Dive into the secrets of conscious touch, discovering sensuality, intimacy and refined Eros. Uncover the mysteries of the sacred masculine and feminine, connect more deeply with yourself, while offering the wonderful gift of sensual bliss to another soul.

This course is designed to help people connect in a more profound, healing and soul-nourishing way.

By addressing the fundamental power of attraction and polarity which is at the heart of any relationship, you will have practical way of embracing and applying the principles of Tantra in your daily life.

The search for intimacy often seems fraught with risk and danger, but this is simply because it is done without love. When we approach intimacy from the heart, we start to realise that rather than stepping unprepared out into the wilderness, it is a true journey home, imbued with all the feelings of safety, security and love that characterise discovering the route within, to our true self.

Who is this course for?

For those who wish for deeper connections

People who want to learn the art of intimacy in a practical way, who want to offer and receive touch in a very profound and conscious way that nourishes our soul.

For both beginners and professionals

People who want to develop spiritually. We will go over the fundamentals of physical massage technique, and then deepen this with Tantric principles to transform the massage into an elevated spiritual experience.

For those who wish to awaken Love and Eros

People who want to discover the sacred masculine and feminine and use the sublime power of polarity and love to expand their consciousness and awaken their being.

The four modules of this Tantric Massage Course are amazing! It has helped me to connect much deeper with my inner power and my heart. It has made such a huge difference to my life as now I see everything from the perspective of my heart whereas before the course, I only knew how to see the world with my mind. It has even brought a deeper connection between me and my fiance. Now I practise this perspective every day and

I feel as though in such a short amount of time, I was able to learn so much and would be able to and look forward to applying the knowledge in life. I want to continue to explore ways to express my femininity”.

I highly recommend this course! After the course, me and my partner had a beautiful, sensual, intimate love making in which we incorporated many of the massage techniques we learnt. Through the course I gained an incredible depth of understanding of my physical and emotional body. This feeling is so profound and deep, an intimacy with myself which I haven’t felt before. I wanted this inward expansion to explicitly trigger but

JulieTantric Massage Course student

In this massage course, I learnt new massage techniques, grew in self-confidence/body confidence, understood some really life-changing principles of tantra. I feel it will help me build stronger relationships and have more confidence in life”.

The massage course has been such a sublime experience. From the first module, I felt already equipped with the necessary ingredients to practice at home: we left the room with an uplifting state, a bunch of notes and a few hours of practice. Practicing it at home definitely helped! There was plenty of material to digest. I liked the continuity of the modules, each starting from the experience of the previous ones

AlbertoTantric Massage Course student

It was very helpful to understand the specific ways to massage in a masculine and feminine way – and to put it into practice. And it’s always good to get more practice with transfiguration! It helps me integrate it into my daily life, and to lean towards optimism. The massage practice will bear many fruits. Tara exceeded expectations as usual! Wonderful people, wonderful experience”.

Participating in this course has opened up a whole new world for me in which I can express my femininity and love. It has been so amazing to offer this massage and feel how the other completely relaxes and awakens at the same time, diving deep into their pleasure and expansion of consciousness.

RhiannonTantric Massage Course student

It brought me out of my comfort zone as I am relatively new in my spiritual journey and have never experienced Tantric practice. It met my expectations and more. I feel it will help me in my relationships with others and myself. It is opening up a whole new journey for me”.

The workshop was great to deepen the connection with my partner, and to teach me how important it is to take the time to care for her. I also learnt how to work with my energy and my partner’s energy”.

To many, the word massage summons up experiences of being pummelled or kneaded like dough. Immediately banish this image from your mind! Tantric Massage is completely different. It is a path to self knowledge. It is an unimaginably sublime experience in which we travel through layers of our being to reach the hidden treasures of one’s own self and that of the other. Here teacher Ben Carver describes to student Vivienne Rush the myriad delights of Tantric Massage.

What is Tantric Massage? (blog article)

“In this state of deep self-connection, tantric massage cuts the chains of fear, the shackles of shame and inhibition, any constrictions in the heart.”

Tantric massage is a spiritual practice in its own right. Like a river with many streams flowing into it, there are many aspects to the practice of tantric massage. To both give and receive tantric massage is a beautiful and heartfelt step on the spiritual path, bringing an intense yet safe awakening of the erotic energies that are brimming with life, so that body, mind and soul overflow with love, and the joy of renewal and rejuvenation.

FAQs

Will I receive detailed written handouts of the massage?

You will receive several printed handouts, but note-taking is also advised as the teachers will be sharing many personal insights from their own extensive personal experience of this beautiful massage technique.

What level of experience do I need for this course?

We welcome absolute beginners and massage professionals alike. This course gives valuable insights and practice in the Tantric, conscious and loving approach to massage.

We will begin with the basics of the physical massage and then build upon that with the understanding of polarity, and many different nuances of awareness and depth, that will help you flow ever more freely into genuinely expressing yourself, your true self, in a way that nourishes and awakens both you and your beloved.

Will I receive an accredited certificate for completing this course?

This course will not provide you with accredited certification. It is for your personal spiritual development, as an individual and as a couple.

I don’t have a partner. Can I still join the course?

You do need a partner to join the course.

In the lead up to the massage course we will hold a variety of events in which you may be able to meet someone who wishes to partner with you on the course. Keep an eye on our events list and emails for these event announcements!

Please note that the modules do require quite a high level of intimacy and openness during the massage, so being comfortable with each other is important, and Tara cannot be responsible for any issues that arise from partnering with someone you don’t already know.

What level of flexibility do I need to be able to practice Tantric Massage in the course?

Due to the types of techniques that we teach, the massage is given on a mattress on the floor. You will therefore need to be able to work sitting on the floor. If you are not used to sitting and kneeling for longer periods of time, you can bring a cushion to help support yourself.
