Curious about what tantra could mean for you? Interested in exploring tantra further in a way that feels calm and clear? These two day workshops „Tantra Connection are made exactly for this moment. You’ll start where everything in tantra starts: in your own body, your breath, your senses, the feelings that live inside of you. You’ll be introduced to our view of tantra and to the methods we work with at the Kama Tantra Centre.
These day-workshops are an introduction into classical nondualist saiva tantra and into the teachings of Kama Tantra.
Day 1 „Consciousness & energy“ is the ideal starting point for people with no experience of tantra.
Day 2 „Desires & Boundaries“ is a more in-depth experience, open to anyone who wishes to explore further. Experience gained in Day 1 or in other contexts may be helpful here.
We welcome you into a warm, carefully held space.
The workshops will be conducted in English. Participants will also hold conversation exchanges in English.
Kama Tantra is a space for experience that arises from encounters: between tradition and the present, between teacher and participants, between desire, stillness and the heart.
Workshop Leader
Marc van Daele
Tantra teacher, group facilitator for body-oriented psychotherapy for couples and sex therapy, and founder of Kama Tantra
Since 2016, Marc has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the tantric path. During this time, he has gained profound experience in various tantriaschools and has engaged intensively with the practice, philosophy and spiritual depth of tantra.
His tantric approach is rooted in classical Śaiva Tantra, which understands the world as a conscious expression of absolute consciousness. His work creates spaces for experience where people are welcomed in all their diversity – regardless of gender, sexual orientation, relationship status or spiritual background.
Marc leads Tantra groups and supports individuals and couples in private sessions.

Day 2: Desires & Boundaries
Sunday 15 November – 10-18 h
In this workshop we’ll explore engaging with others in a more authentic way, as our true selves.
- We’ll learn to accept the other person as they are, without projecting our own ideas onto them.
- From theory to practice: we’ll briefly delve into non-dual Saiva Tantra theory before a full day of practice.
- You are welcome to embrace your desires and will learn to accept and express them.
- You will become aware of your boundaries and learn to articulate them.
- In doing so, you will also engage with the desires and boundaries of others.
- You will consciously engage with touch, recognising its various intentions and qualities.
- Step-by-step guidance lets you move at your own pace. Quiet time is foreseen time for meditation, for silence, and for letting the day settle.
Desires and boundaries will create the safe space for deeper encounters.

Participants experience
“I felt completely safe at all times, which meant I was also able to learn to express my needs and wishes.”
Christina, aged 42, from Neuss
As a tantra workshop leader, I find Marc to be a calm, present and mindful guide. With his respectful manner, he creates a safe space in which you can engage openly with your own experiences, free from pressure.
Anyone wishing to discover or deepen their understanding of tantra in a respectful and mindful way is in good hands at Kamatantra.
