Integrating body, mind, and spirit
Bringing transformative Tantra into your life
Even though life has the potential for endless fulfilment, it can be challenging to lean into this reality. We can experience emotional shallowness, miss truthfulness in relations, or feel stuck in old patterns. Spiritual practices can lead to ‘heights’, yet it is difficult to transfer the deeper learnings into everyday life. Or you feel that the spiritual teachings do not embrace the totality of your experience, like your playfulness, everyday frustration, or sensuality.
Somewhere you know there is more. More realness, more joyfulness, a deeper connection with your essence,
an embodiment of your authentic path.
Integrated Tantra...
invites you to let go of how spirituality should or shouldn’t look like, and take all experiences into a continuous exploration – from the most extraordinary to everyday ones. It’s not about becoming more nice, spiritual or perfect, but about becoming aware of the totality of who you are. All parts of you can be the starting point for realizing your free, limitless, and joyful essence.
May it be real? May it be juicy? May it be raw?
By honestly exploring what is inside, we can experience boundless freedom that expands in mysterious ways.
Enter your scary truth, there might be some beautiful gems hidden within.
Hi, my name is Ruben! After having practised mindfulness since 2010, I was able to observe my inner state – yet it was quite mental. Then I discovered the tantric path seven years ago, which showed me how to get out of the head and into the body. I learned to truly embody my emotions and free the vital energy that is locked in my system. This uncovered a deeper understanding and expansion of who I take myself to be.
I know what it is like to be absorbed in mental ways of practising spirituality. I see many of us having the same struggles. This makes me passionate to share my work with you.

Get to know yourSelf deeply, take ownership over your life and become free on profound levels.
I am Helena, a passionate explorer of truthful human life experiences. I began researching mySelf through psychology. However, the first conscious connection I felt to myself came later. Yoga, and meditation helped me feel my body and solidifying the connection to Life. Like that, I grew into living from a place of more freedom, authenticity, and well-being.
Now, I am holding space for others who want to live more fully and expand consciousness. In a space of presence, the practice is about genuinely relating to yourself and to others, to explore diversities, and oneness.
I am looking forward to being with you!

Tantra is a spiritual path that evolved around 2500 years ago with the aim to widen consciousness about oneself as part of this Universe. Originally, this path was practised by Laymen. They were asked to bring awareness into every aspect of life, while cooking, while walking, while praying, while making love… Basically, in this philosophy, every experience is an entrance to presence. The aim was not only to become high and enlightened, but also to be aware of contractions and ‘difficult emotions’ that inevitably come up in interaction with this world.
With many traditions, there is a focus on transcendence of this world with the idea that this earthly life is not part of spirituality. By only focussing on observing and detaching from desires and emotions, one can withdraw from this life and all complications that come with it. Other spiritual practices try to make life ‘better’ and more ‘happy’ by changing one’s energy into more ‘positive’ forms, thereby excluding other (beautiful) facets of this existence.
Tantra takes a more inclusive path that invites you to embody the awareness and all forms of vital energy. Instead of being an enemy of the spiritual process, emotions, desires and vitality are taken as a beautiful source of energy we can use to free blockages and activate our presence.
In our conscious spaces, we work with Tantric philosophy, Yoga, bodywork, Gestalt psychology, breathwork, and partner exercises to create a wholesome exploration.
Ever since we started Tantra, we are experiencing a profound re-connection with ourselves. Life is more free, joyful and truthful. This does not mean that all the problems are gone. It means that we are progressively learning to embrace all experiences in our system without resisting them. In our inner world, this means that pleasure is pleasure, pain is pain and that’s exactly the beauty of life. In contact with others, Tantra teaches us that there is no need to hide our inner truth. This deepend the relations with the people around us and enriches our life.
We stand for integrating both, the depths of the shadows, and the richness of life. Our personal practice teaches us awareness and freedom in our being, and in contact. We are happy to share our work with you!
The conscious work we do asks for a safe setting, and an attitude of curiosity. To enable the deep-dive and flying high in yourself, we facilitate spaces of presence. Depending on the moment, we invite, support, or challenge you on the inner research. The most diverse aspects of you are welcomed to come to the surface. They are all part of the free flow of this life.We believe: It doesn’t have to be beautiful, but we choose to commit and stay!
Breathe in – dare to feel, let it all in
Breathe out – soften, let it go again
We are happy to get to know you and support you on your journey.

Wow what a nourishing, powerful experience! The ‘Trust’ retreat was really what I needed! It was magical! a well balanced mix of methods to tap into our hurt/darkness and then step into our light/our vital power. It came easy to trust the group and the practices, R&H created a safe space for us from the very first evening! I am grateful to all and will for sure attend other Integrated Tantra events!
