contained and comes from a circular, holistic perspective. This means that you are not bound by the human-drawn boundaries of the calendar year. 😉
Please find all the dates for the current year further down the page. You can make up for missed modules in the following year. If you would like to just try out one weekend first, go ahead and join us for that.
Who is the training suitable for?
The training is perfect for:
- Singles who long for knowledge and deep, fulfilling relationships
- Couples who want to deepen their existing relationship and sexuality
- Practicing couples who enjoy gaining new experience together

The Essence of Tantra - What we at YouMeUnity would like to give you
Are you ready to go all in and immerse yourself in The Essence of Tantra? If so, it is likely that you will experience how healing and liberating it is to be true to yourself and your needs.
With us, you will find a space that allows you to be completely honest with yourself and others and to recognize how much closeness, love and freedom you really need. You will expand your spiritual and sexual energies and at the same time be able to better understand the needs of others and harmonize them with your own.
Through new ways of thinking and feeling, you will be able to deal with your inner demons in a more playful way than before and thus experience connection with other people on a much deeper level.
At the end of your journey with us, you will have broadened your horizons, left old beliefs and relationship automatisms behind you and arrived at the next level.
Now you can have new, more fulfilling relationship experiences, be it with the person close to your heart, with yourself or with your dream partner who is already waiting for you somewhere. Together you can kindle a magical fire of love, as hot and intoxicating as it is long-lasting and warming. And if this is all too much “eso talk” for you, that’s fine too. At least you’ll take home a whole lot of fun, sensuality and heartfelt joy. 🙂

The contents of our 5 Tantra Intensive Weekend Workshops

The basics summarized
Our YouMeUnity Tantra Annual Training “The Essence of Tantra” and our Tantra Intensive Weekends are designed for singles and couples, and also for other creative constellations. Love & Freedom Tantra by YouMeUnity is based on traditional Kashmiri and Tibetan teachings combined with modern sexual psychology.
Important for couples: You can experience “The Essence of Tantra” completely freely and independently of each other if you feel like it. However, you also have the option of enjoying the Tantra Intensive Weekends with couple protection, i.e. doing the in-depth tantric exercises exclusively with each other. Learn more about couple protection in the FAQ here.
The 5 Tantra Intensive Weekends of “The Essence of Tantra” are just as suitable for newcomers to tantra as for those who have been in the tantric field for some time. You will be pushed to your limits and have exactly the experience that will take you further – in a safe space that is well maintained.
Each of the 5 Tantra Intensive Weekends includes
- guided tantric massages
- Energy & Sound Healing
- numerous powerful exercises from Kashmiri and Tibetan Tantra
- optional: morning meditation / Yin Yoga
In addition, participants of the entire Tantra Annual Training receive two very special discounts:
- Bonus A: 1 individual sexual psychology consultation (60 minutes) at half the hourly rate
- Bonus B: Half the regular price for one of the following 3 Tantra retreats (Easter, Pentecost or New Year’s Tantra).

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.
