Summer TANTRA Week – Inner Alchemy
17-23/8/2026, Central Portugal. Early-Bird Prices until 1/5
An intense week of practice in a communal setting at the edge of a beautiful river. We explore the inner alchemy of energy, intention and connection.
What is better than practicing Tantra in nature, in a remote location, wild, and just next to a beautiful river. Do not expect a wellness retreat, but rather a beautiful, open spot to work outside, to do water meditations and dive into the deep end of your energy, connection and experiment…
This Summer Week offers you the opportunity to integrate the Tantra work into daily life. Living and working together opens up a space for realization: how does the practice resonate with my habits and stories? How do I really relate to myself and others? How does the energetic work we do change our view on our entangled lives?
We will practice Ancient Tantra Kriya Yoga (a revised yoga that is practiced in couple and in group, in which you move energy from body to body with every asana), couple meditations, dance meditations, we will sing and devise rituals for the water, the sun and the elements in and outside of our bodies. And most of all we will explore the alchemy of the Tantric body, the ebb and flow of energy coursing through our veins. In order to come to a deeper understanding, overcome limitations and programming and come home in ourselves.
A Tantra week gives us the time and the space to go deep in the practice, to find out what moves us and what triggers us. We practice together, getting up early for morning meditation, and ending the night maybe with a full moon practice, or a late night dive. We also cook together and keep the house and work space in shape.
Living together like that brings the practice much closer to home. You are no longer the consumer of an offering, but you take part in creating it. You work on intimacy with people you share a space with for a whole week. This makes the work gain in strength, as does the nature setting, and the privacy.
If you want to come, make sure to reserve a spot in time….
During this week, we will do silent movement meditations, walks, and other ritual practices.
“I was fortunate to take part in this beautiful retreat when I first arrived in Portugal in early spring. The sense of companionship, openness, and trust that unfolded in this space was truly magical. I found myself both deeply alone, able to sink fully into my own practice, and yet profoundly connected to a greater whole.
A very special place, held in the heart of nature. I would go again in a heartbeat.”
James, Spring Silent Retreat 2025
The location
The location is overlooking the River with its own river beaches
You will be guided through the day, work with clear scores for your meditations, and we allow for enough variation for your body to feel welcomed into the work, and for nature to support your practice.
“The silent retreat I participated with Robin was a life changing experience. It was exactly what I needed. I left the retreat with tools and motivation to re-establish and deepen my meditation practice.
The space itself was super cozy, the surroundings were green and beautiful and generally the environment felt healing in many ways.
I felt safe and held when needed.
I highly recommend”
